Hi, Due to the coming change over to 8.33 kHz channels in Europe I have a 4201 for sale. It is boxed, with its manual and form 1, but no connector (easily purchased or made up from the manual). Price, not including shipping, 350 Euros. Cheers Robin Birch

Anyone know anything about this new version of the Delorme InReach? Apparently adds ability to navigate to waypoints and route planning/navigation.

Might anyone know of a Diamant 15 manual in PDF/electronic form to which they can point me? (That's the side-stick, LIbelle-winged model.) Thanks much! Bob W.

The needle fell off my 302 today, just sitting behind the plastic bezel. Anyone know how to remove that bezel so I can re-seat the needle?

Is the "no touching of controls" when it comes to insurance common in the power community? If that was part of the policy in my previous glider club, I didn't know it. It certainly wasn't in the club rules. I routinely let passengers try a couple of turns at altitude if they wanted to. Usually,...

In the process of overhauling my dump valves this winter I noticed some brownish deposits in the bags. Nothing too bad or worth pulling the bags but I was wondering if I should add something to the water to keep the bags clean. I have heard of fabric softener but I assume this is mostly for...

What are the inexpensive devices for logging Silver and Gold badge flights, and how do they compare - costs / ease of use / reliability, etc ? I will be working on my Silver badge this season, using a rented glider, so I need an inexpensive, portable, and easy to use setup. It seems to me that...
