LS-4 by Waduino
We're getting totally buried in the old thread... So, as a newbie I have a few questions... There seems to be almost consensus (!!) that the LS4 is a great ship. Good performance. Very kind behaviour for low time pilots. Is someone actually producing new LS-4s? Where and what is the price? Is the...

DG service for LS gliders by James
I'm curious to know what sorts of experiences others have had in getting parts and service for their LS gliders since DG has assumed ownership. I am trying to buy an LS-3-17 from a fellow pilot at our field. The airframe has 3000 hours, and therefore requires a major inspection in accordance with...

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...

Assembly Problems by JJ Sinclair
I have always had problems in getting the first main wing pin started. Recently I did some checking and found that not all main wing pins are created equal. Some come with generous tapered ends and others come with a very sharp slope or no taper at all. My Genesis 2, for example has a 4:1 taper...

We were suffering severe thread drift, so I pulled this out of the pile... Kirk Stant wrote: I'd guess if/when you get that Antares, you'll find whatever you fly now, collecting dust. Good point (and all of this discussion is fun - "devil's advocate" stuff at times.

World Distance Award by Duane Eisenbeiss
The WDA was started in Jan, 1992. It got off to a slow start and then became rather dormant for a number of reasons. In an effort to revitalize this worthwhile cross-country soaring program an article was prepared for SOARING magazine (see Sept, 2004 issue) and the SSA has finally listed...
