Mike N.
I am thinking about doing a refinish on my Ventus C.
I am wondering if wing templates are available?
Also I'd like to cut down some of the cost by doing most of the grunt work myself. Under the watchful eye and coaching of a knowledable refinisher.
Is there anyone I can go to who would could...

Mid Week Towing Availability by
Roy B.
With the contest season a bust this year I am thinking about taking the glider on a road trip to someplace in the US where I can fly for a week or more. So - can we please start a string here about tow operations where tows (or even winch/auto launches) are available mid week, or 6-7 days per week?...

solo 2350 owners by
Toby Wright[_2_]
A long time back, I helped set up an email discussion group to let mini
nimbus owners exchange experiences and knowledge, which seemed to

been operating happily for...

Glider Insurance? by
Graham Drinkell[_2_]
Why have the costs risen so high? I was a loyal customer for over 10
years to a particular insurance company, whom informed me I was not
allowed to allow young pilots to fly my glider.
They have now declined me from their insurance cover.
I have tried another broker, but their charges are...

Condor 2 by

I bought Condor 2 and intended to run 3 monitors because it's how I've run sims with other well known programs with zero issues. The computer it's on is not one purchased at a retail store front outlet. It was purpose built and flew/flies X-plane just dandy with no problems whatsoever. Two bridged...

Scoring when abandoning a contest turnpoint by
[email protected]
Hey all. I somehow got the idea that there was strategy involved to maximize score on contest flights where one decides not to continue to a turnpoint. But I don't see anything in the rules other than incomplete tasks essentially being scored as a landout.
Am I missing something?
Good to make it...

LS6 canopy gas spring by
Richard Livingston
We (3 owners) have an LS6 with a "tired" gas spring that lifts the canopy. A simple google search and visits to Wings and Wheels does not turn up a source or specifications for this spring. Does anyone know a replacement part number, or specifications, or a source for a replacement gas spring?
