Anyone come across a generator problem with their ASH 25Mi. Mine has stopped charging the battery (red light on ILEC remains on) and I am looking for any advice on the best way to resolve this problem. Thanks

Rob recently documented his nook installation from his glider he http://xcsoar-robd.wikispaces.com/XCSoar+on+Nook+Simple+Touch He hooked it up to his cai302 via serial and patches in the power from the aircraft battery. I think this is the most cost effective way for a sunlight readable...

I had a chance to load a new config file and was able to fly today. There was no "flarm range" in my original config file. With the file I used today the "flarm range" config was set to maximum with the statement below. I had several flarm detections that occured around 4 miles. This is between...

Hello fellow soaring pilots, I'm asking for your help in receiving an exemption to new FAA regulations that require a yearly FAA checkride to fly a jet sailplane. Here's the story: In 2011, FAA issued new regulations regarding training for pilots of turbojet powered aircraft. These new...

I'm looking for my glider.

Still on the look out for working Cambridge L/S Nav Happy to cover all shipping costs

Does anyone know where our club can find a LH Torque Plate, p/n 675-02400 for our Pawnee? Our local mechanic is being given a two month delivery estimate from Univair for this part.

Not a bad day on the New Jersey and Pennsylvania ridges today. A rare SE day without cloud or rain issues. Bill Thar flew his Duck Hawk for an "easy" 750K with only one turn in 5.5 hours. Not too shabby! http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0/gliding/flightinfo.html?dsId=2771979

Does anybody have a Colibri II logger? This looks like a splendid device, capable of serving as a backup audio vario and a backup nav system as well as an approved logger. However, from reading the manual online it looks as though the only way of downloading an IGC file is via a micro SD card. Can...

Has anyone had any experience in removing the steerable tailwheel fork from an APIS motorglider. I am having great difficulty in removing same, perhaps due to corrosion. I have tried various releasing agents such as Releasall, WD-40, etc, with no results. Any assistance greatly appreciated.

When the first vario was put into a glider, it presumably gave the pilot a competitive advantage. So does every move forward in soaring and cruising performance. Then came flight computers.

I am confused with the wiring diagram of the manual. Can anyone help clear up some confusion on the placement of the PTT wires? Where do wires 17 & 25 go in conjunction with the two wires that come from the PTT on the control stick?

Albeit off to a slow start, however all the action can be seen in Soaring Spot http://soaringspot.com/2012gtr/results/

My RC friends who use LiFePO4 swear by them. They handle high amperage drain and can be charged at higher amperage than other battery technology. They are not as popular in RC as they are heavier and larger than equal LiPo amperage. These differences are not a concern for sailplane use. And of...

Three members at my club (self included) have installed PowerFlarm bricks recently. We carefully read and have complied with the antenna separation requirements in the manual. As is stands currently, the maximum xperienced communication range (Flarm to Flarm) is about 2.2 miles and it frequently...

I need to replace the air struts for a 1982 15 Meter Komet III Trailer. Any suggestions for sources? jcmartin AT bak.rr.com
