Finally did it. Rolled up the rim on my 1992 Cobra when the tire failed catastrophically on the way home from New Castle today. I know some have installed aftermarket wheels on their Cobras. Anyone have the specs for interchange?: bolt circle/pilot diameter/offset. These are the 13" rims installed...

Christopher McDonnell posted this on Aus-Soaring. A 4-minute promotional video on YouTube for the Peugeot 3008, auto towing a Junior. Interesting to see the second comment: "I WANT ONE!! The glider not the car." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boqxZ3BOzlY

Is there a term for the difference between the angle of incidence of the wing and the angle of incidence of the tailplane? I have heard/read decalage used this way; however, wikipedia says decalage means the difference between the angles of incidence between the two wings of a bi-plane. (Thinking...

Anybody got a Cessna 185 with a Tost hook installation? Is it STC'd or field approved? TIA, Jim

Hello folks, it's annual time and we plan to give our LS1-f a bit of a buff and polish. A product called NuFinish was recommended, however a quick Google search finds that it contains silicon and I understand that this is not a good thing should any future repairs be required. Is this correct, or...

Here in Hood River, Oregon, USA, we usually have lots of wind and sometimes when I view the flights on SeeYou, it shows the wind very accurately and sometimes it doesn't. It doesn't seem to matter if there is a lot of circling on the flight or not. Sometimes when I first look at the flight it...

One minute of LATITUDE is approximately a nautical mile. Use your fingers as a crude caliper to measure distances on the chart. Double the distance and multiply by 100 for 30:1 Triple the distance for 20:1 I'd set my GPS for STATUTE miles then use the above math while flying the club's ASK-21...

Would anyone know the force of each lift strut on a clamshell type trailer. Mine are on a Costabel and need replacement and the markings have long since vanished. Dino

Anyone have any photos of this motorglider? Thaks, Dan WO

I'd like to check out the white pine county airports myself, but how do you say them? ely is E-LEE or E-LIE ? and hiko is HEE-KO or HIGH-KO ?

Our local CAP squadron who has a very nice L-23, often seems more about rules, restrictions and talking than flying. Canadian Air Cadets produce a LOT of quqlified young pilots and share it with the public as...

I am writing this to ask experienced soaring pilots to correct me where you have acquired different wisdom, or your local conditions are different, or where you have something more to add. I hope this turns into a thread on "How I keep going" - there must be scores of pilots more excellent than I...

Hey there! I just joined this group and wanted to let everyone know. Rc-gliders are my hobby and now I'd like to know how to get started with real planes and flying.

I found that there is a club operating nearby and they will show me some planes and how things work. Sadly I can't get flying becouse season is almost over here. Weather is freezing alredy...

I would like to try XCSoar but am having trouble installing the program on my iPaq 4705. When I go to the XCSoar site on my PC and follow the instructions to download the latest version (5.2.4) I am directed to a site with .cab files. No .exe files. After downloading what appears to be the...

Folks: Many pilots have Spot tracking systems. There has been conversation about the awkward access to pilot's flight tracks, antenna sensitivity to placement/orintation, drop outs in tracks. If you would like to see a more mature system, with public display, real time access, user selection of...

This is going to be fun! We have recruited two of the most winch qualified instructors from as far south as Florida to as far north as Vermont! Yep, Jim Gager from Florida and Rick Sheppe from Vermont have graciously agreed to join Bermuda High for a week of winching! Frank Reid as the resident...

I was purusing the SSA website this evening and ran across a link to the Barron Hilton cup. Is this biennial contest still active? The last entry for any winners is in 2005. Just curious. --Michael
