I have an Oculus Rift S that I bought this summer for Condor use. Unfortunately I discovered that I suffer from acute motion sickness in VR. I understand that most people don't have this reaction, so I suppose I am just unlucky. I'd like to offer this headset up to other soaring pilots who would...

OK, idle fantasies on a winter day here - if I was to buy an ASK-21 in Australia that had never been registered there (see https://www.pickles.com.au/trucks/item/-/details/2014-Alexander-Schleicher-ASK-21-Mi-Tandem-Seat-Glider/1020118632) how painful would it be to register it in the US?

So, I am well aware of the drag chutes supplied by Walter Kostelezky, K.G. of Germany. I am aware of the rings and swivels at the connection to the aircraft, and that the aircraft end is a release somewhat resembling a Tost style release. But, I have a plane that has a different sort of interface...

I gather that FLARM is much more popular outside of the USA. Are most well equipped sailplanes installing FLARM in the USA? What about other GA aircraft in the USA? Is FLARM more common (or a necessity) at competitions in the USA? For club and casual cross-country soaring, it might be less...

In January I opened an account for FOIA requests on the NTSB website. Then, I spent two weeks working with their tech support to figure out why the logins and resets weren't working. While it was finally resolved it took several updates to their servers before it happened. So, around a month ago I...

I'm just starting out with soaring. Simple question for you guys. How many of you fly with an emergency parachute? It looks like they cost around $2000 online. Pretty steep price; although the cost is insignificant if it saves your life. Is this something I should be looking to purchase?

Anybody able to recommend a USA company that can do automated panel cutting (from CAD)? Or maybe in Canada? Fiberglass panel, typical glider panel overall size, flat surface with uniform depth flange. Thanks!

I'm looking for the flight manual for LS1, more specifically the LS1-d. All I could find was LS1-f. Could anyone provide me this manual? (German/English)

Gents Can someone supply me with a name and number of a shop that will repack my 2 National chutes that are 20 + years old. Thank in advance Nick T

Does anybody know a source for light colored 2-part polyester putty? The ones up here all have a bright colored hardener which helps on the mixing but shows through after a thin coat of white paint. I'd like something in a light grey or white color (after mixing) and preferably in a small...

Greetings, A bit of a long shot, but I am planning on rebuilding the somewhat crude, and now failing, wing wheel for a PW-5. If anyone just happened to have a wing profile template in electronic format for the area approximately at the outboard end of the aileron location, please let me know. ...

I am considering making a purchase for a AGS29 pure glider, I have somewhat a good idea as to the market value of such a ship, but your feedback would be greatly appreciated. What would you consider the market value of aa ASG29 2012 model, with a slight damage history and somewhat outdated panel...
