Hi Ron, Mike, and all.
I have to agree with Ron that some of the best
times are had when pilots get together. I had not flown HLG
competitively since Dave Thornburg's HLG contest at SULA, in LA, however I have
been an advid follower of the designs while having a family. Last

Dick,
Where are you getting 100 ft rolls of glass? What does a roll run in $$?
Thanks,

Rather simply actually. After creating an area for the wiper to reside
within the TE of the main wing, bend the control surface open so as to
apply a strip of electrical tape in such a manner so as it is positioned
to actually act as a wiper.
In other words, lay a portion of the tape on the contr

I don't know about you guys but my RCSE hasn't been working right lately!

Hey now,
As yet I've never entered a contest, of course I've only been
flying gliders for about 14 months now and have about 500 hours in the

javelin launch hurts too much the next day. I don't have the latest and

Quit whining and learn to build your own toys. As a downsized, early

I have two thirds of a Mirage wing. A tree came up
and bit the center panel. Toast. Does anyone know of
a good wing repairman in the Bay Area. Barring that,
do you need tips, fuse, or tail which are in perfect

sell.

Some people wanted additional info. the radio was a JR 8103, and the fuse
carrier is located by removing the frequency module. The fuse is just
inside and to the bottom after removing the module.
The second most popular repair reference was Kraft Midwest (advertised in
RCReport).

This happened to my 8103.
I, at first, scoffed at this idea, since I went in and checked the fuse a
number of times. The fuse was good, and it snapped into place nicely each
