Lift Panel for Discus b/cs and Ventus b/c. Normal leg area. Purchased a couple years back from M and H soaring but never used. New condition fiberglass blank. Will send to you for $100 plus shipping. Contact me for photos! Jim - )

I got another message from the model rocket group that they will be launching from their site 10 miles east of Mansfield. See below for the email text: We will be launching from the Snell Ranch site, 2 miles south of the highway 10 miles east of Mansfield Saturday and Sunday. We anticipate a...

Can someone familiar with the HP series of aircraft give me some info regarding the landing gear shock strut charging process? I am about ready to install it and need info on fluid type, amount and charging. Thanks, Brad N599GK

When I purchased the Cambridge 302 I was somewhat bewildered by the different tones that the 302 can make during flight - other than lift/ sink that is. Once I flew with the 302 for a while the various tones started to make sense. You can listen to lift, sink, speed to fly, gear warnings, slow...

I just read the following in the Cambridge 302 manual (http:// www.cambridge-aero.com/manuals/302_v3.pdf - page 7) "...used to log Pilot EVents (PEV) in the flight log as mandated by the IGC." I have never heard that Pilot Event logging was *MANDATED* by the IGC. I searched and found...

The US sectional charts on my website (in CMR format for SeeYou and georeferenced TIFF format for GoogleEarth, Global Mapper, etc.) have been updated to the most recent versions. Moving forward, I plan to issue new updates every charting cycle, so that the charts will always be current. Some have...

I spent a bit of time on the SSA website trying to find out if "Position Recorders" (not an IGC Approved Flight Recorder) are allowed for Silver badges. The info from 2010 seems to indicate that Position Recorders are not allowed for Silver badges, unless someone has in addition a barograph. Did I...

All, The fires have receded, TFRs backed away from the immediate area, Dash is ON for this Saturday. Looking forward to seeing y'all there, Ian

I have a Schreder trailer that I'm having trouble dealing with mositure. It is all metal including the floor and has good positive venting includng a solar vent. Despite this I can open the trailer after only a week and find evidence on my glider of signficant mositure. It may just be the dew...

Hello, Some college friends and I have been flying sailplanes with the eventual goal of getting into competition soaring. This would not be for a while, but we were wondering if it is common to find competition sailplanes available for lease during a season? If so, what is a 'typical' cost range?...

Looking for the cable that goes from the back of the Cambridge GPS 20 box to the bottom of an Aero 1520 Pocket PC. I understand they are 1) Out of production and 2) Subject to failure both from the wires breaking and the clip mechanism wearing out. Would like to buy a couple of them to have for...

Hi Folks - Quick question - does anyone have experience with the LS-4 Trim Lock coming loose with large control deflection? I'm not quite sure what's causing the mechanism to slip - whether it is a cable adjustment issue, weak spring issue, or whether the brackets that lock the tube are just worn...

Has anyone figured out a way to submit valid igc files from these devices? For the last few seasons, everything was working fine. This year, about 3 out of every 4 OLC postings produce an invalid status. The OLC folks have been nice enough to fix the log file status, but they cannot continue to do...

It sure would be nice to have an IPAD app to keep track of glider times on the flight line. Maybe a clock at the top with the ability to log launch and landing times for multiple gliders and pilots simultaneously while showing elapsed time in the air for each flight etc.... Sure would beat our...

End of the season sell out of gap tape. 40 rolls of tape for $40 post paid in the USA. That is less than $1 a roll if you subtract the shipping costs. By the way, it looks as if the US Post Office is going to change rates for shipping so this may be the last time I can sell tape for $40 for 40.

Evan, I have had the USAF altitude chamber training x 5. I'm not a doctor and I don't play one on TV. Glen
