Original post by Sky Sharkster in Dec 2007. (Dave here, there are far too many links to test here, I'm sure some will work and some will not. PM me with the ones that don't and I will remove them)
LINKS! Sailplane, Hotliner, Slope, Pylon, HLG, Thermal Duration
Since we've added the "High Performance" category to the "Sailplane" Forum, I thought it might be a good idea to provide as many links to the various distributors as possible. Here's a few;
