Nyal Williams
I wonder how many different landing checklists are in use. If the list
you use is not USTALL, (Undercarriage, Speed, Trim, Airbrakes, Look out
for Traffic, Land), please post here and label the items.

Peter F Selinger by
Paul Remde
Hi,
I'm trying to contact Peter F. Selinger in regard to several of the very
nice soaring books he has helped create. Can anyone direct me to his e-mail
address? Please e-mail it to me directly - don't post it on this forum.
Thanks,
Paul Remde

12v - 12v charger by
5Z
I currently charge the (hard to remove) batteries in my ASH-26E with a
solar panel and charger installed on/in my trailer. During a contest,
the plane may not spend much time in the trailer during daylight hours,
but it does spend most nights in there.
The solution would be to use the solar panel...

US ELT installation issues for 2006 contests - clarification?? by
Peter Deane
Hi folks,
Reading through some previous emails on this leaves
me a little confused;
Here's what I *think* I understand;
1 Experimental gliders; ELT does not need to be TSO'd,
owner install OK but need A&P signoff (minor modification,
not maintenance)

IBOT T-Shirts by
[email protected]
Several years ago I purchased several IBOT (International Brotherhood
of Tow Pilots) T-Shirts from a booth at the SSA Convention. I have not
seen the shirts at the last 2 or 3 conventions. Anyone have a lead on
where to purchase--or who to contact?
Thanks & Happy New Year--

Handicap bargains by
Ian Cant
I notice that a Schweizer 2-32 with a published L/D
of 33 is handicapped at 1.500. This seems like a great
bargain, the same as a Falke SF-25C at 1.500 but with
only about 22 L/D. Are there other equally great deals
out there ? Or any outstandingly heavily handicapped
types ?

Ray Lovinggood
This is a repeat, sort of.
For a nice glider with decent handicap of 1.019 (in
America), check out the LS1-c for sale. It is listed
on Tim Mara's web page at:

At the asking price of US $12,900, you can get a lot
of bang for the buck.
