I'm a PP-ASEL. I've been wanting to get into soaring for some time now. It appears that it will take quite a while with the local club to get an add-on complete, likely the rest of the summer. They only have one two-place glider and it's quite popular on the weekends. I'm considering doing a...

Curiously. how does a minden tube differ from a normal tube or clamshell?

I have two 6 volt and one 2 volt PowerSonic cells in series to make a 14 volt pack for one of my sailplanes. I had one of the batteries go bad, so I did a little checking to see which one. All showed appropriate charge voltage when not loaded, however, one battery went from 6.2 volts no load, to...

The 4-day contest in Hutchinson (Yoder), KS running July 4-7, and the 11-day Moriarty 13.5m Super Regional running August 20-30, are being organized specifically for gliders with a SSA handicap factor equal to or greater than 1.11. This handicap range includes all the previously established 13.5m...

Gander at the new LXNAV V80 vario http://www.lxnav.com/products/v80.html If imitation is the purest form of flattery then LXNAV is certainly paying Butterfly a complement. They are most similar in layout except the LXNAV is an 80mm instrument which I personally find odd as larger 80mm instruments...

I am selling my Ultimate Display. Speaker, cables and tracking mouse etc included. Comes with latest version of See You mobile, and Win Pilot installed. This device has never been installed in a glider, has had about 2 hours time running on my desk at home, but unfortunately due to space problems I...

Folks, Older threads seem to point to some outdated sites (or at least the server has been down for some time). Is there a definitive site to find scenery for a few select US locations (Mifflin, Uvalde, Hobbs, Chillhowee, etc)? P3 p.s. Frank Paynter, I hate you. I mean hate you with a...

I've used my Volkslogger (VL) for years. Lately, I've been unable to transfer or download IGC log files to my PC. I'm using various PC's (Desktop; notebooks, etc) to no avail. With SeeYou Connection Wizzard and Streppla, using a USB Converter (usbconveters.com - model Ut-882)and custom cables,...

I would like to use my FLARM IGC file for contests. To help the scorer, it would be nice to present a USB stick with only that day's contest file. But how can one delete all the other flight logs that end up on the USB stick, too? Raul Boerner DM

I am looking at stand alone loggers for collecting flight information, OLC, badges and possibly state record attempts. I plan on interfacing to an Oudie. Any feedback from folks that have used either the LX Nano or LX Navigation Colibri II? The Nano is a simple 'black box', ~$65 cheaper, and...

Perhaps I miss the announcement, but a new spot tracking page is available from the SSA web site http://www.ssa.org/SailplaneTracker/Default.asp It is free and already includes every spot submitted to the SSA sailplane tracker. It is very rich in functionality and very impressive. It records the...

All, I've enjoyed tinkering with html/php for quite a number of years. I've had a site related to my model railroad hobby interests for well over a decade. I recently decided to put something together as a soaring info portal. Rather than bookmarks on one computer, I can link stuff that interests...

Tracking down to 2.5 minutes. Prices for the Gen3 and is there extra cost for the better tracking? Couldn't find anything on the website. From SPOT: Having initiated over 2,300 rescues around the world, SPOT is solidifying its place as a leader in satellite communication
