Group, Anyone ever import a glider from Europe? Care to share your experiences or difficulties? There seem to be quite a few "deals" over yonder and wondered if it would be worth the hassle/cost/red tape/etc. Gus

I am currently flying with a Cambridge GPS NAV and a L-Nav. I would like to up grade or add equipment to help me fly the Turn Area Task. What works well and what are the important features that can aid in making correct decisions while flying the Turn Area Task? Bill Snead 6W

Has any one heard of using a Champs, Cubs, Luscombs or Cessna 120/140 for tow operations for antique gliders like a franklin. I am in search of a tow plane that can fly at 50 miles per hour or less.

I am in the market for a nice Discus CS. If you are thinking of selling, please contact me.

Further to Craig Freeman's post of July 28, photos of our new winch are available at our club web site at http://www.permiansoaring.us/ The winch was conceived and built by Craig in about three months of spare time work, which is surely remarkable. Even more remarkable, Craig also wears additional...

Hello All, I am looking to hook my Ipaq up to my Cambridge Gps Nav model 10 (v5.5palm-nav ready). Would anyone have the Data Port DB9 pinout. I would like to use the data port as it has a +5v out on it. Thanks, Terry

Hi, So, which is the best GPS unit to buy for eventual use in a sailplane? Thanks, Tom (remove all the numbers in the addess REPLY won't work)

I just received a copy of the FAA publication titled "Glider Flying Handbook" - publication number FAA-H-8083-13. Updated in 2003. Appears to have some very current photographs and illustrations, but I haven't read it yet. I'm surprised to see things such as the Cambridge flight computer described...

In article , says... I'm doing some research on the ASW-20 "A" model to see it it's a good fit for a 250hr glider pilot wanting to expand his experience in cross country (I've read Dick Johnson's report on it). I've heard...

the guys running hang gliding contests are debating their task completion rates. it looks like 1/3 of pure flex wing entrants make goal, while 2/3 of rigid wing entrants make goal. sometimes they have the same tasks, sometimes the rigid wing tasks are a little longer. sometimes they start at the...

Yes, approximately one and a half years ago FAA personnel from the Dulles FSDO visited our Club operation at Front Royal, VA. Two of our members and their privately owned sailpalnes were ramp checked. The inspection was very cordial and we encountered no particular difficulties. In addition to...
