Hi! Maybe you know who has a 2-22 for sale-a friend of mine is looking for an airworthy one or a project for grandkids. 201-893-0878, or email me. Thanks, Luke

I have a Dittel FSG 60M radio available for sale, make an offer. The radio was repaired last September and it worked without a problem until Capt. Andy changed the task in the air at Cordele. It seems to receive the beginning and the end of transmissions from the CD while leaving out the middle...

Hi, I have somehow managed to lose the small spring-loaded pin that locks the black plastic wingtip retainer dowel into the end of the wing of my Ventus 2bx. Anyone know where I can get a replacement spring & pin assembly (or the entire plastic dowel)? Maybe the McMaster-Carr...

My UK gliding club has just been forced to increase the cost of 2000ft aerotows from £25 to £29 (about $58), just due to the spiralling price of fuel. A good case for more winch launching perhaps! Derek Copeland

Frank Whiteley and I spent the first three days of this week training the folks at Cross Country Soaring ( http://www.crosscountrysoaring.com/index.html ) to use their new winch. Frank trained the winch drivers and I trained pilots. I lost track of the number of launches but it was probably...

RAS, I graduate with a degree in Aerospace Engineering in December. Ive decided to entitle my senior project: "Flight Test Evaluation of a Cherokee II Sailplane" It makes perfect sense to me that the culmination of my education should involve me flying my glider, and perhaps allowing me to...

Nothing on the SSA website.

We have a G103 with an esa-systems multi function probe. The probe serves as a static, pitot and total energy ports. The socket that it plugs into is mounted in the vertical stabilizer and Three tubes run forward to service flight instruments. The socket contains three o- rings to keep the three...

The Port of Hood River and the FBO at 4S2 tried to force me out, but I WON! I had to get a lawyer involved, and it took 6 weeks, but we out lasted them, and finally got them to understand that I wasn't going away. When we notified them that every email that they wrote, and every email they...

I've spent a lot of time looking at the XCSOAR Tactical Glide program. I am attracted to it partly due to its functionality and he fact that its FREE...I am running an IPAQ 3955 PPC2002 and a Holux GR-271 Compact Flash GPS Receiver. I have downloaded XCSOAR 5.14 onto the PDA...I am now LOST...I...

"About midnight last night, the FAA Notam system crashed," AOPA's Chris Dancy told AVweb early on Friday morning. http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/FAA_NOTAMSystemOffLine_197954-1.html

With excellent soaring conditions forecast for today, I decided to take the Cherokee on a trip. Sure wouldve been nice to put more miles on, but I fell out of booming skies after about an hour and a half flight. Made it about 50 nautical miles to a really nice field. Here is the report copied...

The 2008 Standard Class Nationals ended with a whimper today. Despite good air in the task area, upper level clouds began to clamp down heating during the morning. By noon, there was a thickening cirrus deck, though we could see vultures and hawks beginning to thermal. The CD sent up Markus...

Hi fellow pilots! I have put up a new website for charting a glider anywhere in the world. Want to go to Germany on vacation and would like to rent a glider for a couple of days ? Go on the site, browse through available gliders, find what you want and contact the owner. Its all free ! Or do you...

Hey guys, what's your opinion on the use of mylar seals at the horizontal stab/elevator gap? Specifically for LS ships. Do people opt not to use them for fear of "lifting" tape or mylar and causing elevator effectiveness issues? Losing elevator effectiveness is certainly a valid concern, but does...

Could someone give us a clue as to what is happening at the Standard Class Nationals? Here it is the last day of the contest. The reporting and scoring seem non-existent. Thanks, Ed Byars

Well, it took a lot of waiting on the grid, but we eventually got a contest day in on Wednesday. Over night, a line of extremely strong thunderstorms dumped more than an inch of rain on Cordele and the surrounding area. We awoke to find standing water and mud on the airport, but there was blue...

A friend of mine (glider pilot/owner) is returning from delivering a glider to Las Vegas on Monday, May 26 (leaving in the AM). Tow vehicle is a big Ford F-250 diesel pickup. Anyone needing a glider trailer moved East (as far as St Louis/Illinois area) can contact Max at 618-977-9063 (cell). Or...
