Sailplane wing covers by
Bob Greenblatt
We need to replace our covers for our G 103s tied down outside in north east
US. What experience have you had with purchased covers? Jaxida? Others? Has
anyone had custom ones made by a boat cover or awning maker? How long have
they lasted? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

of glider wings vs how Boeing does it. Will the 787
have spar bumps after a few years? Are the wings pulled
out of molds? Do they...
