Cheapest Club (was Best Gliding Club Website) by

Komet trailer strut by
John Shelton
One of the hydraulic struts on my Komet trailer went flat (the ones that
hold the top up). In what would be a very un-gliderpilot-like act, I guess I
should replace them both. But where? Any clues?

Ronald E Baker
To all those who responded re original article I offer my apologies. There
were two articles, and to use an Aussie expression they have gone
"Walkabout" or just plain "Missing". I will still keep searching, and will
let you know if or when I find them. Sincerely, Ron Baker (Australia)

Clint
One of the Gold Fields Gliding Club members took it on himself to
re-create the club's defunct web page. I think the result is the most
comprehensive web page for any club currently on the internet. It

103 Storage by
BTIZ
inside? outside in the wind and weather?
each wing supports part of the other with the "center spar pin" that
connects to the other root, could cause some undo stress on the fuselage
where the free end of the spar might bang around in the winds..
I do know of a Grob 103 that was stored as such.....
