Anyone knows how this PDA/phone would be for use in teh cockpit with Winpilot or some other flight computer program?

I am deciding on a homebuilt project. I am considering a project like the classic Fournier motorgliders. I believe they are called touring motorgliders. Thr RF4 style or my favorite looking plane, the Schleicher ASK-14, is the type I'm refering to. Powered flight would be my primary purpose to...

JFK gave Barbara Pierce a lesson in life in the summer of 1944 (making her a "Cape Cod heiress"), and to her eventual husband, JFK gave a personal motive for revenge. Perhaps if George and Barb had announced their earlier engagement or even if George had given Barb a diamond instead of a cheap...

I was disappointed by Desser Tire of Memphis Tennessee last week when they sent me three 5.00-5 tubes with a valve unsuitable for my wheel (interferes with landing gear strut). They assured me this was the only available valve and would work for my sailplane. I've removed them from my list of...

How do most pilots go about the 5000 meter height gain in the Sierras? Somehow getting in a glider on a cold/windy Minden winter day does not sound like me. During the summer I stumbled across a wave condition behind Mt Rose but I was not sure about how the O2 system worked and where/whether the...

Why? What is so difficult in understanding the concept of the glider, the cost of building it,...

I have aquired an E-31 Esztergom (Rubik 254) from hungary as a restoration project. I would be interested in hearing from anyone with any knowledge of this glider. Specifically looking for pilot reports, flight manual, (or any literature) photos, specifically of the instrument panel, as our ship is...
