Is there a 3-circuit socket which is more easily serviced when the total pressure (pitot) O-ring fails? Jim

I would like to review the several ways that a handoff of control can go awry. Here's my best botched handoff, so far (knock on wood). I was flying with an instructor in the backseat. A very strong quartering crosswind had blown up while we were in the air. Last flight of the day, so I was...

Morning ... anybody have contact information for a UK pilot named Brendan Chaplin (or perhaps Chapman) ... who flew out of Blairstown NJ (USA) ~25 years ago ... thanks ... KK

Speaking at Nerd Nite here in Toronto March 21, I speak often for work, this nite, I get to speak about my passion, soaring - we will look an actual flights as three friends circumnavigate Lake Simcoe, without burning a drop of fuel. https://toronto.nerdnite.com/ Hope you can join us :-D

We want to hang up our ASK13 in our hanger. Our ASK13 has a nose wheel and glass fuselage modification, that is why a rope or a band/strap hang is not possible. We know there are 2 holes on the outside of the fuselage around the mid section of the cockpit. Maybe this can be an option for...

I am seeking information on installing a glider tow hitch on Piper Cherokee Aircraft. Anyone have experience, pictures or paper work? Thanks Bill Snead

So I have been getting to know Ryan. I first showed up at the local gliderport in the early to mid-nineties, having recently turned thirty, less than a decade before. Ryan was the mechanic who toiled under an old oak tree to a keep fleet of tow planes and Schweizer gliders in the air. His tool...

If you have an old Garmin recreational receiver just lying around, like an eTrex or a GPS 76, you may be interested to know that (with some effort) it is totally possible to load an up-to-date airspace map and airport/waypoint list on it. These can make great back-up navigators in case you lose...

What is the initial new length of the tow ropes that you use? Assuming that you cut off the worn portion near the ring and gradually shorten the rope, when does the rope get too short to use? How often do you measure the rope? Do you usually discard used ropes because of visible wear, reduced...

The club Grob had copious evidence of rodent infestation and we found that the CG hook opening offers a wide passage. We cut out a piece of aluminum, glued a stack of disk magnets to hold it to the tow hook inside the cage and put on a drawer pull. Also taped inside to protect the finish. Will add...

I know Sebastian Kawa and a few others never touch alcohol. Some racing pilots stay away around competitions. Others have a beer waiting on ice when they land. Is it just a high performance athlete focusing thing - or is there more to it. I did a search and couldn't fined any discussions. WH
