Grounded Pegasi: 2BA and 1LV
Both 2BA and 1LV will have exceeded their 25 hour limits for compliance with the rudder pedal AD. New rudder pedals are on their way from France right now. At the end of this week 2BA and 1LV will go in their trailers to be transported wherever the rudder pedal replacement will occur. We will try to get them back on line as soon as possible. Parts for 9JH are also on their way, so that it will soon be back in service as well.
For the time being, that will leave us with only 36L flyable at Hollister and only 1CH and the 1-34 available at Truckee. We will work to get the Pegasi back on line as soon as possible.

As of Sunday, August 28th both 2BA and 1LV are at Williams Soaring Center for replacement of the rudder pedals. All parts, paperwork, logbooks, etc. necessary for the repairs have been located and are with the gliders. We are hoping the work will be completed and the gliders will be back on line in Truckee in a week (possibly 2 weeks depending on Rex’s schedule.)
We will need some BASA memers to volunteer to tow the gliders back up to Truckee from Williams once the work has been completed.
