One of the many questions that most of us purist ask examines the phycological and psychical differences in individuals that fly Motorgliders vs purist. I do think that the motorglider fliers should certainly be considered for a much different score system compared to the true real purist. So,...

I bought my second Std. Libelle, s/n 593 so it is a balasted ship ex-factory. A 201B. It has waterbags, the dumplever but no valve in the wheel well and no holes in the bulkhead behind the seat and the wheel well. Not a trace of it... It has seen extensive damage the two years after it was...

Your book is all wrong, Ryan. Admiral Halsey made a huge mistake. R

I would like to thank everyone who made suggestions regarding the difficulty in both raising and lowering the gear on my Ventus C. Turns out the culprit was the castle nut on the axel was way too tight. I loosened it to only hand tight and installed a new pip pin (sp?) Works like it was designed to...

Hi All, Is there a way to have TFRs display in Google Earth? Thank you.

Yes I know they’re problematic. Just returned our PA 25-235 from its annual, where one of ours was rebuilt (locked solid) and both serviced. Like I assume many of yours are, our Pawnee has no hopper and will never see gross weight again. So should the air side of the struts still be 575psi per...

Anyone have a solution as to why my gear is so VERY difficult to retract / extend on my Ventus c? It's the very last 10% trying to get the lever into the indent that's the problem.

As suggested long ago, Schweizer towhooks may be difficult to operate in the event of a kiting incident, and are much safer if installed upside down. I have found a copy of an FAA approval (form 337) for doing this on a Pawnee. If anyone still wishes to do this modification, having this prior 337...

Does anyone know of any Clubs/Commercial operations around the Lisbon area? Thanks, Bob

All, I'm in the process of rebuilding a Standard Libelle instrument panel. I would like to use my CNC router to cut the holes but to do that I need accurate data to put in the CAD program. If anyone has either an accurate digital file (DXF or SVG) that would be marvelous! Other files type can...

I am doing an Annual on one that sat for over a year. It needs one new head. After a little research it appears the engine is based on the VW T3/T25 Transporter engine. This head appears to be the correct one- https://www.autohausaz.com/pn/071101351AC Can anyone with experience confirm it? Thanks!

So, it is raining outside and I haven't been soaring in a long time, so naturally I am thinking about soaring next season.... I'll bet I am not the only one. The big plan is a soaring safari to the Western US next season. I may be able to take as long as 2+ months. I am looking for ideas for...

I recently got a PIK-20B with a soaring buddy and we are looking for a replacement L'Hotellier fitting for the elevator connection... the existing one has quite a bit of corrosion. It seems like Eiriavion Oy is still the holder of the type certificate, but I have been unable to find their contact...

Pilots have come for far away to participate in the 2021 Soaring Safari sponsored by the TCSC in Vero Beach, Florida. The event is still gong on and just today more glider pilots have arrived. After each daily conclusion of glider activity the cookout begins with the BBQ grill serving up dishes...
