Folks, A friend of mine gave me the info for this web site yesterday as he was aware of the new pedals AD possibility. He knew I would be interested in this forum and discourse with fellow Pegasus owners. If the group decides to order AD items as a group, count me in! Steve Swann Boise ID

Here's some pictures of damage caused by dogs on Lake Elsinore Soaring Club's 233 fleet. Not a pretty sight. Anyone have any ideas on how to discourage this dog behavior. We believe they are chasing rabbits that have crawled into the gliders through the wheel wells. ...

I am about to open a debate on fusing in Gliders. Which of the following fusing methods do you believe should be used and why? 1) Place one fuse at the main battery sized to protect the wire. That is if the wire "fuses" (vaporizes) at 20A then the fuse should be 20A. Therefore it takes a 20A...

I would like to see KS fly the Duo for the first half and then switch to an ASW 15 or like sailplane for the second half. It would be an interesting way to check out the handicap system. MC

A couple of ADs are coming due on my ship, so I thought I'd try to get a bunch of other things taken care of at the same time (some minor gelcoat work, a new air strut for the canopy, new mylar seals, maybe a new seat harnes, etc.). Can anyone recommend a good facility for all this work in the MN,...

Any comments pro or con about the Appleboy nose release? Reportedly there are some PIK's, ASW's, LS's and Zuni's out there with them. Had the same request on gliderforum.com for a few days. A few views, but no comments. Perhaps someone here that I haven't already had an exchange with? TIA,
