Hi, Actually, Im trying to run WinPilot VFR but I guess the gps software will be much the same..... and as a sometime soaring pilot I hope I'll be excused for posting the question here. Anyway, Winpilot refuses to "see" my socket / emtac bluetooth gps. Which seems a little strange. My in-car...

Hi, I added a few new GPS products to my web site. http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/teletype.htm I ordered a TeleType BlueTooth GPS for testing with my iPAQ 3970 and Glide Navigator II. I'll let you know how it goes. Good Soaring,

Well done to the brits in the world gliding championships in Lezno. Currently they are Standard class 1st 15m class 2nd 18m class 2nd Open class 3rd and still a few more days to go

The manual for my 303 Mosquito is silent as to when the use of negative flaps becomes beneficial during cruise. Any pointers as to what speeds are associated with -1 and -2 flap positions? Any data on the LD benefits of negative flaps at higher speeds? I read Dick Johnson's flight eval (Aug '79)...

Hi, I am trying to locate a photo of a BAC VII glider on the internet, if you know where I can find one please let me know. Thanks Claire

Request for assistance. Can anyone help with providing a PDF of the exploded view of an ASW22 landing gear. I need a picture of all of the parts that are associated with the axel on a 22. I do not need anything with the retraction mechanism, just the parts accociated with the axel. I anticipate...

I am looking for satellite images of convective clouds on an almost real time basis. I am interested in West Texas. The best I have found so far are from NOAA. I have been looking at the GOES EAST EASTERN US VISUAL. I have not been able to zoom in. Any help would be appreciated. Bill Snead 6W

Well, it finally happened -- On June 27,2003 Mark Boyd, flying a PW-5 (of course), set five CA state soaring records. Prior to Mark's flight, all World Class CA records remained open. Thanks to Mark for making the effort to start the ball rolling. How about you other PW-5 pilots in...

It is highly likely, upon the completion of an upcoming formal safety inspection, that the local FAA will concur with the LGC Airport Authority's rule that the glider club must post an observer to visually clear the crossing runway as a requirement to operate gliders at this otherwise uncontrolled...

Someone at a UK club sent me a repair scheme to stop the front of the rudder bulging at the rib lines and therefore rubbing on the fin. I have lost the details. Please contact me again. Basil Fairston

If Blaniks benefit from a bit of flap when slow, why can't you add a detent to allow it. Seems to be as simple as a field approval in the log book. Allow deployment within the currently allowed speed range for flaps and viola, done. Scott

Hi, before I put my hand in my pocket and pay for a soaring program which I can use on my iPAQ, I'm interested in hearing what people think of free programs like XCSoar and GPS_Log or any other soaring programs which run on the iPAQ. I must confess that I also have a Palm pilot Vx and think that...

Anyone know when the next release of this product will be? Or what the plans for enhancements are? My eval license expires in Aug, and i would like to know if they plan on a new release or another beta. Excellent product! regards, mike

Will be passing through Hawaii next November, stopping for three days, and I am interested in taking a flight while there. Any recommendations where to fly? I am not looking for an 'Intro ride', but have time only for a single day.
