Re: Info on kit sailplanes

I highly recommend the new magazine 'KITPLANES.' The coverage is not restricted
to any particular category of aircraft and the technical discussion regarding
construction techniques on various craft could make a big difference in your
choice of kit.  The format is most typically a review of one or two 
aircraft kits per month with construction overviews, a flight test and examples
of completed kits with the comments of those who completed them regarding what
they would do differently if given the chance.

They also do reviews of such mundane things as NavComs on the market and
other helpful electrical hints. My impression is that electrons  
create great anxiety in the homebuilt world.

The magazine is put out by the same publishers as PRIVATE PILOT so you
could probably find an ad with the subscription form. I think it is 
something like $ 26/yr for the introductory offer. It could more than pay
for itself.

BTW, the June issue just arrived with a review of the 'Sillouette' aircraft
which has a set of wingtip extensions which makes it into a 28:1 motorglider.
