New Flarm Fusion. Installed by a professional with two antennas. Box is inside my panel. I configured it using USB memory stick and that worked well. Tried to connect with my Android phone and can't see the Fusion on my WiFi or BlueTooth search pages. Why?

Has anyone experience their LXNAV V7/S7 shutting off? My LXNAV V7/S7 occasionally shuts off at the beginning of the flight. I will power it back up, and sometimes it will stay on for awhile, then it will shut off again, but only at the beginning of the flight. It is currently on it's way back to...

Looks like there's been some amazing flying at the Nationals, but not a peep that I can find anywhere in terms of reporting. I tried the usual SSA Results page, the SSA Homepage, Facebook searches, the Minden Website. Nada. P3

I noticed that SkySight has changed its Route Forecast Section and gives auto suggested routes but with different color schemes: red, green and yellow (or close enough).

My glider used to have a panel behind the spars which meant nothing could fall into the fuselage and foul the aileron & air brake connections. We have no idea when it was lost, but it's not there now. We want to make a replacement, but the easiest and IMHO best way to fix it safely is using the...
