Might be worth a gander, to see what they're saying.

One of the most unique tows was from the old Grand Central Air Terminal in 1940 or '41 . Don Mitchell was in a new Bowlus Baby Albatross and towed by Hollywood personalities, Edgar Burgan, Don Wilson and Andy Devine. They were on horses. Mitchell was on live radio. GA

Came across this the other day.. The wingtip belongs to an Eurotech E-310 drone. http://www.defence24.pl/media/cache/inside_article_image/uploads/images/232f9343cc38284572617537f44aae96.jpeg Looks like a mix of a standard winglet and the experimental tip on the...

Deuche Folksegel Flugzeug Gmb. proposed a very interesting and elegant solution to the notorious problem of very slow and painfully long self lunch of all German motor gliders. Simple electromagnetic clutch between the motor and the glider main wheel will allow the glider to gain the take off...

Linking a couple of recent threads: Connecting multiple varios and how to change ASI markings.... I discovered the reason for a flight computer's inconsistent readings was the bezel on the ASI not being tight enough to seal. Snugging it up resulted in a more accurate ASI and flight...

I googled a bit but came up with nothing very useful as of yet. Does anyone know of a (preferably US...) supplier of Interglas fabrics? I only need a few yards of both 92125 and 92145, for which I can find no direct alternative equivalents for. Alternatively, if anyone has some of this stuff on...

I am looking to freshen up the interior of an old Grob 102. Mainly just want to put a new coat of paint on the interior walls of the cockpit. Any recommendations for paint I should be using? I prefer to brush it on rather than spray. I saw some enamel paint at Lowes but it says "oil-based" on it. I...

Here's a debatable subject few appreciate. For the second time in five years, the I.G.C. Bureau has been unable to find a worthy recipient to be awarded the Lilienthal Medal, Gliding's highest award. The Bureau has only 90,000 pilots/officials to select a recipient from. ( ? ? ?)

Trying to figure out a semi-economical way to get a Knott axle from Germany to NE USA. Convenient, fast, very expensive way has already been identified :-). No containers carrying gliders or trailers are known to be coming in next several months, so I think that option is out. UPS appears to...
