Hi, I have a Winter ASI, marked for my Ventus 2bx, and I'd like to get it repaired/overhauled. Anyone know where I can get this done? Do I need to contact the factory, or is there a U.S. source? Frank (TA)

I know this has been covered in the past but I need an update. A fiend is purchasing a glider that is registered experimental under Racing/Exhibition. It presently has a "letter of operation" that limits it to 300nm from the home airport. It requires "notification" to the FAA when moved out of...

For the latest parallel flight of my deturbulated Standard Cirrus vs. a modern glider, go to http://sinhatech.com/SinhaFCSD-Progress-06072008.asp#article . 20 minutes of parallel flying should be enough to make the point. Download and replay the logs in SeeYou, or what have you. Jim...

I think the ClearNav designers may have missed the mark a bit, I'm trying to figure out why they made the thing so big. In flying with a PDA I have often wanted the screen to be brighter, but never bigger; the other option I would pay for is to have the PDA controls on the stick. I fly a DG and I...

Looking like a good soaring day here today. The current hope is to have the Cherokee, Woodstock, Foka 4, and Ka-6 up today. Nothing like throwing a bunch of wood up in the air. Will report back on the no doubt epic flights that will be had.

Does anybody have any good advice on where to install an ELT in an LS6a?

Video of indoor slope soaring miniature glider: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWAR2WD-BgM&feature=related Has anyone thought about trying this with a full sized sailplane? Perhaps a Sparrowhawk and a big-rig truck? I don't see anything in the Sporting Code that would prevent someone claiming a...

Where can I found Technical Data and some pictures of this glider? Thanks George

I've heard that things are getting a tad damp around the home of Wabash Valley Glider Club at Lawrenceville Illinois. I'm hoping the hangers full of airworthy vintage sailplanes aren't flooding. News anyone? Matt Michael

Any suggestions for the repair of a 10-inch crack emanating from the aft frame member top-center along with a 4-inch crack 3 inches below and 3 1-inch cracks spaced 1 inch apart further down? Does anyone have a repair manual with instructions? thanks, Haven

UK glider pilots – please help to provide some statistical data about NOTAMs and how you obtain and use them. It is needed to support the case for improvements to the available AIS system, and/or third party software, to show graphically where things are happening. One of the 3rd party providers...

I can't seem to get the Dr. Jack RUC data using BMapper this morning. Anyone else having this problem? TIA, Frank

Back in Jan 2008 there was a thread about GPS interference testing, specifically near China Lake. The last several weeks I've experienced (near Philadelphia) a lot of "GPS Wait" messages from my Cambridge Gps- Nav. At least 3 other pilots at Philadelphia Glider Council have also reported having...
