New Products for Sailplanes.

I personally want to know when a new product comes out for our sport.
There are not that many new products that come out annually.
I read this forum more than any other sailplane website out there and
if I am thinking about buying a $4000.00 dollar flight computer then I
want to know if there is anything new or upcoming that's getting ready
to hit the market.

Maybe we should have a "new products" link on our newsgroup. It would
be a service to most of us and it would be beneficial to most.

I think we should vote to let Commercials on our newsgroup. If you do
not want to read the commercial... then don't. All this bickering
because someone advertised a Hot New Product seems ridicules to me.
Just my humble opinion.

OK Todd, my small brain has gone into overload. Lithium
grease, syringes, rubber tubing, panty hose and air
pumps. Is there something about gliding I am missing?
