Darryl, CoggFly,


Thanks for your comments. *Today I called Eastern Sailplane, the
manufacturer and retailer of Smiley Bags... *Smiley Bags is no more --
he quit offerring these because his vendor prices got too high (he
says).


So, I'm left with the Austrailian company (looking into it) AND seeing
if I can patch this bag up.

Eric, I bought LS4 bags from the Australian company. It was a great
deal, fraction of the cost of factory bag, and I didn't have any
issues with them. Didn't need to send drawing as they already had
them, I bet they have for the 300 as well. Contact me if you need more
info.

Good Morning,
If installing the Australian bags, is there an issue regarding
installing the bags in a FAA standard class sailplane? (LS-3A)
Thanks
