I know its a bit early but next winter (in the UK) I'm going to de-shrink and profile my wings. To save me going throught the whole template process myself, has anyone got a set of templates (even leading edge only) or files (computer, not rough bits of metal) that could be used for...

What companies are you guys recommending for canopy covers? I am in the market for one for my Discus. I was going to use Ridge Sewing but their web page says they are not taking any orders. Thanks Brian

I survived an unexpected twisting of my ASH-25 wing a few years back. The situation was as follows; speed 145 knots, altitude 50 feet (finish line). After receiving my "Good Finish JJ", I initiated a climbing left turn to exchange speed for altitude, about 30 degrees nose up and banked 45 degrees...

I am looking for a supplier of aluminum extrusion or channel in the US that would be suitable for making a ramp for a 15M ship. Any suggestions? Thanks, Tim

Dear Soaring world, I need, fairly urgently, the connector on the wing centre section which attaches the ailerons: it's flat plate with a threaded rod at one end and two self-aligning bearings. If anyone has any Pirat bits, or has a smashed Pirat, or knows anyone in either of these categories,...

Hey Gary, now that's the way to extend your flight time.....and be comfortable! Five hours was my limit in my old Sensor 510 with a Bennet pod (I am dating myself here...:o) Of course I did not drink anything either. This was back in the days of B.C. (Before Camelbacks) Blue skies!

I've had to replace a balky Compaq Aero 1520, running Glide Navigator II with an Ipaq. I was worried about the readability of the color screen vs. the gray scale of the Aero. The newer Ipaq is a 3955. I decided to go for an Ipaq rather than another Aero, like a 1550, because: 1. The Ipaq was...

I have a VP-3, firmware version 45.1P, installed in my HP-14. My library contains two different VP-3 manuals. One manual is obviously for a later model then mine; however, the earlier manual may also be more modern than my VP-3. Both manuals have a series performance item which are entered in...

Hi guys, I have been thinking about starting to fly gliders (I have previously flown R/C and Paragliders). I am based in the Southern London suburbs, Kenley is only about 15 mins from me, but they do not fly over the weekends from what I can tell, so for a person who works Mon-Fri this makes it...

I removed a Blumenauer Vario from my plane (Ventus C). I was wondering if anybody knows where I can get this unit checked. I am not putting it back on my plane, but I could keep it as a spare. I'll appreciate your input... please write to kols4(at)hotmail(dot)com. Best regards Enrique KO

This draws the site viewer into the site and also allows members to access their necessary information easily. All forms, tests and...

We are looking for a good 2-33, preferably in the midwest. If you know of one, please contact me. Thanks! Kurt Strong

Surprisingly no one has posted this before now. There is a high plateau just north of the airport. A basalt cliff drops several hundred feet to the valley (and airport) below. Most soaring is done on the plateau. There is a temptation to try to squirt over the rim if you get low, even though there...

I am working towards my Glider Pilots Licence and am spending a lot of time on the internet trying to find a suitable glider to see if I can afford to purchase. I am looking for a self launching aerobatic glider. The thing is that it I have not seen any costs being posted on any of the sites that...

I have a request from anyone that has their hands on either a Wilga 200 or plans for one. I have a chance to use one and need to mount some camera equipment in it. I am trying to get the door and some inside dimensions. Any help would be hugely appreciated. Please email me...

Any 'haze dome' experts out there? Last weekend we had two blue days and having read Bob Wander's "The Art of Thermaling .. Made Easy" in which he states that haze domes can be seen from the ground, I spent a lot of my time both on the ground and in flight looking for them. No doubt conditions...
