Just saw this advert in Barnstormers.com The nicest gliderport in the USA in my opinion. The swimming pool makes it so. http://www.floridaairparkhomes.com/property-for-sale.html Rich Owen: Please reply if anything about the advert is not true.

Hi - A friend of mine had his quite-sweet LS4 damaged in a tornado last September in Minnesota (no mud slides or earthquakes for us, no sireee). He is looking for a quality repair. The damage is non-structural. Anyone have a strong recommendation? He has seen the ads in the back of soaring but...

We just noticed some play on our club L-23. It was detected in the stick while on tow with a forward CG. Does anyone have experience with a horizontal stab being loose on an L-23? The elevator auto-hookups have large pins, but it seems like there's no way to really tighten...

The rudder on my D2b has become very stiff on its hinges during this season.. I disconnected the cables at the rudder horn, and it's clear the problem is in the rudder not elsewhere in the control circuit. Removed mylar seals without effect. No visible damage to the rudder, and no foreign objects...

Long time ago I landed glider with broken rudder. Rudder cable broke during stopping spin rotation in aerobatic flight on 3000 feet, decided not to bail out to see if flying and landing is possible and to save the glider. Flying with "hardover rudder" (full deflection) was interesting experience....

I've been approached by an estate of a former club member who's glider is stored at my club. Its a 1978 PIK20-D. They have gone through his entire belongings and have not found any logbooks for the glider. Our club records indicate the glider has not flown since 2003. Its been at the club since...

Over twenty glider pilots had an amazing week in Logan, Utah mid-August 2019 and the world should know how great Logan is to come fly. Logan is a magical, technical mountain soaring site that allows pilots to fly all over northern Utah and far into both Idaho and Wyoming as well. I figure you...

I have a new gas spring from the factory for my LS8 canopy. Install looks fairly straight forward, but you never know... Has anyone replaced one of these recently? Are there any helpful hits? Or gotchas to avoid? I believe it’s the same for LS4 and LS6, so any insights on those should...

The link below is to an EASA document on the subject of many different allowable modifications to gliders. It spells out the legal procedures and methods to be used. You may find it handy to save a copy. https://www.easa.europa.eu/sites/default/files/dfu/CS-STAN%20Issue%203.pdf

I recently have been given access to a friends Libelle model A. I think the Serial number is #83, Unfortunately, the POH is lost. Could anyone send me a copy or e-file of this document? Thank You Dennis

I love my ASW-20C but one thing is missing. A baby soft fuzzy headreast to lean into against those full-rack black-out pull ups, and barf your guts red-out push overs. I need one of those soft lams wool pillows attached to a decent frame to configure the perfect head rest. Does anyone has a...

I have a radio that needs a wiring harness, Becker AR3201 can anyone help. Thanks, Bob
