I'm confused about the RS232 feature with my PowerFlarm core. The manual decribes the interface as RS232 but doesn't mention the voltage levels. Is it the voltage levels called out in the standard (-3 to -15, +3 to +15) or are these digital voltage levels (0, 5) with the RS232 protocol? I see...

Anyone know where I may purchase 50 mm ball for hitch? Have ALKO stabilizer for trailer, which needs a 50 mm ball.

For year, I used to use mirrorglaze for my canopy, almost every preflight. Then it disappeared from local plastics supply. Bought some online a year or two ago, used with good results. Yesterday, I squirted some on the PIK canopy and immediately started polishing. To my dismay some patches seemed...

Anyone have any experience connecting a power flarm to a dell streak via an ioio adaptor? Mine works for a while, then disconnects. Any help appreciated!

I have a Schempp-Hirth Oxygen mount that appears to use an "M" size cylinder. 5.25 inches in diameter. Question: Steel or Aluminum? The front bracket that holds the cylinder neck, appears that it might fit steel cylinders only because of neck length, as it appears that aluminum cylinders have...

Hi All on this side of the Atlantic. I tend to monitor the classified ads on segelflug.de, but the volume of items for sale seems to be less than it was a few years ago. For example I only think I've seen a single Discus bT, and no D2cT for sale since autumn 2014. Have people in Europe found...

ADS-B, Spot, etc. Which ones are recreational and which (if any) live tracking devices are used for OLC contests etc? Are people using loggers and then uploading the info for the contests or are they using...

Hi, I searched but didn't see any recommendations on the best settings for a GoPro mounted inside on the side of the canopy. I have a swivel mount that rotates 270. What suggestions does everyone have... I know I've watched some excellent video from lots of you, and Bruno and Balleka... Thanks...

Tucson soaring club is hosting an informal OLC challenge over the next week with the goal of setting some personal and perhaps state distance and speed records. We're also trying to outfly our neighboring clubs (that means you Moriarty!) Sunday 24th promises to be an outstanding soaring day in...

Has anyone tried the k6 team Bluetooth adapter on a Cambridge 302, with an android device? I'm currently running xc soar on a pocket pic with a serial connection. It works great but one of these days the ol' pocket pic is going to die and I'd like to switch to something else before it does. A...

Lets say you are deploying a retractible gear glider in a club with members who some might suspect of landing the thing gear-up someday. (Of course, you private owners never land gear-up...) Is there a way to minimize the damage when the inevitable day arrives? Maybe. One of my favorite...
