SGS 2-32 canopy? by
Gary Boggs
I sent a check to Wings and Wheels months ago for a new 2-32 canopy and I'm
still waiting. He says the factory is getting him one but so far nothing.
Does anybody else have one or know how I can get one?

Turb tape Grob 104 by
Dave Kuchenbecker
I have heard that putting turb tape on the TOP of the wing on the G
104 wing will improve performance. I have heard of putting it on the
bottom but not on top. I would like to give it a try but am uncertain
where to place the tape. It is the Eppler 662 airfoil.
thanks

Polars and G-forces by
Ken Kochanski
As we all know, adding ballast to a glider shifts the polar, allowing
higher speeds at better L/D ratios.
What happens when we are pulling, say 1.5 gees, as we thermal. Does
our L/D and sink rate reflect the 1 gee weight ... or the 1.5 gee
'force'.
