I am installing a regular rod type antenna on the wooden turtledeck of my plane where it will attach to only wood. I got the antenna from a friend who didn't have the attaching hardware. Do I need to do or know anything special to attach this antenna to make sure it operates correctly? Does it...

Come on now, what where some of the highlights from this year's convention for those of us stuck at home for various reasons. With no convention next year, there should have been a lot of "new" stuff. Usually RAS is full of post-convention Some information I would love to hear about would...

Hello North America! Our annual Marfa (Texas) Thermal & Wave Camp may need another towplane. Being hospitable Texans, we've found it hard to say "no" to pilots wanting to fly at Marfa from March 29 - April 6, 2008, so now were over-subscribed. Last year 20 sailplanes enjoyed our spring soaring,...

The rubber pistol grip on the flap handle in my LS6 is pretty badly deteriorated. The spoiler handle grip is also going down hill. DG replied to an email that they can't help me with replacements. The next step could be fabrication, but I thought I'd try the group first. Is there a source for these...
