I have been looking at a LX4000 (with latest updates) with garmin 90 but I have no idea of its current value. I could not find any advertised on any of the usual sale sites, could someone give an estimate and or its equals from other manufacturers. gary

Lots of interest in another thread from US readers in looking for good winch sites. I thought it might be useful for those of us from countries where winching is common to give our list of essential and desirable characteristics for a good winch site. From my UK experience I'd say there are...

My club is buying a K-21 for student training and I am wondering if a tail dolly is necessary for ground handling? We plan to get the tail wheel option - not the tail skid. Does the K21 balance like the Twin Astir so it is easy to turn on the ground when towing it back to the launch point? When...

I am sure this is old news to others - but tonight was the first time I had seen the VIDEO link on the website. Some really good ones here - but I know you all have favorites that need to be added. This is the sort of thing we need to promote to our you-tube generation...

Hi all, I am looking into purchasing a Elfe S-4. Can anybody with first-hand experience comment on the flight characteristics? Are there any bad points to watch out for? Would this be a ship for a low-time pilot, who has some solo time in a Std.Astir and TwinAstir? Do S-4s have a nose hook and a...

What are people using to get in flight video? I am thinking about putting some sort of bullet camera on the Cherokee for this upcoming season. I figure if im going to land out all the time I might as well get some of it on tape so i can share with my friends :) Any sort of cheap setup that i can...

Thank you all for your quick and thoughtful responses. Every thought expressed has value. I own a good winch, but have not made even one launch with it.. I need help. Yes, the 2-33 back seat is tough compared to our DG 500. 5 hours in the DG is better than 30 mins in the 2-33. Fifteen 2-33's (if...

Where are the CFIs? Without enough good CFIs... the number of new soaring pilots will decline. A potential CFI asked me what is the first requirement to become a CFI? Perhaps I didn't think of the FARs, but my answer was; "You need a strong desire to teach". Some CFIs need to build flying time to...

Are there any official Dittel repair stations in the US?

I've reviewed the relief band in the context of my experience as a glider pilot. I'd love to hear comments from other pilots about their experiences. http://joelodom.blogspot.com/2007/12/relief-band-for-nausea-relief.html

Hi, It works like this. You spend a long time writing a learned technical, instructional, or witty piece, and then try to post it onto gliderpilot.net. The 'fun' comes from seeing whether it will be accepted, or disappear into a black hole somewhere in the electronic ether! I have learned the...

I remember seeing recommendations for digital cameras. Since I laid mine my Casio point & shoot down somewhere, I'm in the market for a new one. Thus, is there an archive of the old posts? I purchased and tried the Panasonic Lunex DMC-FZ18, but returned it because I don't like the flash...

In addition to the NDF-based airspace files that subscribers at justsoar.com will receive, turnpoint files describing airports from the current FAA NASR database will also be provided with the download. I think this feature will be pretty useful. If you provide a turnpoint file to the web page to...
