Hi Gang, It looks like I nmay have to be in the Ontario CA area between 5/9 and 5/13 and was wondering how close this area is to some of the slope sites such as Parker, Cajon, Vincent, etc. I would probably have time on Saturday and Sunday to fly. Any help on this would be greatly

Erik, You already have one of the best adjustable tow hooks you can buy but with your current installation you are not realize its potential. Now here is how to do it so it will be adjustable. First off you will need to pop out the current block and make sure that it is sanded to the contour

Regis, Go out and find some DAP One Step Spackle. It is every bit as light as the Hobbico stuff and will get twice as much spackle for about half the cost of the Hobbico. Youknow you have the right stuff in your hand when you pick up the container cause it will feel like nothing is in it.

Stefan, Most chutes have shroud lines that run from the bottom ring that attaches to the tow line to the top ring tht attaches to the glider. This facilitates two things, one it allows the pull of the tow line to hold the chute closed while launching and it also keeps the cloth of the chute

John, Of the three you have listed I would go with the Sharon, but since you allowed for picking my own choice as well I would have to vote for the Jaro Muller Escape. It is more money but in this case you get what you pay for. I also have a Muller Ellipse 4 on order and may have to change

John, Don't let the nay sayers get to you, it is obvious that if they have time to do all these mathmatical calculations to contradict your actual tested data that they do not take much time to fly. I my self believe the Laser and now know I have a long ways to go on working on my launch

Tony, I have seen the Patton Spitfire fly but it did not work all that well. Now before making judgement on the plane I think it was a building problem ie incidence or something not the planes fault. Could also have been since Gordy was at the sticks. :) I have one of the P63 King Cobras
