I'm looking for any information that might help with the installation of a Discus A tilt-up panel. I have the kit in hand - with limited information - and any suggestions or help from someone who's done this would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for a pair of LS4 (not "a") ailerons in decent condition. USA preferred, but world-wide if price is right. Thanks -- Hartley Falbaum Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Would anybody have an e-mail contact for Mack? Andy

Having just read the posting by Alistair Wright I was some what alarmed by his narrow minded attitude in respect to a club that he does not appear to have flown at for thirty years. Highlighting a one off incident which involved a small number of people, and using this as a stick to beat the whole...

Borgelt B-100 for $500.00, 90% of what the SN-10 has for 20% of the cost. JJ

Looking to rent an 18m Ventus 2Cx or an ASG29 for European Gliding Championships at Issoudun, France July 27th - Aug 19, 2007. Would make my Ventus C available as an exchange if needed/interested. Please contact: Andy Smielkiewicz

Dave Nadler's Antares electric self-launch was one of the hits of the SSA convention. The fact that it was the first glider on display, nearest the door, didn't hurt either! I didn't do an in-depth look see, so my comments are first impressions only. Since I already own a Schleicher ASH26E...

Cheeky wrote: Celebrity Gossip http://celebintel.blogspot.com/ - Britney , Hillary, Ashley, Lindsay and more. Is it blogspot.com doing all the spamming, or is it the bloggers using blogspot.com? It's apparently owned by Google, which suggests it's the bloggers doing the spamming. Has anyone...

Does anyone have an e-mail address for Greg Davison, Aerospace Engineer, FAA, Small Airplane Directorate, Kansas City? Thanks, David.

As I was unable to attend, does anyone have an update on the SSA convention? How did it all go? How was attendance? How were the seminars and of course, was there any "breaking news" on new equipment, software, sailplanes, etc? Thanks - Renny Rozzoni

FAR 91.119 Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, no person may operate an aircraft................................. ..... (c)... closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle or structure. In light of the above regulation, would someone please tell me how our 50 foot finish line is...

But what about the ASG-29? Were there any parts of it that might be usable by a scrounger or for a Franken Glider? Steve

Juan Mandelbaum, Mike Newman, and I stopped to see him on the way back from Memphis. Charlie was very sorry to be unable to attend the SSA convention ! Charlie can't travel as he's on dialysis at the hospital three days a week and a bit weak, but he's in good spirits and hoping to get another...

Just FYI, USAIG has placed the Hawker 800 bizjet involved in last year's midair collision up for bid. The web page for the salvage auction contains new photos of the damage, but they don't show anything you wouldn't expect: http://www.usau.com/USAU.nsf/Doc/1998Hawker800XP,N879QS Except maybe, it...

I don't want to spend money for mobile navigation software for PDAs. Has anybody experience with free software like Cumulus or GPS Log? Which one is better? Is it difficult or rather profitable to install Linux and Cumulus on an IPAQ? Thx for any comment, Andreas

Anyone going there this easter? Never been there before, now we have a group of 3 about to travel there for a week or so. Timo

Last week I posted a message which made reference to the RAF GSA. What I had said was incorrect. In a moment of extreme anger, replying to a post by Alistair Wright, I mistakenly made the reference. In fact the GSA is a super / safe organisation, with a good fun approach to our sport. What I...

Well I totally disagree that the pilot was in anyway responsible and am disgusted by the comments on rec.aviation,(espe cially those from anonymous posters, gutless *******s) if one reads the report it is obvious that the photographer deliberately put himself in the flight path and had to jump off...
