Group, Anyone ever import a glider from Europe? Care to share your experiences or difficulties? There seem to be quite a few "deals" over yonder and wondered if it would be worth the hassle/cost/red tape/etc. Gus

I have not seen any polar for the L-13 other than the one in the factory manual POH. It does not reference the flap positions. I have flown the L-13 and the L-23 (no flap) For the L-13, the flaps do lower landing speed and the angle of the fuselage on approach which affects the AOA of the wing. I...

I have just completed a flight test of the Pioneer doing stall and spin attempts. With the stick all the way back the airspeed slows to 20 mph with about a 200 ft/min sink rate. The wing will not break nor will it go into a spin or dive. In the spin tests I brought the glider up to the 20 mph (...
