Wooden Sailplane durability in humid climates
Like many others, I am on the hunt for my first sailplane. One cannot
help but notice the performance value of the classic wood and wood/fabric sailplanes such as the Ka-6, and SHK-1 Austria series among others. Living in Florida where the humidity often rivals the high temperatures during much of the year, I've been warned away from these sailplanes due to the potential for deterioration of the glue joints and de-lamination. Can anyone shed any light on this subject? RR |
