[email protected]
OK, it's clear people aren't seeing cylinder finish dynamics very well,
except for JJ who believes the fastest distance between two points
involves sneaking up from behind. ...Smile...
The picture I've linked shows the problem. I still need someone to
explain why this is inherently safer. Note...

RHJ-8 Info? by
Scott
I'm very new to sailplanes and am interested in the RHJ-8. If I am to
even think of owning a glider, it must have 2 seats. It looks like the
RHJ-8 would be a pretty good fit. I assume that these are homebuilt
(experimental) and if so, can plans be found somewhere? Any websites
devoted to these...

Polishing & Waxing by
Go
Just bought a 'new' ship. The gel-coat needs some work. Not too bad
just a little oxidation.
So, what are people using (materials and tools) to:
Remove slight oxidation.
Polish
Wax (with UV protection)
Buff-out
When talking about buffers, is a rotary buffer the best to use?

To resolve the problems this created, we've put together a single list for
all to use. Ultimately, we hope to put it on John Liebacher's...

Flying Holiday in Europe by
Udo Rumpf
I have this notion, to fly my glider on an extended flying holiday in
Europe.
I would like to find out if it is possible to fly a registered, licensed
home built
experimental glider in Europe. Who would I have to contact in Europe to
find out?
