FWIW...So I got it all installed this weekend (SN10, PowerFLARM Brick/Core, Oudie) with mock-up cardboard antennas and a temporary test installation (no holes yet). I pushed the glider out of the hangar and watched myself ride a powerFLARM portable around the airport on my bicycle (trace recorded...

I have a Cambridge 302 that, until 4 weeks ago, was working fine. Now, at power up, it seems to calibrate the needle just fine and then, after a few seconds, sends the needle sweeping around with a buzzing or clicking sound. It does this a few times and then settles down. Curiously, the circling...

I'm going to be in Bend, OR on Friday Sept 6 and from there will have an empty towball to basically anywhere in the country. Eventually I need to make it back to Moriarty to pick up the Cherokee and then Wichita to see Leah but I'm willing to go way out of the way if money is involved...

Does anyone have any info about fitting winglets to a Nimbus 3D they can share with me? I'm interested in fitting them at both 23m as well as 25.6m span. TIA Colin

This weekend I was enjoying just a normal xc flight here in central Ohio. My Powerflarm pcas beeped at me and I took notice as the circles were getting smaller. I was scanning like crazy as the circles were nearly down to nothing, I got nervous and waggled my wings a few times. Then I turned 90...

Good morning, I started working on my glider rating about 25 years ago and got distracted.. I've since earned my PP-SEL and PP-rotor but it's been awhile since I used those as well. I'd really like to take a week off of work and dedicate it to some extensive training. To that end, I'm looking...

So, by now we should have chosen a new National Champion. Unfortunately, the SSA Website and the 1-26 Association Website are silent on that subject. It looks like they flew today, so I'm assuming there are scores. Anyone have the scoop?

Looking to renew my CFIG on line. Have done the ones where it is all focused on CFI for power pilots. Have found none that are designed specifically for glider instuctors. Anyone know of any? Thanks

We have about 5 remaining spots available.... Adirondack Soaring invites you to our 1st annual Lake Placid Wave & Flying Encampment. Our soaring club has voted to try a different site for an encampment this year. Lake Placid, NY. The Canadian’s have been coming down for years. This year’s event...

I have seen a few gliders that had yaw strings attached with something other than the white tape most of us use. It was either a clear tape or clear sticker. If any of you use something other than the white tape to attach your yaw string please share what you use. Thanks!

Dan Sazhin and his SGS 1-26 are still holding onto first place in the GCUP South contest - although he does have a big DG 808B flown by Chris Ungermann munching on his tail feathers. Still a few months to go - we'll have to see if skill and courage can prevail over technology and...

Now even airliners are worried about getting bugs on their wings: http://www.aopa.org/News-and-Video/All-News/2013/August/12/smashing-bugs-for-science.aspx?WT.mc_sect=tec&WT.mc_id=130816epilot -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "Transponders in...

I have a sample size of TWO, so take this or leave it. In BOTH the Speed Astir and Janus C log books, some previous owner had made pen-and-ink' changes to the distance from the main wheel to the tail wheel.. In BOTH cases, the factory figure was correct, and the ink changes incorrect. When...

Can multiple flights made in one day be broken into single flight files to be downloaded and used for OLC flights?

Page 22 of the K13 manual is ambiguous in the English translation. Can someone tell me if page 22 allows or disallows spins when read in the original German copy. Thanks

Anyone have a clue about getting results for the 1-26 Nats? Looks like posting the results has not been a priority. Daniel Sazhin has been posting reports but scores are not part of his report.
