Source for labels for dollies etc? by
Dave Nadler
I need about a zillion different sized "YO" labels for all the dollies, tow contraptions, stands, stands for stands, rigging aids, fuel tanks, water tanks, and miscellaneous paraphernalia for the new glider. Can anybody recommend a good source of such labels?
Thanks,
See ya, Dave

Newest Sailplane in the world on display at the 2016 SSA convention by
SF
The statement that the Ventus 3 would be at the Greenville convention is completely my responsibility. At the time I made it I thought that it was true. As soon as I was made aware that it was not true, I pointed RAS readers to a list of what was actually going to be at the show, on Facebook. ...

Gap seals by
Blake Seese 3Y
Now that my radio is working again my attention is turning back towards glider performance. My PIK 20B has very close fitting ailerons, but no mylar seals on them. My question is, are gap seals required top and bottom, just bottom, just top? I think the laminar flow is off the wing by the time it...

Vaughn Simon[_2_]
History says that gliding pioneer Otto Lilienthal died after stalling
his primitive hang glider from an agl of about 50 feet. As a pilot I

Discus Rudder Pedal Adjustment by
[email protected]
Just got my Discus back from the shop and noticed the rudder pedal adjustment cable is not attached to the "adjustment mechanism" between the rudder pedals. Can anyone shed some light on how to reattach (is there a diagram somewhere)?
I think there may be a spring missing as well.
Thanks,
Jim

Radios with fixed, pre-set frequencies (Walter Dittel FSG16). Why? by
Surge
I am in possession of a Walter Dittel FSG16 and I sometimes fly club owned gliders which also carry the FSG16.
To my absolute surprise I found out after several years of using them that they only support 12 pre-selected channels/frequencies which can apparently only be set by an authorized...

Dashing Crosswind by
Papa3[_2_]
Looks like a classic (though brutally cold) ridge day shaping up in the Appalachians. As of now we've got about a half-dozen hearty souls on task from Blairstown including the usual suspects in 1-26s. At least 3 of the guys are carrying spot trackers, so check them out on the SSA Sailplane...
