Ventus cM turbulators by
Bert Willing[_2_]
I need to replace my zig-zags on the horizontal stabilizer, but I would need
to know the required position cordwise (upper and lower surface). I took it
off and cleaned before having a look at the maintainace manual - which does
not give any info on the topic... :-( Any ideas ?

motorglider engine test by
[email protected]
I need to do a short test run on my ventus 2cxm engine. The fuselage is on its cobra dolley in my garage, and I can wheel it into my driveway and tie the tail to a post. I'm nervous about this, in case there is some pitfall I haven't considered. Has anyone done an engine test run like this?

Bungee Material for Landing Gear and Engine Bay Doors by

I am looking for a source for bungee material for my landing gear and engine bay doors (ASH-26E). The original (German-sourced?) bungee is about 5 mm diameter and stretches to about twice the rested length. The 3/16 inch USA-sourced material I have been able to find (McMaster-Carr, etc.) doesn't...

DG 100 canopy? by
Pete[_9_]
Hi all,
I'm looking for a DG 100 canopy used or new in the USA. I thought I would try here as this Group also helped me find the glider that needs the canopy.
It's old, scratched, and poorly installed. There's a lot of excess "goop" around the frame. Seems like new one would be best. I know it may...

Glider Insurance by
LAX
Is everyone insured by Costello Insurance?
I am purchasing a glider and it comes down to this, the annual premiums I was quoted are approximately equal to the cost of the glider divided by 16. That is my annual payment. In other words, if I don’t have insurance, every 16 years I could buy a new...

iPhone X and iGlide - the verdict is in. by
waremark
As owner of an Oudie IGC (also Samsung S8, Kobo Glo HD, and LX 9000) I think brightness has ceased to be a major issue. I have never encountered any conditions in which the Oudie (pointed at me) is difficult to read. What is the relevance of looking at the instrument at an angle?

Winch Weak Link Strengths by
Kevin Neave[_2_]
Does anyone out there know how German Glider Manufacturers calculate the
max weak link strength for winching?
Presumanbly this is also related to the max winch speed
For example in the UK the max winch speed of a K13 depends on which weak
link (Brown or Black) is being used
Regards

Future of 15m by
John Foster
With the rise in popularity of 18m soaring, what do you guys think will be the future of 15m? Are there enough advantages of 15m over 18m for it to continue to have a strong place in competition? It seems most manufacturers are now making 18m sailplanes, that can be converted to 15m, but they...

Is this an exact copy of the Scheibe SF-25?
How hard is it to get Stamo engine parts in the US?
What would one go for in the US if it has been well taken care of and

Could one register it in the new sport pilot, or Light Sport Aircraft
