Recognizing and reacting to tow plane engine failure by
son_of_flubber
It would be useful to hear your stories of how incidents of tow plane engine failure turned out for you. It seems that there is very little time to recognize, react, and recover. What are classic mistakes to make in this scenario?
Would it be useful to practice 'release and land to the side of...

SLA batteries opinions? by
john firth
Recently I tested two 12v SLA s which had been in use

Both were run down to 10.5 v with a 10 ohm load and then recharged to 14v,
The Yuasa 7 AH bought 2005 was good for about 2.5 AH

I am going to build a new panel for my glider this winter and would
like to go with all small instruments.
The Altimeter is the only one that I am having trouble deciding on, I

Wing wheel from Craggy Aero by
2G
I wanted to replace the Cobra wing wheel I had been using because 1) it goes with the ASH26e I have for sale and 2) the tire scrubs the tarmac as I go around turns, putting stress on the wing. I ordered the CA WingWheel from Craggy Aero because the wheel swivels with the direction of...

High Speed Passes & the FAA by
JJ Sinclair
Isn't there an FAR that says aviators will not fly below 500 feet, if over
people, places or things, unless they are in the act of landing? This question
was asked by a pilots wife/crew at a nationals. Her motorhome was located on a
permanently closed runway about 500 feet from the active runway....

Cobra Trailer Spare Tire mount failure by
Barny
Just a warning to check your trailer spare before a trip and along the
way at gas stops. My 1998 trailer spare tire mount broke on a highway
trip. The wheel is mounted on the frame that holds the glider nose in
place. Two 8mm bolts welded to the nose cone frame hold the wheel to
the frame. One...

Kobo vs Nook by
6PK
I have been running a Kobo Glo for three seasons now and for the most part I'm happy with it. The one problem I had encountered a few times when down low in the heat, the screen tends to fade out but so far every time it recovered-no problem it had never crashed.
I just wondered if anyone...

Private airport or small field for landout? by
Charles Ethridge
Hi all.
I'm a former cfi-i/mei and commercial glider pilot, but I've never gone cross-country in my PW-5 glider. Training up for it though. A question:
If you are in an area where the fields are small, but there are several private airfields around, which should be your priority?
Seems to me...

Cobra Trailer by
My PW5 came with a very nice Cobra trailer that originally was for a Discus.
It's all metal (no Fiberglas). Needless to say it's way to big for the PW5-5
although it has been converted very nicely. I'm sure it would be very easy
to convert it back for a 15 meter ship.
If anyone would like to...

Here's a quote from Slate Magazine (http://www.slate.com/id/2147499/):
Syria had hundreds of files on al-Qaida, including dossiers on those

Syrian spies had penetrated al-Qaida cells throughout the Middle East,
