HVLP Paint Sprayer Recommendations by
LongJourney
Has anyone used an HVLP sprayer to refinish a wood and fabric aircraft? If so, did you get a better finish? Did it save a significant amount of paint? Was it worth using vs. a regular paint spray gun?
Thanks,
Jeff

Spinning a Pegase by
Dan S
My Pegase 101's flight manual states that aerobatic maneuvers including intentional spins are prohibited.
I'm keen to test the behaviour of the glider in a spin and also the spin recovery procedure.
Is the Pegase really unsuitable for intentional spins, will the wings fall off?

ASW-24 by
Lee Rusconi
I have an opportunity to buy a 1988 ASW-24 which is
in beautiful condition, good electronics and great
trailer. The glider is equipped with M&H winglets.
The asking price is $45,000 US. I would appreciate
any feedback regarding the winglets and/or the price.
Thanks

Tost release and chain links by
Ramy[_2_]
Chain links are often used instead of TOST rings for ground tows behind golf carts, as they are much cheaper. I noticed today that I can easily slide the chain link out of the nose hook of my glider without pulling the release, while in other gliders I can’t. Looks like my release has slightly...

2-33 fuselage stand by
Waveguru
Long ago our club had a great stand for the fuselage of a 2-33. It hooked under the steps on each on each side of the fuselage, and it rocked over center with a long bar. It was very stable. Does anybody have plans for one of these?
