AMS-Flight - Unethical and Unprofessional Business Practices by
VH_VH
This story has taken another interesting twist. I received an e-mail from Ales in response to a message I sent to him via segelflug.de where he has posted an ad selling off his assets for the LS4, LS4A, and LS4B.

Among the many long flights at Ridge Soaring Gliderport yesterday, was
a 595 km flight flown by 85 year old Bob Harvey in his LS-4. Bob also
did very well at this year's Seniors contest at Seminole Lake

dg300 elan questions by
Christian de Vet
Hi All
I currently fly a DG300 elan, built in '84, without winglets (s/n
3Exx)
According to wikipedia the elan-built has winglets and a different
airfoil (vs the original dg300). I can imagine back in the days the
winglets were an option, but I'd like to figure out if the ship I fly
has the new...

JS
A while ago there was a thread on "what book would be best for a
young student?" The response: "the one their instructor recommends"
