Yep, but I'll repeat a message I sent to this list several months ago. I transitioned from HG's (Hang IV, a tad over 100 hours) to sailplanes a number of...
I fly all types (HII not many hours, Glider not many hours, three axis aircraft many hours) and at least once each time I fly hanggliders I will pull in when I...
Transitioning from HG to PG, I had a similar experience. In HG, you pull to speed up. In PG, you pull to slow down. I think the key when switching aircraft...
I had the chance sit in the back seat and fly a Dragonfly tug down at Quest and get a quick lesson. After a left turn I lost it when the plane emmediately...

Hi Dean Thanks for the info. Your thoughts sparked some thoughts of my own. The way I would use that product in building a glider would be to join graphalite...
Good concept! You could also bundle graphalite rods with a sleeve. Another thought came through, too. There is no reason for the mandrel around which the...
How about making the spars using these socks? I wonder how a 2" graphite tube made from these socks would compare to a 2" .049 aluminum tube. Ken ... sleeve. ...
... - I'm playing with a tapered, leading edge shaped, carbon rod weave spar covered with the socks - perfect timing for the website link, thanks. Kinda like...
Gary, I get the picture (I think) of how this spar looks. Check out Monospar, an English aircraft maker that used a single spar composed of a similar unit,...
If you check the Aerosleeves data, they would be lighter, but not necessarily as stiff (I'll have to do some more checking on that). Usually, for the same...
I should have noted that this was the General Aircraft Monospar. There were several models and most seem to have been twin engined, using little 85 and 90...

Excellent links! The Piuma, particularly, must take infinite patience. The details of a couple of the formers is pretty astonishing. Dean Sigler Scott...

Big hello to list, Three questions :) How many BUG/GOAT airchairs is _flying_? I didn't found any @google except Mike's.. Anyone from Europe building GOAT/BUG?...
Welcome Vladislav.... check my site at http://www.techwiz.ca/~peterl/builders.html there are a number of BUG and GOAT builders around. There are at least 3 -4...
... Yes, I saw this builder list, but these people (except MS) are _builders_, do you know how many _fly_ BUG/GOATs. ... Interesting, do you know them (some...
Check with Hendrik Maroske in Germany. His email is on my list. I know he completed a BUG, don't know if he flew it yet or not. He is also building a GOAT. ...
