So has anyone got a design for a Roeger hook in a Cirrus? I'm guessing that a simple piece of tube that could be fixed in some way at the top back of the...
Soaring Society of America Members; I just read a message fromo the SSA chairmen that should concern every glider pilot in the United State. It was dated...
Hi Daren, i dont think a Std. Cirrus need a Roeger hook. Emergency exit should work like: open the canopy lock (left lever), then open the canopy itself BUT...
Sure would be interesting to do a wind tunnel test to see if, and under what circumstances, the canopy would actually brake away. Is there any information...
Hi, I'd like to contact the guys who show off their OMRG on the StdC website. And, anyone else who has made OMRG that works. Could you contact me please? I'm...
Tony, One of the self assembly dollies (OMRG) shown on the Standard Cirrus site was built by me and I can answer any questions regarding the task. Building a...
Hi Tom, Thanks for the reply. Do you have any clearer pictures you could send me? Rgds, TonyL #214 CQY Tom Shipp <tshipp225168MI@...> wrote: Tony, One...
Dear all, does anyone have experienced the "sealing blades" mounted at the end of the ailerons? Do they work properly? Does someone have the eletronic drawings...
Hi Davide, on the aileron i think they can help, but on the rudder not: The lift the rudder produces is most time very low - so you cannot save much drag there...
Do you mean the quadrants that stop air escaping around the end of the ailerons when deflected? If so they were fitted to a Standard Cirrus 75 that I once had...
For this SH has the following AD: TM278-29. In effect a Nimbus tailplane (stab + elevator) replaces the all flying tail. The early Nimbusses had the same all...

There is a new progress report on Dr. Sinha's web site. It was originally posted on 9/27; however, today I took more data that essentially replicated that of...
The tail wheel on my Std Cirrus has come off. The black rubber tail wheel holder has come unglued from the tail. I was thinking of cleaning it up and using...
Albert, I've had them fall off using the recommended transfer tape. Contact cement seems to work well. Also, you might tape the edges to keep grass and weeds...
Two thoughts: 1/ It's supposed to come off to save snapping your fuselage in half WHEN you ground loop it. 2/ Some recommend taping it on as well as gluing so...
Hello Albert, this year I made a tail-wind outlanding that almost ended into a complete ground loop. The tail skid (with the tiny wheel in it) came off. I ...

I have a complete cover for my cirrus from www.jaxida.dk. It is VERY nice. They may sell only the wing covers. Use the link above and check them out. Albert ...
