Issue 8, 9, 10 & 11 changes:- 1. PZL Bielsko Bulletin BE-043/92, (wear limits for pushrods)   This bulletin is now attached. 2. Figure 9, description corrected to read “Elevator” instead of “Rudder”. 3. Defects, Item 2. Added warning about the release button. . There was a special article in Gliding Australia Magazine issue 51, May 2020, as many incidents have occurred of late which could have led to fatalities and major accidents. This is not a bad coupling but it has to be used properly. 1. PZL Bielsko Bulletin BK-10/80 describes the optional installation of removable ballast blocks under the instrument panel on SZD-48-1 Jantar Standard 2's. Kits of parts are available through the Australian Agent. 2.  PZL Bielsko Bulletin BK-048/96 describes the optional installation of factory winglets on SZD-48, SZD-48-1 and SZD-48-3 Jantar Standard sailplanes. Copies of the service bulletin may be obtained from the GFA Secretariat. Parts may be obtained from the manufacturer. Experience has shown that the locking washer on the connecting pin in the elevator and/or aileron connectors may work loose allowing the control to be connected incorrectly as shown in fig. 1. Should the locking washer be loose then the defect must be rectified before next flight. The defect may be rectified by either replacing the washer with a new part (the best option) or by cold forming the washer until the hole is between 5.980 and 5.990 mm diameter. Issue 11 adds information on 2 recent defects.
