prefab glider hangars by
Danl Johnson
At the last couple of SSA conventions there was a booth featuring
prefab glider t-hangars that sized for a 15-meter glider. I have lost
my notes, and can't locate the vendor via ads in Soaring mag or on the
web. I think the vendor was based in Hemet or nearby. Can any of you

ruediger
Since 3 month I am proud owner of a H201B with 17m wingspan and
"Speizklappen". The glider I owned for 4 years, before i bought the
Libelle was a Astir CS77. I like the handling of the Libelle very

winglets for LS-1 by
Brad
A friend of mine is considering installing winglets on his LS-1C. Has
anyone ever seen or heard of an LS-1 with winglets? Is there a
retro-fit installation for winglets available? I know that the Libelle
has a winglet kit, so perhaps the LS-1 has one too.
Cheers,
Brad

Glass, or Aluminum? by
Jim Kellett
The Battle is On!!
Yes, the perennial argument about the so-called "best glider" is about to be
resolved, once and for all!! Is it equipment, or skill? Is it nature, or
nurture? Is it the pilot, or is it the machine? Is is glass, or is it
aluminum/fabric? WATCH THIS SPACE!

LX5000 + iPAQ by
Ludovic Launer
Hello,
Looking at the LX navigation and Filser website (by the way what's the
relation between these two ?), there's one thing which isn't 100% clear to
me:
I'll soon have a LX5000 FAI, and I'd like to connect my iPAQ running
winpilot to it.
If I look at the wiring diagram, they are 2 RS232...

Magnus Effect by
COLIN LAMB
If a wing is replaced by a rotating cylinder, with the forward surface
rotating upward, lift will be produced. The local air velocity is high on
top and low on the bottom. This upward force is known as magnus effect.

A tragedy - a Minden death today! by

air. Alan Pratt who was an experienced pilot bought a Carat motor
glider about 4 months ago. This single place motor glider is one of the
most benign machines available. I flew the first in the US and gave it
a rave...
