I am going to be using 3M perfect it followed by WX Block/Seal. Just wondering when in the process i should apply the new gap seals? I think i read that the seals/tape does not stick too well to freshly WX block/sealed surfaces. Should i put them on now and then mask them off, and then do the whole...

Not knowing any better, I used Aeroshell 4 when I bled and topped up the hydraulic brake system in my Discus 2b. Initially it got the sponginess out of the brake. After working on it some more about a week later, I found it impossible to bleed the system further ( I thought I might still have a...

I have a Portable PowerFLARM, and it creates IGC flight log files with the right dates (from the GPS data), but files that it writes to the SD card are all dated 1/1/2010. Has an internal battery for the real-time date died, or does it not have one?

I have Flarm Core with Flarm View and would like to learn how to Electronically Declare a flight, Can I do that,if so how? I use a Oudie but it's not connected to Flarm. Thanks Glen

I just picked up a bucket had that pretty much every glider pilot wears, but I don’t want to wear is because I feel like it limits visibility way more than my baseball cap does. With the baseball cap basically visibility is only limited when looking up, but with the bucket had visibility is...

We have cats and just got a new type of litter for them called SoPhresh Gel Lock. This stuff would be great in a zip lock pee bag! Super absorbent and turns into a gel immediately. I have not tried it in flight yet, but once i saw how this stuff worked i knew it would be great to put in some pee...

I've been trying to get on the XCSoar website for a while this afternoon. It times out without loading anything. Could someone else try it and see if they can get it to load? https://xcsoar.org Thanks, Mike

Is anyone else having problems getting GPS reception with the Nano4? I’ve tried everything I can think of...returned it to the factory, left it on to an open sky for long periods of time, multiple reboots, upgraded software. Still, more often than not “BAD/0�. Quite frustrating! Lars T

I bought both from WW and i am wondering if i should apply both? or is that just overkill? I the description of the 3M stuff it says you can follow up with WX block/seal. Just not sure if i should apply the 3M stuff and then apply thw WX. Now that i really think about it it kind of seems like i...

Currently operating 3 tow planes, all with Schweizer hooks installed. I would love to get access to some concrete information on the issues with the Schweizer hooks, comparison between the two, and any concerns with the TOST system. My goal is to likely switch over the fleet, having personally...

I seem to have little difficulty connecting and detaching the sleeved connectors for the ailerons and right spoiler. Left spoiler sleeve is a PIA. After connecting, I notice that the locking sleeves have some fractional , minute, wobble except the left spoiler. I have owned this ship for a year...

I know its a snowballs chance in hell, but I'd be doing myself a disservice by not at least asking. Does anyone have a damaged cobra trailer with a good usuable tongue laying around? Bryce 480-760-5610

I was wondering if my flight recorder was effected by the GPS recent outage so I plugged it in and noticed that it took a long time for the light to start blinking. Now its a very thick cloudy day today but it concerned me. What are the indicators of date problems with the GPS issues. I do plug the...

I have an HP IPAQ 310 that I run X-C Soar on, that won't turn on. :-( I left it in my bag for a few months and didn't use it, and wouldn't be surprised if the battery ran down. Before that period, it worked fine and was not in a condition to suffer physical damage. When I plug it in, the amber...

Dear Dr Panigrahi, Kindly **** off and die. Slowly and painfully, or quick and dirty, we really don't care. Just do it. We have enough on you to put you into an asylum for the rest of your days.
