While going through the garage, I found an old Private Pilot magazine (1976, I believe) with a short news item and pic of the SoaringStar. The photo was of a mock-up. I don't believe that the des...

Any old gomer can get dragged into the wave out here and do their diamond height. The tow pilot will even drag you into wave and tell you when to get off.

This tends to be largely a US stigma, and there are clear examples why. In terms of glider damage there are craftsmen and there are repairmen and it pays to know the difference. I haven't shopped...
