Can someone please point me to the connector pin specifications for the cannon D connectors on the 302 and the mode 25 GPS NAV. I'd like to find out if the Cannon D sub connector on the 302 has the same pin specification as the GPS NAV. I could not find the info in my manuals or on the...

Does anyone have any pictures, videos, or transcripts from the Marfa event held yesterday? Last year I wrote my Senior Honors Thesis on Marfa 69&70 using Joe Lincolns original notes courtesy of Peter Smith at the NSM. I would like to update it with material from this event and then release it...

I have a model 25, it's going to be my back up. Is there a stand alone program that will download flights from the Model 25?

Please, if you have any information on who to speak with regarding, STC infromation, drawings, parts or a complete set of hand controls (for rudder control) for a Grob 103 Twin II could you get in touch with me?

Since my post of March 27 about my flaky LNAV, I was able to purchase a used one, but it is version 4.3 software, and I only have version 5.8's manual. Does anyone have a manual for 4.3 or know how to change the configuration? If so, I need to know how to get to the configuration screen -- holding...

I am trying to replace a 14 foot length of bicycle wire that goes to my rear ballast tank. Does anyone know of a source for that length of wire? Thanks.

This weekend the Arizona Sailplaneracers Asociation (ASA) is conducting its first ever Grand Prix format racing event, and despite challenging weather for the first day, most participants gave it enthusiatic approval after the first day. With sailplanes of various performance levels participating,...

Our SDZ 50-3 "Puchacz" -- a heavy plane -- is in need of a cosmetic facelift: remove dings, refinishing, repainting. What we do not have is a trailer to take it to the shop. Does anyone in SoCal have available a trailer for a couple of weeks (compensated of course) ? Cheers, Charles

Hi All, Does anyone have or know of a Jantar Std 3 (SZD 48-3) or an SZD-59 Acro at or near Warner Springs? I want Boyd Willat to make me one of those super functional/convenient/awesome "Platinum" canopy covers (http://www.easycanopycovers.com/, ) for my ship, a 59, but he has not made one for...

At the risk of having my ignorance exposed (again), is there any way a reasonably competant (another problem in my case) can determine "optimum" flap settings for the most commonly used speeds/ configurations, without resorting to a full-blown Johnson-style test program? I have been flying my new...

Ridge Soaring Gliderport Dress Code We began the gliderport 34 years ago. During this time, we have seen a large variety of apparel worn by glider pilots and crew. Considering the value of the gliders being flown; the trailers, equipment and types of vehicles being driven, we believe it...

Has anyone fitted an EGT (exhaust gas temperature) to a Ventus 2526 01 solo engine? I'm looking for information on what to purchase and how to install it. Unfortunately the Schempp-Hirth or Solo are unable to help. This is very disappointing. DG offer an EGT option on their Solo 2625 01 engine...

Currently have a Winter Mechanical (never look at it) and a Borgelt B40 (love it) with a Volkslogger (hate it) that I don't use into an IPAQ/SeeYou that runs from a Keychain GPS (bluetooth and works great). I'm looking to upgrade and simplify and am leaning to removing the volkslogger, keeping the...

I know this a way off topic, but I have a 4705 that won't boot any more. Battery is fully charged, I've tried to 'hard reset' it, but it gets to the initial splash screen and stops. Does anyone repair these things? I'll use my 2495 if I can't get the 4705 fixed, but the 4705 display IS easier to...

As a guy who has flown thick airfoil ships and currrently owns a ship with a 17% airfoil, I am curious what kind of performance in climb I might see with a 14% airfoil section. Thanks, Brad

At the Seniors in Florida this year, I found out the hard way that WinPilot V8 AAT (Turn Area) mobile turnpoints will happily jump outside their respective area circles if you select 'Turn Here' while you are outside the active circle, EVEN IF YOU HAVE THE 'KEEP MTPS INSIDE CIRCLE' OPTION...

I am looking at a worn out mechanical jack for the ramp on a Komet trailer. The best repair I have come up with is to buy a set of scissor jacks and have them welded into the existing frame. Has anyone else tackled this job and had better luck with another type of repair? Thanks in advance, Roger
