Did anyone else buy an inReach at the SSA Convention? I did and was supposed to get a $50 rebate. I've called Delorme twice and gotten nice words but no action. Still no rebate. Anyone else received their rebate? Dan

Hi, I am trying to contact Brian Lansburgh to order more Dawn Flight DVDs. He formerly ran a glider operation at www.sunriversoaring.com. The web site is still working but I can't seem to contact him. He was the producer or director of the soaring film "Dawn Flight" and had made the...

I've recently acquired the capability to make updated sectionals that can be used with GlidePlan. Kinda. Right now it is a pretty manual process that takes me about an hour or so for each one. I'm trying go gauge how much interest still remains in that program to see if it would be worth the...

So I am relatively new to my Cambridge model 20, and I tried submitting the trace from the logger to the OLC. I followed the instructions on the clear nav page using their converter tool, but still got the red V. Anyone else have the same issue or have an idea where I went wrong? Thanks Peter

Hello. I have a CAI 302 with a problem. During a flight yesterday it turned the volume to max by itself - and there is no way to turn it down again. It had the problem 1 year ago also. I send it to repair, but when it got to the repair shop the problem had gone away, so nothing was fixed. I do...

After a couple of years parked, my flowmeter has lost its ball. I think it's just stuck at the bottom of the tube. Needle valve still regulates oxy flow, but no way to read the rate. Is this common, is it fixable, or must I replace the unit? Ian

Just saw this on the interwebs this morning. A paraglider pilot managed to finally complete a 300km triangle in the alps. http://www.xcmag.com/2014/06/thomas-walder-flies-first-paraglider-300km-fai-triangle/ Pretty impressive for something with slightly better than half the L/D of a 1-26 :-) Pete

The top two OLC point-getters in the US for June 6th were both 1-26 guys in California. Doug Levy and George Powell posted flights of 544 km and 415 km. Pretty cool.

Let the praise and suggestions begin!

Trying to download the latest firmware for Oudie... Naviter says DON'T use version 5.12, use 5.19. Yet the version on its download and updater links is to .... 5.12. Where did I go wrong.

2001 Cobra trailer is all aluminum construction rigged for ASW-20 but can be set-up for many 15 and 18 meter gliders with appropriate fittings. It has a third rail ramp extension and winglet storage brackets. The tires were replaced a couple of years ago for aging considerations. It is in...

Come-on man... no comments about your fantastic 126 adventure in the Owens! Love to hear something about it....

Ok - this one is for all of you flight computer savvy guys in US-glider land because I for sure am at the end of my whits. Here is the set-up: I bought a used LX7007Compact. This is the one which does not have its own GPS receiver, so it needs an external source. I also do have a PowerFLARM core...

Hi, Naviter just released version 6.1 of SeeYou for PC. Customers with a current SeeYou Cloud subscription can use the new vector maps and satellite image maps which are much higher resolution that the previous maps. The maps download automatically when you view a map in the waypoint, task or...

Hello Ken, In 51 years of soring I have had two unplanned terminations from a tow. Both took place in the 70's. In 1973 while on tow in a Std Libelle the tow rope quietly released from the nose hook (Tost). I had done nothing to precipitate this release ...no hand on the release, no banging the...

Is it possible to download a flight file from an IGC approved logger into an Android phone then email the file to contest scoring without corrupting the file?

Just uploaded my latest video from last Saturday's 500km O&R (out and return) Utah state record attempt. Was beyond an amazing day with Nephi and Utah again not disappointing. Yes, I promise to work on keeping my damn hand still on the stick! The controls are so light on the 27 you don't know you...

Anyone know why the Duo (and supposedly other Doppelsetzers) have the same minimum front seat weight with or without a person in the back seat? The rear seat moment arm has about 1/4th the effect compared to the front, so I would think a 200 pounder in the rear would reduce the front min weight by...
