Do we have any members working at UCAR, Colorado? Dan Mockler

Could someone explain the idea, in semi layman's terms, why it's important, how it's done, what could be experienced if the balancing were out of whack, and if it is something that could be checked yourself with a procedural guide... I have a full flying elevator. I'm not experiencing any...

I have a screw jack on my 2012 cobra trailer that becomes very difficult to operate after every 2 or 3 uses in order to jack up my ASW-27B for disassembly. The glider is operated in a sandy environment and the screws become dirty quickly. Anyone have any idea about how to avoid the necessity for...

Hi, I'm worried that after sending my money to Kerry-Covers, I have asked for a conformation of the order and heard nothing, so they have my money and after 3-4 weeks no covers, has anyone else had this problem? Other members at my gliding club(UK) have recieved their covers promptly, but after...

Hi All, I'm looking at building a tripod-type stand to hang water jugs from to make filling my glider with water ballast a little bit easier. Just curious if there is anyone out there that has something similar already built. If so, I was hoping you could send me some pictures of your setup in...

Does anyone know where, other than Eastern Sailplane, one might purchase a replacement tail wheel for an ASW 20?

Does anyone have an auto tow release system to sell that I could install on my Suburban receiver hitch? I am also looking for an auto tensionmeter. I have not located any drawings or pictures except for what is in my old SSA Soaring Flight Manual. Thanks for your time! Randy Teel rgteel at mac.com

So the competition pilots like PowerFlarm and the glitches are being worked out. The second wave of deployment will come at clubs and glider ports that have a lot of gliders in the pattern and close by terrain features that concentrate traffic. What about the rest of us? The third wave? I fly...
