Hello, I am in search of retract mechanism parts for a Grob Twin Astir. USA is preferred, but anywhere worldwide could work. If you happen to have spare or salvage parts available, please email me directly at: , but use my actual first and last names...

Hi, HP iPAQ 210 - Used http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/sale.htm#iPAQ210 This is my "test" iPAQ 210. It is 1 to 2 years old. It has been used only in my office for testing soaring software, CF GPS units, BlueTooth communications, CF Serial Cards, etc. It is in absolutely perfect condition. ...

Our club Blanik L-13 has on several occasions had the lower rudder hinge lift out of the bearing. This results in the rudder cables (under tension) pulling the rudder forward so that it rubs on the Vert Stab spar. Today when we took it to the shop, the AP looked it over and determined that the...

Hey guys, I have a question about my Colibri. It has stopped recording flights and when it turns on I get this message, "init memory" And it says that the internal seal is not valid. I obviously have to get it re-calibrated. But it has never stopped recording flight when it was past it's...

Wow... Texas soaring at it's best. I told the contestants that this contest is the inaugural Texas soaring contest for the upcoming 2012 World Glide in Uvalde. To get Texas and Region 10 clubs focused on the big show coming to the Lone Star State. Top points and speed today were earned by Ken...

Hi All, I have flown from the Long Myndd, which at 1600ft asl is the highest gliding club in UK, situated on a 4 mile long N/S ridge. So as long as there is more than a 15 knot Westerly wind it does not really matter how high you get on the winch... you WILL GO UP ! They are the only club still...

I flew out of Logan, UT yesterday, and unexpectedly landed out on Big Piney airport (KBPI) in WY. Since Logan is hosting a contest now, they can't aeroretrieve me until they launch all gliders, possibly until 5pm or so. If there is any towplane nearby which can give me a tow sooner, please call me...

5 days in the bag. Very competitive in all classes, especially the combined 15-18 meter class. Today's weather was 50% great and 50% average to "@#%&@!!!". A few landouts but 2/3rds of the contestants got home. Oh well, you can't eat chocolate cake everyday. But 4 out of 5 as boomin'...we'll...

For you AZ Pilots.. Prez Obama will be at Grand Canyon on Sunday.. there is the standard 30nm TFR set up around the Grand Canyon VOR. I would not plan a X-C in that direction. He is in the PHX area either before or after.

Hi, Does anyone know of a source for a G-meter that is installed inside LNavs. Anyone have one kicking around they no longer need? Also, are temperature probes for the LNav still available? Thanks, Bob 7U

After two boomin' dynamic days we had a little more of a challenge today. Slightly slower speeds, some choppy lift down low, but everyone save one got around the course. Check the results on the SSA contest page for Region 10. Everyone is really enjoying Brenham... the town and the airport....

Hey guys; Just to let you know that we are putting on Europe’s biggest Extreme Sports festival next month, September 18th to 20th, on Brighton Beach. Its going to be absolutely insane, with loads of epic sports you have heard of and probably a fair few that are new to you. Here are just some...

just revisited this software in its current version 5.2 Have to say this software has really matured and I was most impressed with it whilst flying with it yesterday. I particularly liked the custom terrain and waypoint downloading when setting it up. Check out http://xcsoar.org

For those pilots who are "displaced" since the cancellation of Region 3, you are most welcome to compete at Ionia, Michigan. Practice day is Sunday, August 16th. There is plenty of camper/mobile home space on the airport with RV hookups or plenty of small quality inexpensive hotels locally. Here...
