Erik,

According to the rules, bug wipers are not allowed
in competitions flown in the US. At least, that's
the way I interpret the rules...

Which model of LS1 do you fly?

Where in Europe do you fly?

'back' in vogue? I don't know any contest flyer who
doesn't use them. I'd
say they are one of the best inventions in gliding
history. They are still
useful on modern airfoils, to say nothing of older
ones, like on my LS1.
