In response to a request for a wiring diagram for a cable for the LXNAV V7 to the Oudie to build cables that connect to my panel (pass through connector on the panel), I got a very poor response and no help (see below) from LXNAV. I have never seen a supplier in the soaring field in twenty-five...

Ladies & Gents, Can anyone recommend a trusted aviation mechanic in southern Ohio (Dayton area) to conduct a pre-purchase inspection of a glider? Many thanks. Casey.

Anderson power poles do show an alternative.. soldering... for the connection pins if you don't have the special (expensive) crimping tool. I have used both soldering and crimping with great results. Just about everything I own has a power pole connection, glider battery, motorcycles, electric...

I'm considering relocating my 0.45L capacity flask (for the vario) from behind the instrument panel to elsewhere in the cockpit.

Looking for a used 121 Mhz ELT in good working condition! Dan Mockler

I live in upstate NY and it gets quite cold here during the winter. In the winter I have always stored my ASW-27 glider in my house and the trailer in an unheated hanger. My trailer is a cobra with a fiberglass top. Am I doing it any harm storing it in the unheated hanger? Would it do any...

I'm buying a glider and the seller wants to declare the price paid as "$1000 and other good and valuable consideration". The actual sale price is $28,000. The seller wants to do this because when he bought the glider years ago he used the "$1000 and other good and valuable consideration" phrase...

Is it possible to remove an Ad placed on Soaring Cafe? My Discus 2a was sold several months ago. I can no longer log into remove it. I have sent 4-5 emails listed as contacts and administrator of the site without success. I am guessing that someone's span filter is blocking all my attempts to...

As I understand it, a 'regatta start' is where the start line opens at a specific time and pilots are effectively penalised for starting before or after this instant. If this interpretation is right, what methods are used by pilots to estimate their arrival time, and what maneuvers are used to...

My PIK-20 trailer jockey wheel needs replacement but cannot find any commercially available units which will fit. The shaft size needs to be 40mm to fit the built-in clamp system. I do not want to install a side mount clamped to the side as it will induce too much twist into the frame. Any working...

How do you "split" NEMA out data? Can it be split more than once without degrading the signal? What "electronics" are required to do this? Example: take GPS from PowerFLARM to PNA and ACK E-04 ELT. Ben
