Martin Gregorie
A long while back somebody (Ian Molesworth?) mentioned "lashing a
Camelbak under the beam supporting the stick" in a Standard Libelle.
With the season visible on the horizon I'm wondering how he did that.

Puchacz reviews by
cuflyer
Hello All,
I am looking for real world reviews of the Puchacz (or the newer Perkoz)

How do they hold up to daily use/abuse?
Maintenance issues?
How are they for ab-initio?
Truth to the spin-eager rep?
Any bad habits?

Birds in the hangar by
Ben Coleman
Our club is discussing what we can do to deter birds from perching in our hangar and messing up our aircraft. Can anyone recommend a technique? Are there any methods which have not worked?
The birds are small, probably swallows.
Thanks Ben
