Any idea how far an older sailplane has flown? What are some of the best Ka-6, SHK, LO-150 or Elfe flights?

Looking for replacement wheels and straps. Dennis

My Becker AR3201 which has a serial #1934 which is pretty close to the year when it was produced :) worked so well until last week. The problem is the it is no out putting to the speaker - I can talk but can't listen. Seems to work spotty especially when the battery is fully charged. Anyone...

I mentioned in the Nephi thread being released by the tow plane. A bit of detail: My first flight of the day I released at 2,000' AGL a couple of miles east of Driggs. The lift was spotty and, after about 45 minutes, I had to land. For the second flight, Tom, owner of the ASH-30mi made the...

After a raft of pilots trying to destroy their SN10s with unfortunate attempts at wiring, I added a bit more info on the SN10 resources page (PDA hookup section). Please, no more fires; we'll all be happier... http://www.nadler.com/sn10/SN10_Resource_Index.html Enjoy, Best Regards, Dave

Alex Franke, Wings & Wheels Want Ads webmaster is set to solo in two weeks on his 14th birthday. Is he going to be the first 4th generation glider pilot? Anyone know of another? Proud Dad, Sean Franke

The 2014 Nephi OLC meet is now in the logbook. And what a great event this thing is. Bruno Vassel has this vision and he is making it happen, and what a great vision it is. The Great Basin has some of the best soaring conditions in the world and the best part is that if you live in the USA you can...

I have a early Ventus and it came with a orange/red nose and tip paint. Where can I find the matching color of that paint? I have a few scrapes that I want to touch up. Dennis

Anyone have any ideas why the TE probe is on the left tip of the horizontal stab of the just announced JS-1 EVO.

Anyone using an iPad or iPad mini with the iGlide software? I wondered if anyone was using a mount for an iPad mini or could recommend one.

Thinking about purchasing a club class glider for next year (can't afford a JS1 or ASG29). I know Std Cirri seem to be popular, but notice G Dale has bought a DG100 or 101 and won the UK Nationals in it -just wondered which would be the best for club class competition and what the pro's and...

Hi I fly a older Ventus and my glider wings are difficult to slide tight to the glider for pinning. I have a 1 pin set up and start with my left wing. I keep my brakes open and flap in 3. I can line up the inserted arm fine and line up the controls but, once I get to a couple inches it bogs...
