Anyone interested in having a Peschges VP3 system? Main box, two digital readout varios, wiring harness, speaker, original manual.

It was planned that the Club class launch first, but then on the grid it was decided that Open class should be launched first. The first take-off was only at 12.45 with their gate...

Hi, Several customers have asked me recently when the Easy System will support the units we use in the USA.

This is a repeat, sort of. For a nice glider with decent handicap of 1.019 (in America), check out the LS1-c for sale. It is listed on Tim Mara's web page at: http://www.wingsandwheels.com/wantads1.htm At the asking price of US $12,900, you can get a lot of bang for the buck.

I notice that a Schweizer 2-32 with a published L/D of 33 is handicapped at 1.500. This seems like a great bargain, the same as a Falke SF-25C at 1.500 but with only about 22 L/D. Are there other equally great deals out there ? Or any outstandingly heavily handicapped types ? Ian
