Hello, I have acquired a 1984 Vivat L-13 SW. Does anyone have inspection checklists in pdf for this aircraft? Thank you.

If the engine is not running a relay opens and cuts power to the nav/strob lights (and the 12v power outlet) Is there a way to bypass this so the lights can be tested on the ground without the engine running.

Can anyone send me the designs and specs? any chance they were uploaded to the library? Dave1Quovadimus@gmail.com

Jim, Just to be clear, these solid axles will have threaded ends to receive the wheel pant bolts for OEM size tires?

Can you please send me the blueprints/technical drawings of that rigging tool. I just bought a GROB G109B, without that rigging tool, so I would like to build one.

Hi Jim, Please sign me up for a set of axles as well. Thank you, Bruce

Hi all, Here you have an app to help following checklists. It is fully adaptable to any plane, but it has already included checks for SF28. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.taifun.checks You can find all details and snapshots in Google Play. Please do not hesitate to provide feedback or to ask any question you may have. I hope you find it useful. Cheers, Jorge

Helle just bought a Grob 109 new to the forum. Seeking advice on how to it to the ceiling of our hangar. Was thinking about a system gliders use. Since many TMG like Dimona, Taifun and many have similar shapes I would like to ask for Your experiances. Best regards, Martin

So awesome. Excellent.

Thank you for replying, and providing contact numbers so I can contact as look into TMGs. Sorry for the later reply. It's a sport I plan to get more into as I get closer to retirement in a few years. In meantime, doing my homework during such time and then ready when my time is mine (retired). Still researching between non-motorized gliders I can unpack at a soaring field, versus TMG. But, the ease of being able to motor at local airport and fly, and have the combined soaring experience is very attractive. I'm not purist. The drive to the soaring field/location are several hours from me. I'm guessing that will weigh in heavily, the convenience factor, as I get closer to deciding. Thanks again for the reply. I'll likely contact over next months or year as I cont. to dig it.

We are planning to hang the plane from our hangar sealing. It will be importatnt to lift at a proper position. Are there examples that work. It would be great hear from them. Thank You

Hello, as just posted I bought a Grob 109A. For this winter the plan is to install gap seals from Streifi, a polish the wings. I am shure there must be a lot other measures to improve glide ratio and speed. Do have suggestions ( Bellows on the aileron , speedbracke shafts etc.), canopy seals etc. Best regards to all Martin

Hello - just bought a Grob 109 from 1981 with a Rotax 912A3 engine. So I joined the forum

Hi all, I've created an Android app to help and make easier all checklists for our Taifun 17E. It is fully adaptable to any aircraft and I believe it is easy to use, including voice commands for hands free use. It is still in test phase so it cannot be directly accessed in Google Play, but I can add anyone interested in the test list so you can download it there. I'd just need you to share the email address you use in Android. Of course this is a personal project, so feedback is very welcomed. Cheers, Jorge

Saw a strut company on line. Probably need to take some measurements.

Sorry, but I can't find the link.
