All the articles I click on return the message; "The page cannot be found" (Yes I am an SSA member and I am logged in.)

This is not a question, just a comment about a recent experience. I have a fiberglass trailer that needed a repainting. After asking around some trailer manufacturers the general conscensus was to use a two part epoxy paint. I ended up using Benjamin Moore M36/M37 gloss white tintable...

Hi, Anyone got a glider for rent for the NSW and QLD State Comps or Nationals. 18 meter class would be great. Happy to fly a high performance two seater with anyone else at the NSW or QLD comps. Contact me via http://www.mals.net/contactus.htm

Looking for first-hand accounts of anyone towing with or towing behind a Stinson, especially with a 200+ hp Continental or Lycoming. Tow speeds? Rates of climb? Types and weights of gliders pulled? Anything else interesting or unique? We fly out of a 1900' MSL mountain field and pull heavy (1000...

Any comments pro or con about the Appleboy nose release? Reportedly there are some PIK's, ASW's, LS's and Zuni's out there with them. Had the same request on gliderforum.com for a few days. A few views, but no comments. Perhaps someone here that I haven't already had an exchange with? TIA,

We have some nice iPaq 38XX and 39XX's for sale. The 39XX has the brighter screen inside but the general consensus is that in bright (sun) light the 38XX is somewhat better. A non-glare screen protector also helps. The 3835 is US $ 300 and the 3950 is 350 Bluetooth models are $ 30.- extra. These...

I'm trying to find a good topo map printing package (like DeLorme Topo or National Geographic Topo), that also supports user-provided data via appropriately formatted data files. Any suggestions? Advance thanks, Ted/2NO Chandler, AZ

A couple of ADs are coming due on my ship, so I thought I'd try to get a bunch of other things taken care of at the same time (some minor gelcoat work, a new air strut for the canopy, new mylar seals, maybe a new seat harnes, etc.). Can anyone recommend a good facility for all this work in the MN,...

I would like to see KS fly the Duo for the first half and then switch to an ASW 15 or like sailplane for the second half. It would be an interesting way to check out the handicap system. MC

I am about to open a debate on fusing in Gliders. Which of the following fusing methods do you believe should be used and why? 1) Place one fuse at the main battery sized to protect the wire. That is if the wire "fuses" (vaporizes) at 20A then the fuse should be 20A. Therefore it takes a 20A...

Can anyone tell me how to tell Windows XP (SP2) to reassign devices to comm ports, or move assignments? I'm using LX Nav's new version of LXe (posted yesterday) and I cannot get it to open the comm port my USB-Serial adapter uses, and LXe won't let me select one ... Ted/2NO Chandler, AZ
