Hello, we have a sailplane that had some water inside one of the wings. The sailplane is made in GFRP. The sailplane was disassembled and stored but a nearby water pipe has broken and sprayed some water inside the wing about 5-6cm (2-3in.) deep along the leading edge. The problem is that it...

I am looking for an axle for a PIK 20 trailer, or something that is similar. If you have one or have any ideas of where to find one I would be much obliged. Thanks, Taylor

Hi all, sorry for my english. I'm a new owner of an asw19b. I ordered the TN11 kit to add the second blade to the airbrakes. If i try to mount the blade of the kit with the supplied screws, blades have an enormous play on the vertical axis because there ale a pair mm between the blade and the...

I'm pretty sure I am going to have my HP-24 professionally painted. Can anyone recommend a place within a 500 mile radius of the greater Seattle area that has experience with Prestec? thanks, Brad

1) Does anyone have any official word on Aircraft Industriy's progress on developing an inspection for the L13 Blaniks? 2) Does anyone have a rewindable tow rope in a Cessna 172 towplane? Thanks, Roger

Later today or tomorrow I'm going to be searching the 'Net for a how- to on this, but until then if anyone has a link to help with, I'll check here first. Advance thanks ted/2N7O

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has had problems with their spot unit not being able to get a GPS signal? Mine was working for about a month, and now it no longer gets a GPS signal even though it can still send a help message without location. The GPS light just blinks red even if I'm outside in...

I just acquired a Cambridge GPS-NAV to connect to my L-Nav. It has the wrong turnpoint database for my area. I have no manuals and am struggling with finding the program required on my PC to upload the unit with a turnpoint database. I'm also unable to find the turnpoints for the Moriarty, NM...

Hi, I currently sell a nice mechanical water meter for use when filling the glider wings. It works great. The only thing it is lacking is the ability to zero the meter. Therefore, you need to make note of the number before you start filling and calculate what number you want to arrive at...

Are there some standard colors for tubing for static, TE, etc.? Thanks, Fred

The Tucson OLC Challenge is five weeks away and registration will be closing in about a week. The event is a one-week cross-country meet at El Tiro Gliderport from May 13th to 21st. This is one of the best times of the year in southern Arizona - not too hot, but generally strong...

Fellow pilots: Nothing's definite yet, but I have a sudden opportunity to acquire a different glider. If that happens I'll need to sell my DG-300 to complete the purchase. The ship is in excellent condition. I searched all over the country before buying it, to find the best DG-300 possible. It...

Has anyone flown from there or been a member? I'm thinking of moving clubs for a couple of reasons but thought I'd see if anyone had any views on here before I go take a look. Cheers Rob

The Twin II of our club has an empty weight of 415 kg wich, with a max. permitable total mass of 580kg leaves a max. payload of only 165kg......... Now we are trying to solve this problem because we want to ad an extra 20 kg of payload. so the payload can be increased to 185 kg the options are...

Hi, Quick google search on "TCAS filter slow" and similar didn't get me what I wanted, so here goes... Do TCAS systems filter out targets which have slow/no ground speed? Reason for asking... I got into wave yesterday, and while climbing through 11,000 MSL NW of Allentown PA had an American...

The MRX is mounted on top of the glare shield and the Becker is driving a L2 antenna mounted in the nose of my ASH-26E, just forward of the rudder pedals. When I squawk 1201, the MRX shows 1236 (or other 12xx code) and the altitude is about 500' lower than what's on the Becker. Are the antennas...
