I'm looking at some of the polar files WinPilot uses and I'm curious about the speed points that are selected to be the three ones in the file. Assuming sink rate data are available for many different speeds (see any of DJ's flight tests), is there a method to picking the best three to go in a...

Skylark North in Tehachapi CA USA needs a new full time Tow Pilot as the ever-present and highly reliable Ken wants to retire (again). Fly Pawnee's exclusively. Good Equipment and facilities. A CFIG and mountain flying experience would be useful. This is a beautiful place to live and...

Here. I'll do you one more favor then you are on your own. www.keyhole.com Now, gliderfolk, you are going to have to PAY. That's right. You can use it for a week for free but then you have to decide between that new baseball cap with the propellor on top, a pocket pen protector or keyhole. If...

anyone have the pin-out diagram for the connector?

Hi all, A while ago I posted a message that an application was on its way that would allow one to use a Mac to read and program the Volkslogger. Now it is actually ready! After a month of testing by people from all over the world, we finally decided that the time had come to release the 1.0...

Question to all of the 2-33 'connoiseurs' in the US: I checked the brakes of both club 2-33. Although the linings look good, I cannot get any decent brake action. I also noticed that the brake lever on the wheel and the cable are almost in a straight line before the linings contact the drum. So,...

In Arizona we land on runways with lots of rocks. Rocks probably help to create some of our awesome conditions but they really do a spanking on the gelcoat. My LS-8 has a fiberglass tail fairing....compound curves and part of the tail overall. The rocks are thrown into it from the front and...

I'm sorry to say that another Estonian glider pilot passed away on April 16-th after spinning to earth on final because making a downwind turn at 100ft while trying to eliminate excess heght. Glider involved was Cobra-15 (rented from our club). It particularly hurts us because there's so few of us...

Electronics guru's, Can I use 1 speaker for both by radio (Becker 3201) and vario (LX160). Both call for a 4ohm speaker. Would connecting both to one speaker still work ? Would it be too quiet ? Any chance for damage to the radio or vario ? Thanks
