Hey all. Removed sight gauge/filler cap assembly from Pawnee to change fuel bladder. It has a (ground?) wire hanging off it, looks like the terminal broke off the other end. Parts catalog doesn't show this. Anyone know where that end is supposed to attach? Bolts that hold the assembly on are all...

Side sticks seem pretty popular in powered aircraft. Personally like them. In sailplanes they have the additional advantage of allowing either a smaller cockpit (less drag) or more room. Diana, HP18 and several older designs have them. Yet, they seem highly unpopular. Why would a well-designed...

Anyone know the make of the glider and who the pilot was? Dennis ...DC

Hello all, We have a municipal airport wanting our club to relocate to their airport. It is a good location and has both a paved runway and an excellent 150' wide grass runway. This location could be a good contest site and closer to the city than our current location. The club is considering...

Hi, I have great news! Cumulus Soaring, Inc. Selected as FLARM Service Partner for the Americas In recent months, all PowerFLARM repairs were done by FLARM in Europe. That was inconvenient and costly for U.S. customers. Starting immediately, all warranty and non-warranty repairs of

Does anyone ever request flight following during long cross-country flights, in order to have ATC provide separation and keep an eye out? Or is this a ridiculous idea, especially given that you'd have to keep listening all afternoon? Would controllers provide radar service, or just have a good...

I read some of this discussion and it is all excellent. There are lots of viewpoints and lots of considerations. One thing that was not mentioned was the difference between flying with an instructor, in a two-seater, and flying alone... in a single seater. There is a big difference. With the...

Are there any wrecked L-23's in the US or does anyone have a front seat spoiler handle cover available? Any leads appreciated! (I know about the wrecked L-23 Miami Gliders bought.)

airspeed is sold, thanks. I also have a factory refurbished (2009 I think) LX-4000.. a very popular older flight computer that I even heard was how Orville Wright kept up Glider No5 up for 9 minutes in 1911! I'll entertain offers if there's any takers... paul at eaglebrandproducts dot com...

I'm considering touching up over the painted-on lettering on my trailer. What paint is appropriate? Other related advise? Thanks.

Anyone done this? I copied 4 files from lxnav website to the SD card in my oudie. Then watched uros' video but the button for s7 isn't on my oudie. Do I need to connect the s7 for this to appear or have I done something wrong?

It seems that for many months Dr Jack's forecast temperature is off by -4° F consistently, sometimes I've see it too low by 7°. Has anyone else seen this bias? Tomorrow it is forecast 3.7° lower than the other commercial forecasts (69.3 vs 73). I've seen this happen in the observed high...

I am pleased to announce IGC-approval for the LXNAV Nano 4 Flight Recorder from LXNAV of Celje, Slovenia, for "all flights" including world records. This is a small stand-alone recorder with a screen, and sensors for engine operation using both low and high frequency noise. The low frequency...

Any interest in a nos 2-1/4 Winter ASI? manufactured 2006 7 FMS 423 57mm 0-160kt, 510deg 0 @ 6:00 Bonus! I wanted zero to be at 12:00 so bought a faceplate from Winter (not installed) at 12:00 with the serial number engraved on it so can be used in eitehr orientation.

Wondering if ADS-B equipped aircraft have any advantage should they need search and rescue, given that they broadcast their ID and coordinates. Is positional information logged by the ground stations, and retained for any period of time, or is it "real-time" only? If retained, it seems that ADS-B...

Help! I run my Oudie from my V7 so that it gets all the flarm data from my Flarm Core. Unfortunately it tends to run out of battery power towards the end of the flight, even though the V7 is supplying juice. I measure the current draw of the Oudie in this setup and it came in around 160ma. I...

I posted here some time ago about the app I wrote to measure glider wing frequencies - at that time it was only available for Android. It's now also on the App store for iPads and iPhones. https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/wingfrequency/id1205219824?mt=8 More information...

Any thoughts on flight characteristics of the Open Cirrus? There used to be a website covering this glider, but it doesn't appear to be active since last year. Thanks, Mike
