So I would like to start flying my DG-300 with water; but the previous
owner tells me that the bags weren't used for about the last 10 years. Rather than take a chance on them, I'd like to replace them. My local DG dealer (whom I do appreciate) is saying its about $1000USD per bag from the factory (I have the larger bags in my wings). I don't have that kind of free cash, and I'm not a fan of the DG leadership at the moment anyway. ....So I see from earlier threads that other people heartily recommend the smiley bags, and the Eastern Sailplane website quotes a pretty darned good price for the DG-300 (I'm assuming its for the smaller bags, but that's OK). However, the last RAS post I can find claims that Eastern Sailplane no longer offers them? Can anyone confirm this? And if Eastern is out, do folks have any recommendations? I see a few comments about "Clipper" in AU, but that's a long way from the US and I'm not sure about ordering from a waterbed company (not that I don't trust their product - just that its probably something odd for them to handle and may be a complicated order). Any thoughts, comments, or recommendations? Thanks! --Noel |
