Two questions: 1. As I load my car for a trip to the airfield for one day of flying, I wonder how the families loaded up for a week or two of competition, back in the day when families went to the competition. From the book about Dick Schreder, written by his daughter (an EXCELLENT book, by the...

I'm a little baffled at the huge difference between my GPS altitude and the pressure altitude when I get up high. Yesterday on the ground, I showed around 10 feet difference between the GPS altitude and the pressure altitude. Up around 17000 feet, the GPS indicates over 1000' higher. I also noted...

I have noticed several older sailplanes with some play in the wings. They don't seem to pull into the fuselage and have a few thousandths play so that the wings move fore and aft, slightly. Can this be shimmed? I know from working on L-33's that they come from the factory with shims. Is this an...

I am looking for a brass tail wheel to shift the CG of my PIK-20B back. I have seen the web sites of DG and AMS and they mention this type of wheel but cite no source. Is there a source for such a wheel in Canada or the USA? If not, where can I get one?

Check out his tract on the OLC....the Whites must have been ripping!!

Hi all, I'm looking to purchase a logger for personal use and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations? It won't be fitted to any single glider (I fly club gliders mainly), so being a self contained unit (inc. power) is essential. For me the things I care about a *IGC approval (I...

I would like to fly more cross country flights but have to admit I usually come up with a list of excuses for not going on any particular day. The weather is never good enough, or I have a dinner engagement, or my battery seems low, or something. Some of this is a general concern about personal...
