Anyone using an Oudie with a CA302 ? Any comments on it? How do you have it hooked up? Are you using the internal GPS or the 302 GPS? Would you buy one now or wait? Thanks, S9

Hi, I have added the LXNAV V7 variometer to my web site. It is a truly awesome variometer. I love the built-in g-meter and FLARM display. I also love the way it can display many different variometer parameters and the MacCready setting on the same scale. I show a few example systems with...

The slide-on weather seal on the front door of my 1986 Komet is dying. Harol Ennulat of Entec Technical Services has disappeared. Any recommendations on a source for this weather seal?

I was leafing through a back issue of Soaring at SSA's W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U- L online archive. Its fun to see what was happening 10-20-30 years ago. I then stumbled across a heads up display (HUD) for gliders. "Man", I said to myself, "that is pretty...

Our club's PZL Swidnik PW5's push-to-talk switch is starting to fail. We looked at it briefly and it was not immediately obvious how it could be removed from the control stick and replaced. The maintenance manual was no help. Has anyone worked on one of these?

We are VERY close to restarting operations at Hemet Ryan in CA but the County bureaucrats are still trying to write soaring out of existence in the future. They just don't get it. Plagiarize as much or as little as you wish of my following letter...focus more on the Master Plan rather than the...
