A rare opportunity to purchase this classic gilder. She has been very well looked after and flies like a dream. She has very low hours and launches (845 Hours & 361 launches as of May 2009). She has her original Gel coat, which is in very good condition. The flaps give good slow speed handling in...

Hi, A customer purchase an AmeriKing AK-450 ELT from me on Jan. 16, 2006. He soon found that he could not make it fit into his glider. He has returned it to me. Unfortunately, it does not quite look new due to a few minor scratches. I would never try to sell it as new (that's not the way...

I just replaced the gas springs/struts for my trailer with ones from EasySprings of North America. They were very helpful. If they do not have what you need on the shelf, they will custom make them to your specifications. Fortunately I was able to read the label on my old struts (900N) so with a...

JFK gave Barbara Pierce a lesson in life in the summer of 1944 (making her a "Cape Cod heiress"), and to her eventual husband, JFK gave a personal motive for revenge. Perhaps if George and Barb had announced their earlier engagement or even if George had given Barb a diamond instead of a cheap...

Hmmm.... I was wondering if metal gliders have an L/D disadvantage due to the metal, or because of the lousy rivets and poor wing airfoil and draggy struts (of the SGS gliders, for example). Is it possible to make a retract gear metal glider with flush rivets and a carry-through spar which would...

It looks like we have 15-20 great folks sincerely interested in participating in this event. I suspect that more will surface once the organization begins and a real event is scheduled. I have been talking with Brian Spreckley and Eric Mozer for a couple years about this. Initially it seemed...
