Using three batteries, I have three "-" battery wires running to a negative terminal strip all "jumped on the terminal input side. Is it also best to ground the "-" terminal strip to the largest metal mass in the glider such as the elevator/aileron yoke? Thanks. Ben

I've just started flying with a new lx7007c and noyiced that in all the flights on See You the glider symbol is constantly pointing north. This looks very strange as it appears the glider is, at times, flying backwards! On inspecting the IGC log file I see that there is no heading information...

Hi Gents I left my ipaq 4700 unplugged for a couple of years and now it seems to be really dead. I plugged it in for a couple of days and hit the soft reset, nothing, no light at the top. Is there anyway to revive this little guy? Nick Kennedy

We had a great Safari to South Central Oregon to explore the Abert Rim, one of the highest fault scarps in the USA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abert_Rim We shot some...

Hi everyone, apporaching Newark (KEWR) yesterday on the FLOSI2-arrival, I noticed an airfield with at least ten gliders aligned close to the runway just in the vicinity of point CRANK (N41°25.00'W074°23.33'), which we crossed in 6000 ft. Google maps did not help me much, I also could not find any...

A couple of years ago there was a video of a V-tailed glider spinning in a vertical wind tunnel. I believe this was of French origin. The model had about a six ft wingspan; the tester simply tossed into the wind tunnel in the spinning position and this could be maintained indefinitely. I cannot...

Can anyone remind me what sectionals we use for a contest at Mifflin? Thanks, Tim EY

Due to the need to swap our 25kHz radios in europe 'til '18 I offer my Becker AR3201 for sale. Unit is ok, never broken and looks like any other 3201. If you're interested send email to .

I just found out about a double fatality K7 crash in Littlefield, Tx about a month ago. How did this go unnoticed? http://lubbockonline.com/local-news/2013-04-01/feds-investigating-fatal-glider-crash-littlefield#.UYHLf0qcPTo Apparently, one wing snapped off after releasing from tow.

What am I missing? Could someone please explain why PowerFLARM.US has not released the IGC approved version 2.71 for flight logs? Ben

I would like to see how many points the motorglider guys would end up scoring if their motor was rendered unavailable after launch. A friend of mine couldn't get his motor started one day, so he took an aero tow, and his flying was much different that day. It's just not the same when you know...

Any leads on getting new plexiglass for a Grob 103 TwinII Acro rear canopy. Yesterday a club member had one come open and shatter in flight. The frame is basically ok but they need the plexiglass. Any info on how anyone else came up with a replacment canopy would be appreciated.

Hi all, Before we submit the new version of WinPilot for iOS to the AppStore, we would like to find the last few remaining bugs, and give the new features the final tweak. In exchange for trying the software and providing us with your feedback, the software will be yours to keep for free. Here...

An important but difficult question to answer is "How well did I sleep last night?" It would be nice to have some objective measure of that other than "clock time" because sleep quality varies. I've been experimenting with an Ipod Touch App that uses the accelerometer to log my "tossing and...

I can't find any recent discussions on FlarmNet, which is plugged in the Butterfly display manual. Are most USA PF users registering on FlarmNet.org? How is the .bnf file installed? Is it used by the BF display, or by the PF core? Most importantly will it make me fly faster???

I had a pair of seemingly disjoint flight data problems through Saturday and I’m curious whether their absence on Sunday had them connected in some way. My setup: LX7007 Pro IGC (ver 2.01) providing NMEA and LXWP* sentences to an Oudie (SeeYou Mobile, latest version). I use the LX for general task...
