Here at our field we have an ASW27 with a badly damaged fuselage, anyone know where a whole fuse or parts of one are available ,even an ASW 28 one would do as they are virtually identical. gary

Due to weather conditions beyond our control that have not permitted soaring here in PA for the last three days we have started a new competition, ping pong. John Good is in a commanding lead by over 1000 points followed by the Pakistanie Adnan who is close behind. The Polish guy, Rashad, from New...

I enjoyed 3 afternoons soaring with Burt Compton last weekend. I usually fly in Indiana. The trip is worth the travel. Unusual scenery. Remarkable soaring conditions. Burt and Kathie were wonderful hosts. The flying tips and safety pointers coming from the back seat are very helpful. The best part...

Region 5 Sports completed 4 out of 5 days of soaring with only one landout. Check out the pictures on our website. Join the fun!!! www.region5sports.com Sam Giltner.

Yesterday afternoon Mark Mocho (MM Fabrication) opened the canopy of his Pegasus to get his cell phone. By the time he made a call to me, his soaring hat, which was lying atop the glare shield, was smoking. The canopy was acting like a big magnifying glass and focusing the sun's rays onto a...

The Pakistanie took a commanding lead today in Ping Pong by defeating everyone he played, he is well ahead in the contest, maybe another contest tomorrow of a different type, hopefully he does as well there also Jeff

Those of us who have actually heard Bob Carlton's jet-powered Silent in the air can tell you that once it is off the ground and more than a few hundred feet away that it is a lot quieter than conventional motor gliders such as the DG 400 or 800.When being run up on the ground and up close it...

Attention Southeastern US glider pilots (and all others). It's that time of the year again! After taking one year off while hosting the 18M and Open Class Nationals, the Cordele contest is ready to be flown as a Regionals again. Dates are June 21 to June 26. Informal flying will be possible...

Can anyone provide pictures/diagrams of their arrangement of a PDA mount in a PIK20B (the cockpit layout of the 'D is different, that's why I specifically ask about the 'B. I am still wrestling with the best mounting position - given the large arc that the stick can move in getting a position which...

Anyone needs a glider transported I am still available for certain dates, let me know. 505 980 5377 Jeff

No facts, just an ego. Dig in google, the final straw of the down and drowning. Just admit it, tommy boy, you shot off your overstuffed ego and oversized mouth, and my foot is in it. I even made sure that you were insinuating what I thought you were, and you swallowed the hook, line and sinker. ...

I am looking for any suggestions on a good type of mirror for our club's towplanes wing. I have a mount in place to accept a stud. We have tried the 5 inch flat mirror, field of view too narrow. We have tried a blind spot mirror, image at glider distance too small. Any help would be...

Can someone tell me if all members of the EU have been issued new pilot license certificates? For those that have US certificates based on previous (old) licesnes, the US certificate will no longer be valid. The worse news is that the new procedure from the FAA is more complex than simply going...

Is there a Commercial Pilots License-Glider in EU ? I looked around in the CAA, JAA and EASA websites, but could't really find this information. In some coutries a CFIG (Instructor's) license gives you the right to work and get paid as an instructor, even though you may not have a...

There's a good discussion of this subject in the current issue of "Flying" magazine written by the editor-in-chief, Richard L. Collins. This monthly is of course chiefly aimed at General Aviation (read power) pilots but there are several points Collins makes that could profitably be extracted for...

PW-6U Demo ship, C-FFYC, will be at Harris Hill during the WSPA Seminar, June 7-10. Then it will be flown in the Sports Class Nationals at Ionia, MI, from June 13th to 24th.

I know a lot of you are subscribed to our newsletter service and will find this a duplication, but the Taurus by Pipistrel has taken to the air for the first time in the past week. Please follow this link for details and pictures........

Interested in info on TE probe locations, type of probes etc for install on a SGS 2-33. Probe location seems problematic on a 2-33. Would a diaphragm be a better choice? TIA

So, I'm packing up the glider trailer and Grand Cherokee for a trip that will end at the Alamogordo Soaring Fiesta on the 29th. The space is very limited and I can't quite figure out how all the stuff is going to fit. Then something catches my eye. The spare wheel for the Komet trailer and the...

snip The big problem is your canopy wasn't sanded enough before it was glued on last snip Before you attack the canopy with grit.. check this DG link http://212.8.200.175/~techdg/tn/service-infos/2003-52-e.pdf
