I'm posting this for my friends Pam and Gerrit Kurstjens. They would like to swap gliders, they can offer a Nimbus 4T (with car and trailer) in Europe or Australia in exchange for an open class or 18m glider to fly for a few weeks in the western states including the Ely camp (July 10-25th 2004)...

Hey guys, I've been off usenet for a couple years now. Anyway, I am currently a CFII that would like to learn how to soar. I've contacted a couple local clubs for information, which they have been very good to reply so far! I don't have a whole lot of uninterrupted time right now to devote towards...

As we all know, adding ballast to a glider shifts the polar, allowing higher speeds at better L/D ratios. What happens when we are pulling, say 1.5 gees, as we thermal. Does our L/D and sink rate reflect the 1 gee weight ... or the 1.5 gee 'force'.

I have heard that putting turb tape on the TOP of the wing on the G 104 wing will improve performance. I have heard of putting it on the bottom but not on top. I would like to give it a try but am uncertain where to place the tape. It is the Eppler 662 airfoil. thanks
