You need to ask Dave Laintenin how to do it. He has a technique that is amazingly quick! And he has taught others, so it is not just something he can do. He...
Ryan, Have you read the Elevator page on the Std. Cirrus web site (click Issues, then Elevator)? Once you get the hang of installing the tail, it won't be a ...
First let me mention that I just sold my Std Cirrus N15WB and hope the new owner enjoys it as much as I did. I too will be signig off this group. Regarding...

Hello Ryan, #1) No one mentioned this so far; after struggling with my tailplane using the prescribed "trim forward" method, I've found mine works very easy...
Hello to all. I still have a same problem, but now I\'m equipped to fix it. I plan to put stop drills with hot needle but I need to know proposed diameter for...
Milos, Avoid wax with silicone. It works its way into the gelcoat and makes a problem for future refinishing. In fact, I would avoid all wax if the surface...
Hi All, Now that you(Bruce) mention the loose trim aspect, I've found it easier when someone moves the control stick back gently after I've connected the hook....
Yes, I am here. I just read through these posts and I would say Greg Fosters response is exactly how I do it. Dave Laitinen 7NX ... that is ... something he ...

Today I had my first two flights in my new glider, formerly owned by Jeff Melin.I was nervous. A few things were on my mind before the flight, like the...
Ryan, Welcome to the club! Dad and I just bought #206 last August. Same first flight plan - high-tow (5000'), stalls, basic operations, but we had a terrific...

In view of some recent correspondance on gliderpilot.net r.a.s., has anybody found the Standard Cirrus, or any other types with all flying tailplanes, to be...
I personally feel that the all-flying-tail-dangerous-twitchy-instantdeath theory is propogated mainly by people who have never flown one. This sort of opinion...
Moving the CG forward helps a lot. I suspect that at mid CG you would not see this effect. I had to install a nose ballast bracket to get off the aft CG. ...
I would agree with Nick. The Std Cirrus 75 which I flew was not as stable in pitch as some other glass std class ships, and that means you cannot leave the...
Biggest risk I have heard is that the all-flying tail can stall on a winch launch if you pull-back too hard, causing you to lose pitch control until you...
Actually, the biggest risk is having the stick full forward at the start of a winch launch to lift the tail quickly - as I was instructed to do on a different...
