I'm trying to use Paul Remde's very handy "Reichmann to Cambridge and SeeYou" spreadsheet to derive some usable SeeYou polar numbers for my Diana-1. But I'm having a heck of a time picking three speed/sink-rate pairs from the data set that result in Max L/D and Best Glide Speed numbers that pass...

Hi All - I'm looking for recommendations for a wing-dolly for solo assembly of the Duo Discus. The one we have has broken for the umpteenth time. I am very spoiled with the Lange unit that I always use for self-assembly of my Antares 20E. It is quick, easy, sturdy, and includes a gas- strut to...

If a PowerFlarm Core does not appear to be transmitting correctly (antennas have been checked, etc.) where can one send the unit and get support in the US? Does it need to go back to Germany? Has anyone ever sent their PowerFlarm Core in to have it checked out... Thanks

Since the 2-33, whatever it's demerits may be, will continue as a basic trainer, there is much to be said for going low tow. The student is less likely to allow the glider to get too high, and the instructor whose view is restricted downwards can see the towplane at all times. That brings...

I'm interested in doing some ridge flights in the Northeast US at various sites like Blairstown, Wurtsboro, Springfield etc... while bringing fellow club members along to share the new experiences. Can anyone point us to specific information and resources for the different sites? I've been able to...

I have it from a highly reliable source that Cebavs does not have a complete set of moulds and drawings to build an LS4 even though his ad seems to indicate otherwise. This is yet another example of him trying to rip-off someone else. I would imagine that at 31000 Euro, the return on investment...

The FM has a nice polar plot, is a digital version available anywhere? Rather surprised not to find this glider included in SeeYou's or LX's latest polar lists ...

Hello, I have the problem that my LX8000 does not start up at all. Before I contact the factory for repair is there someone with tips how to fix it? The situation. It had been working, but I left it for a while and when I came back the avionics batteries were dead (voltage too low). After...

Hi, I have a technical question. Next week at the SSA Convention many vendors (myself included) will have many soaring instrument demos on display. It would be great if they could be locked onto GPS satellites, but that is not likely inside the convention hall. I imagine the roof is made of...

Not as good as yesterday (see OLC), but we were still able to achieve 17,950' MSL. Surface winds were high, about 20 kts out of the west (down the runway), but at release altitude, the wind was only about 10 kts. I spent about 2 hours thermaling until I could locate some rotor to climb in...

The container by itself is fine provided I can transfer my existing Precision P-124 (ram-air). ted 480-296-9022 (text/vm)

http://www.wingsandwheels.com/want-ads10.htm This is a great airplane that can be used to tow, instruct, sight see, fly photo shoots, The Air Density in Telluride Colorado during the warm months goes over 12,000 and we have completed thousands of rides with this tug. Ready to go today, No...

My SZD-51-1's trailer did not come with any instructions and I'm trying to understand something basic about the (rear) end cap. It has a hinge and electrical connector at the top, leading me to believe that the intent is to lift the cap up on its hinge and prop it up somehow. There is also a...

These are a set of 1999 red Cobra fenders from a single axle trailer. They are faded in color but completely intact with intact mud flaps which are in pretty good condition. Pictures on request. $100.00 for both. I will take care of ground UPS shipping.

My friend bought the variometer and not the audio/battery box and has asked me to help him find it on the internet. Can anyone here help me with this? I have searched, but it seems the unit is old and no one is that interested in them anymore. He wants it to complete a kit he has been working on...

I really like this vario, built in the 80's yet only draws 20 ma. I don't have the right audio for it and the one I have is quite annoying. I'll pay more than it's worth for the whole set up, Pehaps someone has a box full of Ball parts they could check. I am not interested in ANY Ball 100...
