Looking now for the best support I can find to allow me to be more

out there with practical experience.

Of course, some of your buddies would be happy to assemble
your glider for a few beers, at least as long as you have good
rigging aids (you know, the red ones, not the gray ones) *;-)
See you in March,
Best Regards, Dave "YO electric"

That may be a problem but can always paint the thing red. Still I have
to come up with the beer. I am looking for a body type back support.
Was wondering if there are products out there that may be better then
others.

Hi Udo,

On the Schreder website there is an article from Tony Burton
concerning a back support he made for his RS-15. I also had a bit of
a problem with long flights in mine, and followed Tony's method for
making a support.
It works fine.

OK, if you insist... One of my partners sent me this a while back:

....Valeo back brace. They warm up and really work.
Mine is the 4" width and seems to do the trick.
Just find your right waist size.

Quick comment - the easy way to make a fibreglass copy is simply to cover
it with lightweight fibreglass cloth, wetted out with epoxy, and finish
sand the result. One or two layers of 100 gsm (4 oz/sq.yard) should do
thje trick, and if you're feeling keen, a final layer of 25 gsm (1 oz/
sq.yard) will give a nice finish. Your local "RC hobby shop" should stock
suitable glass and epoxy or, if they don't, in the USA get it mail order
from Aerospace Composite Products or Composite Structures Technology.
