When we made my fuselage, it was winter and we were heating the shop with a propane heater. Propane releases moisture during combustion. So........molds are waxed multiple times, gelcoat (shurfab polyester product) is sprayed into the mold, we leave the heater on and go home for the...

Hi, This may seem off-topic, but actually it is not. I have been doing a lot of testing with my iPAQ 210 and several soaring GPS units and CF Card GPS units (through a CF Card Serial Port) and I seem to have found a bug in the iPAQ 210's hardware or software. The GPS data is interrupted...

Any chance that someone knows where to find a Grob 103 Twin II (non- acro) maintenance manual, faster than we may get it from the Grob company, I'd really appreciate the help. We've got an odd serial #3574 and its a hybrid between a Twin Astir and a Twin II with rudder cables instead of control...

I am interested in buying a working Aero Compaq. If you know some one with units for sale please let me know. Udo

Heard a rumor that the Aiport Manager was trying to end future contests in Uvalde by making glider ground ops difficult - including banning assemblies from the ramp. Any truth in this?

I've had a Volkslogger for 6 years now and I really am pleased with it. There is one feature that really does not work good for me, setting the home point. I like to set the home point every time I upload a new turnpoint database. This is a nice backup to have handy if my PDA dies then I can...

Checking to see if I am the only person with this problem. OLC for region 11 is stuck on 17 August when I sign on. No dates are available after 17 August. Guy "DDS"

I have had an in-flight failure with this unit. It showed at first no GPS. I restarted it and it would work ok for 5-7 minutes. then the same again. The next day it would not acquire a GPS signal at all but gave a message something about com port 6 or 9, I do not remember which. I tested the PDA...

How do you get turnpoints and tasks into the colibri? I looked on the turnpoint exchange site and there is not a link to Colibri? Fred

I'm going to be wandering around southern France the last two days of September, and in northern Italy the first three days of October (Milan / St Vincent). In the off chance that there might be an opportunity to spend an hour or two in the back seat of a high performance ship along the way, I...

When I bought my glider a year ago there was a PZL Warszawa ll compass that came with it but was not installed. Looking at it I found that ther was no fluid in the unit. Looks like a nice little so I thought I'd refill it an mount it. The problem is that I dodn't know what type of fluid to use. ...

Can anyone give me details of software required (free if possible) to download the track log from the Pilot 3 GPS. Thanks Jim Hughes

I am planning to drive out from Tulsa, OK to Tehachapi, CA in a couple of weeks to pick up a glider. Does anyone need a glider towed west? I will be going through Albuquerque, NM and Flag Staff, AZ. Randy

I heard an AD was being considered for the wing spigots on the Grob 102s (US version AD). Any definite info on where this is headed and when? Thanks, Gary

Please mark your calendars - just two weeks to go until the 24th annual Dust Devil Dash from Tehachapi. Your chance to revisit the days of straight-out XC, to practice your retrieve skills and crew, maybe to regain your high place in the OLC with one spectacular flight. Come one, come all to...
