Hi, I have recently upgraded to a Win7 64 bit laptop, and I'm having some trouble with Dale Kramer's wonderful BMapper program. When I try to download Dr.. Jack data for a site, I get a few of the data points, and then BMapper crashes with a 'Run-time error 75 - Path/file access error" Has...

Any DISCUS B owners out there ever replace the 200N gas spring that lifts the instrument panel? Mine died years ago. I'm close with a replacement from Industrial Gas Springs (IGS) but the measurements on the end fittings (eyelets) don't quite work. Any input would be appreciated. Mike

Purchased some black "felt" at the local fabric store in preparation to felt my glare shield. Once I got the stuff outside the store in the sunlight, there appeared to be some sparkly polyester sheen to it. Any recommendations on type of fabric to kill glare? Jordan ASW20 E

Hi, Talking to owners of these. Would you buy one again? What one do you own? Pictures? Problems in getting from the factory? Thanks -- ----------------------------------------------- http://www.sgi-extremelinux.com

AOPA sends me Flight Training magazine every month and they discuss 'power off stall recovery' on page 42 of the current issue. As a power-off-at-all-times pilot, I don't get it. I assume that the purpose of practicing power-off stalls is to practice for the scenario that the engine quits...

Wondering if anyone else has dealt with this recently (trying to save an hour of Googling). My new ASG-29 shipped from the factory with a built in Transponder Antenna. Schleicher was on the ball, and used a low-loss 7mm Aircell coaxial cable. It comes un-terminated. The transponder requires...

Hi, I am a very new ASW-20 user (first flight yesterday) I am looking for any advice for the glider such as: Speeds to cruise/climb, Water; does it fly well? How does it change speed range especially in the climb, Read a few things about thermalling in neutral flap rather than +1, any...

Apart from buying a new set, any ideas on suitable products which may help to re-waterproof slightly tired fabric type covers

Hi, I am looking for any advice as to which had a higher performance out of these two gliders. I realise it will be pretty similar as they have the same handicap, but anything you can tell me such as: Strong vs weak conditions? How well does each carry water? Anything else you can offer. I...

Hello, Anyone have a good set of points to indoctrinate an SN10B on the ways of a LAK-12? I cannot quite get the numbers I need from the LAK owner's manual, and the polar is not included in the canned bunch that comes with the ILEC. Nimbus II is close, I suppose, but I'd like to get it...
