The 'Glider Down' article in this month's soaring magazine was great. I hope that the new editor Eric Bick makes this sort of article routine.

I finally completed installation of my new CNv XC vario and am having problems with the gear/spoiler warning logic. In my installation, while sitting on the trailer, opening the spoiler causes the Spoiler warning to flash and sound off. This happens without respect to the gear position or...

I found them amongst my son's belongings. He had obviously ordered them for a girl's gift. He died in a glider related accident 10 years ago. He was flying the tow plane. They have pierced ear hooks and look like a rather generic glider to me. I can send a photo. I'd like $25 plus USPS postage...

In our club a discussion is ongoing whether to allow cameras to be held outside the (club owned) glider (through the sliding window) with the intent to take selfies and to make videos and photos from that viewpoint. This practice is being promoted through numerous videos, some with hundreds of...

Hi folks, I'm in the process of installing new connecting rods in my Ventus B would like to know what everyone is using if any for the slide lube where those connecting rods like to ride. The material that the slide is made out of seems to be impervious to wear so that's good but the rods are...

Quick search on R.A.S. didn't turn up a prior thread, so... Is there a source where I can get NAM, GFS, RAP/RUC archived data/soundings? I want to go back and look at the model sounding for a flight from a few years back. Thanks to all you weather geeks. Erik Mann (P3)

The Schleicher web site indicates a transponder antenna should be installed in the landing gear bay. Of course it is in German, but even with Google translate it does not seem to indicate how to snake the antenna cable form the transponder behind the instrument panel to the landing gear bay. Does...

The UK ATC authority, NATS, has implemented a trial with AOPA UK to test a low cost ADS-B out capability. Basically, they are allowing non-certified GPS to interface with the Mode S 1090ES which gives ADS-B out. Some people have (illegally) tested this with their Trig and other transponders in...
