Clubs in Austria by Chris Gadsby
hi, is anyone aware of any gliding clubs in the Innsbruck area of Austria who might be happy to take up a visitor? I did a quick search on the internet and nothing obvious came up. On the other hand I've never been before and my geography of the area is not that good. Thanks

US Centrair Pegasus group? by jphoenix
Is there a US group/club/association, however loose, of Pegasus owners out there somewhere? Reason for asking is the FAA is considering the *possibility* of rulemaking regarding the 3000 hour life limit on the aircraft and they're requesting input from interested parties prior to the official...

Pawnee window frame by cfinn
Does anyone have a source for windows frames for a Pawnee? The hinges are a weak point. The point where the hinge is welded to the frame develops cracks. I'm sure others have had the problem. Thanks Charlie

Trailers by Don Johnstone
If you are in the UK, or I suppose even if you are not, I can recommend Shirenewton. www.shirenewton.co.uk They built a trailer for my ASW17 at a very competative price and the quality is excellent. The trailer will outlast the glider I suspect. DAJ 401
