Good Morning All, I some general questions. I ask club members and value their answers but I like having multiple points of view for I've found that different parts of the country have somewhat different ways of doing things. 1) on older glider in wood bottom trailers, does anyone tie the boom...

I just checked two trailer vent fans and both were dead. With a little checking I found one had a dead battery and the other had a bad motor. They are both made by NICR and are day/night fans which employ a battery that charges all day, so it can run all night. Why did the battery go dead? I...

Hi, I was wondering if anybody has had experience exporting a glider out of Germany or Hungry and whether I am able to recover any VAT from the purchase price. As it stands the cost of these gliders seems to be a little high so wondered if there is something I am missing with tax recovery etc?

Anyone know how the pilots flying the Dust Devil Dash did today?

As an active radio controlled scale sailplane enthusiast, and having a special interest in tailless configurations, I am contemplating construction of a 1:3 or even 1:2 scale model of the Haig Minibat. I currently have a set of 1:4 scale plans, an advertizing brochure, and a number of other...

I'm just learning to fly and decided to start with gliders (aerotow launch). However, as I joined a club its slow to build time and get experience. I was wondering if I could accelerate that with powered flight... 1) What powered flight skills could I concentrate on that would best accelerate the...

I have an empty Discus trailer being shipped from Germany to Houston (Probably) at the end of October. Anyone out there have a glider they want to get back that would want to share shipping costs? -Mitch AAA

Parts for an experimental roadable winch for sale. Assembled winch has been shown capable of smoothly launching a Grob 103 Twin II to upwards of 250 feet before Ford ECU related issues caused engine shutdown. Subsequent changes to control system are believed to have solved problem, but logistical...

Hello: Planning a trip to Australia in March, 2016. Got permission from she who's name shall not be uttered for 3-4 days of soaring during the trip. With Sydney or Melbourne as a gateway (Yarra River Valley anyone?) I am looking for info on flying dual and possibly supervised solo in a foreign...

My inreach has been working for the past year just fine displaying my trace onto glideport.aero. I noticed about a month ago my traces are no longer showing up on there. I know my inreach is sending out tracks I can logon to the website and see them on the map. Any idea what could have caused...

Hi all, I recently purchased and SHK-1 and am looking for advice from other owners regarding refinishing. Any SHK owners out there? Thanks! Bill

Why is it that the JS-1C seem to be the open class ship? One would think the 3 choices of wing span for the EB-29 and the extra wing span would make this the best hands down open ship. I noticed that the JS-1C-18 is equal to the ASG-29-18. One would think the ASH-31 with the same outer tips as...

is it me or is it a little strange that the SSA Convention is not on the Calendar?? I need to keep going back to this post or google to get to the convention info....... odd WH1

Thinking the same thing. Hidden Valley is a few miles east of Middletown so hopefully they will be OK.

Our club (SLSA) has an ASK-21 that did not come with any front cockpit ballast weights (the lead triangles, and the 2 "bolts" that hold them in place under the pilot's knees). If anyone knows of a set lying around unused, please let me know. Thanks in advance, Kirk 66
