Hi John, I use captive safeties that look like this: https://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n638/SoarNH/LandR.jpg https://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n638/SoarNH/AileronsandLeftFlapHotellier.jpg I think you can buy them from a Schempp Hirth dealer.

Does anybody knows what gliders they do have and how many? Their website doesn’t say. Thanks!

I'm in the process of building a new instrument panel in my glider and am at the point of hooking it all back up. When I have the power cable plugged in to the back of the CAI CPT 505 and turn the power on, the needle deflects to -10kt, and if I switch it to 2x, then the needle deflects to -5kt. ...

It’s a long shot, but does anyone have a 17 meter Eberle trailer they would sell? Looking to upgrade from a home built trailer for a Kestrel 17. Thanks! Phil C.

Windward has revamped their website (http://windward-performance.com/) and all sailplanes have disappeared from their website. Anybody in the know as to whether they've ceased any production, or sold off the molds etc?

Hi Gents I've arranged to have a Towplane running for the above dates in Salida. I'd like to get 6-8 planes together, I've got two now. All were providing is a rope. A good one. And a couple of cold ones when you land. No registration. No retrieve office. Very limited organization. No whiners or...

Hey all - I've been seeing this terminology around, such as for next month's Region 10, but it doesn't line up with the current rules - can anyone clarify what this means?

I pulled my Cobra up the Sierras to Sparks, Nv and then blew the right tire (6� of tread separated and took the fender off too). Tire and wheel were Not even warm. Put on the spare and drove the final 20 miles. Next morning I jacked up one wheel and took 2 tires and rims in and got 6 ply trailer...

Hey all - anyone have a definitive answer as to to which mfg.'s used this stuff, and when they quit? It would help narrow the search for an older glass ship.

hello! my name is kevin and i am trying to get a schedule to have my dad go up in one of evergreen soaring gliders. he has wanted to ride for as long as i can remember. he lives in north marysville and frequently goes out to the airport and watches. but every time i go on the scheduling site for a...

New is a EI volt/ammeter, complete with wiring harness and instruction manual. Ideal for motorglider or small aircraft. New price is $375, I'll sell this one for $150 plus shipping. I have a photo if interested.

My gliding club has a DG-1000S. We have an overly complex spreadsheet which we use to determine permissible cockpit weights and the number of tail weights required (0-12 Kg). Part of the complexity is that the spreadsheet has to allow for 18 m or 20 m wings, plus wet or dry configuration. Another...

I have sent several messages through Glidersource.org inquiring about some instruments listed in their classified ads. Glidersource has sent me messages saying that the inquiry has been forwarded to the seller, but I have not received any response from him. Anybody else run into a problem like...

I have a new glider on order and naturally I want to build-in all the things it will need over the next ten years at least, rather than adding things later piecemeal. In the non-carbon part of the fin I plan to have a radio aerial, a transponder aerial and a Flarm aerial. However it seems that...

The new LXNav TrafficView has been available for a while now. But where the heck is the manual? I know, I know, it is similar enough to the older FlarmView so we can "just figure things out". But a new expensive product and no manual available at startup? Really? One thing we have all...

Kudos.. to the R11 organizers, CDs and pilots for pulling of a difficult contest. Poor weather resulted in 4 days of contest flying including one California Grand Prix task. The last day was the only real racing day, won by John Cochrane "BB" in his ASH-31mi. It shows a classic Minden/Truckee...

I have purchased a sailplane in the US and am struggling with German authorities to get it certified due to their requirements. The aircraft in question hasn't flown for 8 years and is not airworthy and I require a statement from a DAR-T saying just that. Is there anyone that can help me on this?

I've started carrying my Inreach in a fanny pack. They are cheap, and if rotated so the pack lies between parachute straps, offer a comfortable way to keep safety equipment attached in the event of a baleout.
