I am the owner of Pilatus B4AF D-3993 with serial 310, and have the papers to prove it. I was informed that someone from the UK is claiming to sell this glider. He wants a split payment. He used the picture of this B4, which I took and uploaded to Wikipedia. He claims the glider is stationed at...

Gapa Geezer has been outed! by Tony[_5_]
Uh oh! The Gapa Geezer hasn't done a very good job of controlling his alter-ego. Gotta be careful what you say to the guy who runs the club website. Nice work on the GAPA trailer though, I'm glad that you think you'll fly far enough to need it! :D http://www.soaravenal.com/Intro.html

Region V So Contest, USA by Hartley Falbaum[_2_]
We have a large number of entries now, but only two Standard Class! We would like to have a Standard Class, but if we can't, we'll have a combined/handicapped class. So--all you Standard Class pilots "on the fence", c'mon out!

Crunch(es) Alert (USA)... by BobW
The soaring season is working its way north; a quick skim of the FAA Prelims (4/14/12 AM) after several days of absence yielded 2 single-seat notices entered 4/13/12. Thankfully, apparently no fatalities. Assuming 100% entry accuracy (major assumption), this one *may* eventually make the NTSB...

Newbie S-NAV question by dbrunone
So I bought a glider with an S-NAV&GPS-NAV not long ago, and I don't really know how to use either. However, when I start up the S-NAV, the unit thinks I am at 28300ft, when actual elevation is 434ft. Obviously, it won't let me adjust the altimeter enough to get the right elevation. On the startup...

Tips for gluing new foam into wing dolly by Whiskey Delta
The foam inside my wing dolly has completely worn out and needs replacement. I have the replacement foam and have removed all the old foam and contact cement. The trick will be getting the new felt glued into position. With contact cement, as soon as the two parts touch, they are bonded. Anyone...

Scammers on the glider market by Roel Baardman
I was notified recently that someone claims to be the rightful owner of my glider (registration and serial number match) and wants to sell it. He states it is located on an airfield where I flew a few years ago, but not anymore. My question: what to do? - Contact the police? - Post messages on...
