I've just discovered the Morningstar Sunsaver 6 charge controller I've been using with my 20 watt panel is a two stage controller, and does not have a "float" stage. This appears to have damaged my batteries more in one year than several batteries I've used for 3 years or more, but were charged...

I want to be able to leave my glider assembled and tied down all summer, with Jaxida covers on it, but am concerned about how to secure it against the occasional severe winds we get at Minden. Spindelberger makes fiberglass wing cuffs that look similar to the cuff used to attach a wheel under the...

I've peered into the code, but I'm not 100% sure about this. Say I declare a straight flight to a Goal. Start point and Goal are declared. The definition of "Goal" is a "finish point specified in Declaration". Does that mean any flight beyond that point is moot? Or, is that the finish point...

Any of our British friends know if either R G Seyes or F M Gobeil are still around? 65 years ago in June, they piloted a Troop / Cargo glider from Montreal Canada to Preswick Scotland as an experiment in shipping these D-Day Silent Wings machines from the USA to UK. Apparently the 6-7 hours ( per...

Hi all, I have an application that changes it's baud rate while working from 4800 to 57600. Would it possible to find an RS232 Bluetooth Adapter that would work with such software?

In the past years I have been flying with an old Ipaq 3130 (monochrom display) with GPS_Log running on it. Now I am looking for an upgrade. As far as I know Ipaq series 36xx - 39xx have the best displays for use in a bright cockpit environment. Only catch is that these PDAs are getting somewhat...
