All PNA HP31x users are potentially affected by this problem. See the "hardware" solution, very easy, detailed with pictures on www.bware.it/xcsoar at the bottom. This is not a joke, I personally experienced twice this problem, so if you own an Ipaq 310/314 be careful.. paolo

Are the wing ballast tanks of the 27B, 28, and 29, fabricated as complete assemblies separate from the wing skins, or do the wing skins form the tanks walls? Comment from anyone that has seen the wings being built, or has seen one opened after build, appreciated. thanks Andy

Holy Cow! I hadn't checked YouTube for a while. I'm amazed at the speeds they're getting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaQB16ZaNI4

I will be in Peru when you guys are toasting/remembering Charlie. How i would love to raise a glass to him! I'm sorry I won't be able to make it. I would love to hear more stories about him. I loved his book and hearing him tell his story about the rowboat. He wore his integrety like a...

Can anyone advise the availability of tows out of Ely this soaring season. In particular during the period mid to end of June. Thanks , Ron Clarke (ZA)

those of you that fly competition in Region 9, should recognize the quotes from the cadets at the end of the story (competitors we have seen and met at glider contests) and the Duo is one that is flown every year.....Good to see Capt. Sullenberger back at the academy and talking to the "future"...

Good Morning, Appreciate if people can email photos of Charlie for a dedicated SRA web page ... scanned originals are fine for the pre digital era ... include details if know .. email to kilokilo at comcast dot net ... thanks. KK

My Ilec normaly does a great job calculating the wind while ridge soaring here in Hood River, Oregon, but for the last few flights it has not been giving me the correct wind, even with lots of circling. It was off about 45 degrees all day yesterday. I rebooted it before the flight but that didn't...

I need a Tail Dolly for a PIK20E project that I am completing. Does anyone know where I might buy one i.e. wrecked glider, etc. Thanks

Sully returns to the Air Force Academy Last Wednesday, our favorite Airbus pilot visited his old school. Nice article and photos of his take off in a Duo. http://www.aero-news.net/index.cfm?ContentBlockID=dd167e5c-2640-453a-b3b8-724bc72f47f4&#d or, http://tinyurl.com/c4z5ca if the above link...

I've have a Cambridge 302 in my glider. I have the setting at 0% since I have the total energy probe fed into it, along with the pitot tube and static port. The te tube is split just behind the cockpit as recommended. The static and pitot are split or "t'd" behind the instrument panel. When I...

high winds cancelled day. Look for daily writeups on the SSA website starting later today. I am doing them and as soon as I can will post TODAY's manditory and daily pilot briefings...........trust me, as these will be good entertainment. #711.

I have a Cambridge 303 display in my glider that runs off the Cambridge 302 and also have a Ipaq PDA. So the question is this… I have my turnpoints loaded in the PDA and can view them on Glide Nav II no problem. How do I get the turnpoints to display on the 303 display? The turnpoints on the 303...

Our club has yet to try winching, though a half-dozen members have experienced it elsewhere sometime across the last fifty years. Reading Piggot, I discover the command "All Out" for the beginning of the launch. Is this the customary command in other places besides England? Why this? What does...

Hi all, a new experimental version of XCSoar for PDA/PNA and PC is available for free at www.bware.it/xcsoar . This version installs on the SD card, and requires no activesync or anything else: all configuration files resides on the external memory. Thus it survives resets, and it will always...
