I am still looking for Peschges VP9 manual in English. I would highly appreciate if somebody could help.

All: I need a photo of a tight, well-populated gaggle to use on a poster for the Glider Pilot Self-Assessment Project at the convention. It would need to make a reasonable 8x10. Of course I've left it to the last minute .... Can anyone help? Thanks,

Does anyone know if there is a glider community in China? With the exchange rate of the Euro, I wonder if a proven design could be produced in China. Even if ships were hand produced the labor rate would be very low.

These particular categories are not a part of Section 3. A quick check of the SSA website doesn't bring up a link...

Hi Stewart, The Ventus CM introduced in 1989 used a carbon fuselage with a carbon / kevlar fabric in the bottom of the seat area only. The carbon fuselage was to save weight for the motorglider, but the kevlar was for crash protection. The kevlar / carbon layer is visible on the inside, so I assume
