Anyone replace the rubber bellows on a Joseph Pietz (1976 "Komet") trailer tongue? Can you direct me to a possible supplier in the US? Or what you substituted Thanks Jim

Hi Folks, My friend has a pair of Asw19 winglets for sale (Slip on). One is in perfect condition, the other has a break at the bottom, easily repairable. Since he does not own the ship anymore he has no need for them. Contact Dave for details

From looking at the sports class nationals scores, And seeing that their have been only THREE landouts in four days of a 42 glider NATIONALS, I'm thinking CD McQuigg is not pushing his troops hard enough at this huge contest.

Hi all, Does anyone know anyone who flies with a chest parachute? I'd like extra room in my Discus A, and perhaps this might be one way? Thanks alot in advance. Regards, Paul

Looking for a very small, simple, panel mount DVM. I've looked all over eBay and Amazon and haven't found anything that suits my needs. I can find plenty of LED versions, but they likely won't be satisfactory in bright sunlight, and all the LCD meters I can find are huge. Something on the...
