Grease recommendation by
Bastoune
Looking for a good grease recommendation for general use around the
glider (main pins, ball fittings, etc.). Something locally available
in the US would be preferred! Anything that I should definitely stay
away from?
Thanks,
Bastoune

New bug wiper system by
Tom Kelley
Bugs only hang out within several hundred feet of the ground. So, new
system is designed to keep them off and then if you stay high, you
need not them high cost bug wipers which might fall off and damage
your wing.
Have your crew soak a roll of toilet paper, yep, and several minutes
before you tow...

Interesting... by
RRK
Deuche Folksegel Flugzeug Gmb. proposed a very interesting and
elegant solution to the notorious problem of very slow and painfully
long self lunch of all German motor gliders. Simple electromagnetic
clutch between the motor and the glider main wheel will allow the
glider to gain the take off...

DG's latest volley by
raulb
In the latest DG newsletter:
http://www.dg-flugzeugbau.de/newsletter-138.html
As I read Dirks' comments, Weber is full of crap. I also think Weber
shot himself in the foot by publishing Dirks' comments.
As laid out by Dirks, the rules say "the latest version" of the manual
has to be used. He...

In search of drier trailers by
None[_2_]
Do you have electricity at your trailer?
There is a device called Dampp-Chaser that is used inside pianos to
keep them from soaking up humidity. It is a long rod that is heated
electrically and will elevate temperature enough to keep a piano dry
(but not too dry). Two or three of these...

Aluminum top Cobra trailers leaks - how frequent? by

A few people told me that their Cobra trailers with aluminum tops

aluminum top is nice to keep it looking good, but one of the the
purposes of a trailer is too keep the glider inside dry. In New
England we sometimes get 4 inches of...

[US] Source for plastic wheel chocks with holders? by
Papa3
One of the plastic chock holders that came with my Anschau (Komet)
trailers has fallen apart. Before I do the obvious and go to the
trailer dealer(s) for an (expensive) replacement, has anyone found a
local source for these? I'm looking for a set of light-weight

computed the CG for both the empty and 'flying' configurations, but

Belt material for take up reel? by
GARY BOGGS
I'm looking for the belt material that was used on a take up real on a
tow plane we are using. It was 3/16" round, orange, rubber like
material. We had to cut the belt to length and splice it together in
place because there is no way to get it on without taking the reel all
apart. We would melt...

In search of drier trailers by
Martin Gregorie[_5_]
I have a box trailer with an aluminium skin. It keeps the glider pretty
dry, but in condensing conditions I do sometimes notice that the glider
skin feels damp first thing in the morning. I'd really like to prevent
this if possible. The main possibilities seem to be:
- fit passive ventilators
