The Dead Simple Human Powered Airplane (DaSH PA or "DaSH") project is using FlightGear to help train the "DaSH pilots" with a DaSH model constructed by Marshall Gusman. Download "dash_v1" model from:

I have three requests:
(a) get feedback on the model (does it work for you? What needs cleanup? I just discovered http://wiki.flightgear.org/Modelling_guidelines)
(b) Instructions on how to contribute and maintain this model to/in the FGFS repository. http://wiki.flightgear.org/Portal:Developer/Aircraft didn't help me and neither did searching the forum. "Howto:Understand_the_FlightGear_development_process" is getting closer but still doesn't give me a recipe to follow (where to post, where to store, etc).
(c) Where is the preferred place to host "3rd party" aircraft if getting this into the main repository isn't feasible?
I've set up an Asus Chromebox ($180) running Ubuntu 14.04 linux and a Logitech Extreme 3d-pro as control device. I was able to follow instructions to install dg101g sailplane and additional terrain (that was easy!).
