Quick question -- for a mechanical vario (such as Winter), do most people hook up the static port to the TE probe, or the static line? It seems the TE probe would naturally compensate the vario for stick movements, but is there a disadvantage?

Need fittings for a 201b. Have an extra main wheel if interested. Jim

Does anyone have a soft copy of the Technical Service Manual for a Junior that they could send to me? Our club can't locate one and we need the procedure for the weight and balance. Specifically, we need to know how high to raise the tail when weighing the glider. Thanks! --Jonathan

March and early April have produced some good thermal and ridge days, and glider pilots in Region 2 have taken full advantage. Of particular note are three flights around the course in 1-26s. 18 year old Daniel Sazhin currently has the overall lead on the South course with two completions, while...

I'd like to reach 'son of flubber' , how do you do that?

Anyone engineered a good in-panel installation of their portable P- Flarm unit? Trying to get mine off the glare shield (see YO hall of shame) of my a- model Schempp, and would like to use the unit's internal GPS antenna if possible. Have seen a bracket commercially available, but it's aluminum...

Hello, I find it impossible to run the Flarm update software (flarmtools v5.xx) on any Win8 machine, even in XP compatibility mode. The faulty item is that, in the COM port selection box, nothing appears. Thus the program can't communicate with the flarm unit, and it freezes. I tried also with an...

I wish to put some padding inside my trailer to prevent any rash when loading/unloading - I have some old computer-packaging foam I've been using but wondering if there is a best type of foam to use (closed cell, etc.) that I should consider? thanks, John

Word has gotten out that the SSA is going to launch a new racing class in 2014. The plan is for the class to begin in Regional Competition in 2014, and become a National Class in 2015. Due to the demise of the World Class, and the apparent popularity of the “Low Performance” contest, the Rules...

I thought I was aware of all the changes being made for 2013 but one slipped past me. I just realized that the rules now say that any logger that makes a Blue V on the OLC is acceptable for regional contest. Awesome!

We need a bluetooth (or wired) stick controller interface for XC Soar. Similar to the common ones. Would not be a huge effort........ Anybody working on this? Anyone build one themselves? Sean F2
