I had good luck by just cleaning both surfaces, squeezing out a 1/8" layer of RTV on the rubber block, putting in place carefully, then duct-taping in place with multiple layers as tight as I could get it. I let it set under mild temperatures for several days, then removed tape, trimmed off...

A very Happy Easter to all in the gliding community, including your family members. And may these feasts mark a beginning (North) or a continuation (South) of a wonderful soaring season with many hours of awesome flights with soft, smooth landings bringing smile on your faces! Tom

I have not been very happy with the timers I have seen for sale, and am wondering what features racers are looking for in a semi-simple timer. I would like the following: Dual display that always shows the time of day in smaller numbers, and then in larger numbers shows a count down timer Three...

Hi, does anyone know what kind of hub the Pik20d trailer has, as we need to replace a spring and a few other parts for the auto reversing mechanise? Thanks Siggi

Hey everyone I would like to have some opinions on buying a first glider between these two. There are a couple of both for sale that I've seen and my budget would be 10-20k euros. Would you say the performance difference justifies the price difference? How would they compare at higher speeds and...

There was quite a thread storm 11 months ago here about the TT21 transponder. I assume some of the 'early adopters' here purchased and installed one. Any complaints??

Hey everyone, I'm a young pilot aspiring regular 300-400km flights. Currently I have done a few XC flights in an SZD 51-1 Junior at 100-200km already but I'm limited by club members who want to fly as well. I've been looking at a few gliders and read a lot of reviews but still would like some more...

Is there someone that can send me a scan/foto of TM 653-82/1 ? Arbeitsanweisung für den Einbau von Avionik-Geräten", TM 653-82/1 thanks, Bert

Sweet! However, it doesn't even look like a Diana; they should have retired the name it and started anew. The fuse looks a Discus or something. Pretty bland in that regard. Function over form I know, but the original Diana cockpit seemed like something out of the future...

New web layout for OLC, at least on my phone. I liked the old layout, but I balk at change.. Boggs

For anyone looking for a place to have your chute repacked, may I reccomend Clay Bonavito ( ) from Bay Area skydiving. Based out of Byron Airport in CA, he was able to turn mine around in 2-3 days for about $88. I have used him several times now with excellent results. ...

When researching a step up to LiFePO4, I stumbled across this tidbit at http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_at_high_and_low_temperatures "Many battery users are unaware that consumer-grade lithium-ion batteries cannot be charged below 0°C (32°F). Although the pack appears to be...

It is Spring again, and if you haven't done so in awhile it would be a great time to update the airspace and airport databases in your glide computer, PNA, handheld GPS, or desktop planning software in preparation for the upcoming US season. The FAA data for the charting cycle effective March 1,...

Looks like it has an FES nose cone with the prop blades not installed.

I received a request today from someone working to get an SGS 1-26 as an available glider in Condor. He wrote: === I have been doing the modelling of a 1-26 on behalf of someone that wants to see this glider being offered as a plane pack from Condor. I have submitted the model to Chris...
