Members of this group have provided me with lots of helpful advice & info to help me sort through the many glider types and find the right first ship for myself. Thanks for your help! I have another question. I'm a big guy and could possibly weigh as much as 250lbs dressed for cold weather flying &...

Lennie: You are right. It can get very expensive, especially if you've become a total fanatic about it like I have. It's very relaxing for me to get away from my business and go fly. I am very fortunate to be able to afford to do something that I really enjoy. GORDY

I think if you look deep enough you might find that the "head first" position is prohibited by the FAA regs. Mac

Actually, the L33 has one of the roomier cockpits around. It was a little tight for me but wasn't bad. It was a lot better than some others that I tried. Anyway, I thought I got a great deal on a virtually new glider that I could keep outside. I wanted more performance and a glider with a large...

What should the indications be with the glider on the ground and at rest ?? Is there a self test on start up...

OK, I give up. What are those two black nylon latches? at the back of a Cobra trailer? They are on the inside at the back end just below the slot that the wing dolly side support runs in. They have four detents (pointed up, pointed down, pointed forward, and pointed rearward.) I thought they...

I just finished reading the news account of the light plane pilot who buzzed the Statue of Liberty and interfered with LaGuardia traffic. In our post Sept 11 era, with enough of the public jittery about aircraft, this sort of behavior is just putting nails in our coffin IMHO. Any idea what sort of...

Is it acceptable practice to put lead in a gliders tail to counter the weight of a large pilot? David R.

Can someone provide me with advice on buying a comfortable parachute? I suffer from a long back and therefore have difficulty in getting low down in the glider. This also leads me to ask if any one has got any good advice on where to buy one? Many thanks for your time

So you see, folks, from this recent spate of posts including our infamous jerk, Lennie the Lurker, there is no justification for responding to him in any way on the NG. Please, if you wish to make the fore-doomed attempt to convert him to some sort of rationality, do so in private email. He...
