them on the Left side.

US Dollar sinks to new low against Euro by
Mike Stringfellow
The US dollar is now valued close to 0.75 Euro, down from its peak of
1.25 a couple of years ago. Analysts say it may go even lower, with
some projecting exchange rates of 0.7 (1.4 dollar to the Euro).
This has pretty much put the kibosh on my goals of buying a new
European sailplane. A model...

First glider Nimbus 2 ? by
Surge
A Nimbus 2 is on the market which I'm interested in as my first glider and I'd like some feedback from those who've owned or flown one.
