Meanwhile our club is still seeking a 1-26 (not 2-33) ballast box (the thing that holds the ballast brick).

Great man.

Since winter is nearly ending and I'm doing final adjustments to my glider, I was wondering. Is it interesting to wax and polish it? I've seen a set of products he https://www.theaerodyne.com/gb/care-cleaning/188-basic-kit-for-glider-care.html D-1339

Sorry, eh? I am sorry to interrupt your normally highly productive use of the internet. But your glider is at risk. It is only time separating you from the obvious damage coming to your aircraft soon. When I bought my first glass ship, the competition letters had been applied with EXTENSIVE use of...

Hi, we're starting our flights again after a summer break. If you're interested in OLC+ type flights on Condor and cooperative flying, join us at www.teamxc.us/about-us, and we can help you get started. We fly quite a few different sceneries, often with challenging conditions for realism (see...

Hi All, Trying to figure out what is wrong with my system and would like a harness to test the radio, Dittle speaker box, and Dittel mic, push to talk outside the glider. Please email me chuck at lohre dot com or call 513-260-9025. Thanks.

Hi, This is completely off-topic, but I thought there might be a chance that a glider pilot would have a connection with Beale Air Force Base in California. My father served in the U.S. Air Force in a missile silo on or near Beale in the early 1960s. We're visiting that area with him this week...

Dear Soaring Enthusiasts, Rhonda and I have been running GLIDERBOOKS now for over 12 years, and the company is healthy and continuing to grow. We are interested in taking things to the next level, by purchasing an airport and opening our own flight training school that would concentrate on...

I’m looking for a cross county glider. The Ventus C comes with 17.5 and 15 winglets. It also has factory tips. The LS6 has low hours and the wings and horizontal stab was refinished and painted. The fuselage is in good condition and original. Both have Cobra trailers and the Ventus’s...

The grip in my 1984 Ventus is worn out and a bit sticky. I have always thought it would be nice to have a wooden one, e.g.: https://www.cps-parts.com/catalog/elpages/taeakwoodgripstandard.php Anyone has tried something like that? Are they much bigger/thicker than the factory ones? BTW, which...

I noticed for the first time when flying at speeds above 200 km/h, my wingtips start to bend down a bit, has anyone ever noticed this? Glider is a DG-100.

Looking at today's forecast for Moriarty, NM, USA for 1300 local time brings up a question.Â* I've always considered the thermal height, cloud base, etc., to be MSL altitudes.Â* Indeed, looking directly at Moriarty shows 11,500' which is reasonable given the time and date. Moving a bit west,...

So, there was this auction of "seized property" about three years ago. I was thinking about going, but talked myself out of it, as I figured I would end up with 4 HP-14 projects to bring home (Sorry, I was not going to bid on the last one. Even I have limits!). Anybody know where they went? 4...

Is there anyone in the US that can blow a replacement canopy for a ASW20?

I was inspecting/adjusting my canopy this week and discovered that the canopy support tube (main shaft that connects canopy to fuselage in the nose) has a severe crack at the base. I was wondering if anyone is aware of another LAK17A (salvaged) that I might be able to find a replacement tube. I've...
