Looking for a used set of wheel fairings for Katana Xtreme or DA20. (Super Dimona) Main priority is to find a PORT side fairing. Any leads gratefully accepted. Cheers Fish

Dear Friends, You may find these Air Transport Pilot (ATP) airman credentials interesting. These ATP airman credentials shew glider rating only with no airplane ratings. Can you explain this? Can you do same?

Shine it, with a protective polished coating inherent in the product. Simpler than paint. To make paint adhere to aluminum requires a lot of preparation; polishing does not take so much work. You can hire unskilled labor to do the polishing, Senor.

Can anyone recommend a supplier for Amsteel or equivalent tow rope?

I will be shipping a glider in Cobra trailer in 40ft Container from LA to Australia shortly. I am thinking that an open trailer put on it's side might slot nicely up beside the Cobra. Our gliding club sorely needs a trailer for its Blanik L13. If you know of a trailer that would be available in...

The OLC organizers have to assume that the participants in the contest will not violate restricted airspace during their flights. ATC clearances are necessary to enter certain airspace. The OLC team will not check if a pilot has obtained the necessary clearance to enter airspace which needs...

Had this random thought over the weekend. Figured there were people on RAS that might have information to say whether this would help or hurt the transmit "power" of a transponder. Instead of mounting a single antenna on the belly of the fuse where it can get beat up in the trailer, off field...

Please see my advert in Accessories for sale if you've lost a parachute or seem to have the wrong one Thanks Andy

A year or two ago someone said they had seen some software that would pick thermal locations from IGC files and would start to map out thermal "hot spots". The more IGC files the better the data got. Anyone know if this is real and if so where to get the software? Thanks, Gary

Does anyone have any recommendations on the appropriate solar cell technology for in flight recharging of sealed lead acid batteries? Ie Eg what's the recommended regulator technology - is it normal to shunt the solar cells when the battery voltage rises at full charge to prevent overcharging? This...

I'm putting in a new panel in my Open Cirrus. Mainly cleaning up and reinstalling until I can afford to upgrade. The ship came with a Wendezeiger Wz-402/2, 6 degree/sec, SAE Spec. AS -395 A, Turn and Bank. The back plate indicates it is a 4 volt unit. Does anyone have information or experience...

To see the final results of the Free State Regionals 2006, just follow the link from : http://www.sssa.org.za It would seem that a splendid time was had by all.

This is just a data point for those having problems with OLC files. I last evening I downloaded a 4 hour flight logged at a 4 second intervals. The secure .igc file downloaded in 12 seconds. The VL took 45 seconds to 'calculate the key' before starting the download. The high-speed serial port...

Does anyone have a CAD version of the Discus CS panel? I have a new panel and would like to arrange my instruments on computer before cutting. I guess it's a long shot that anyone will have an e-layout of the panel but just thought I'd ask.

My CFI recommended I pick up an FAA publication, and study it to prepare for the written test: "Private Pilot Test Prep 2006 : Study and Prepare for the Recreational and Private Airplane, Helicopter, Gyroplane, Glider, Balloon, and Airship FAA Knowledge Exams (Test Prep series)" Now, some of these...

I guess Murphy's Law has kicked in. Last week I received SOARING and we where not listed in the Calendar and now this. We have been told by our webmaster that the hosting company's main server has had a hardware failure. He has now set up a link with the contest information on his website. Here...

Looking perhaps for a tail dolly that could fit on a G102 III b, to save making one. --MHYGA

I am researching the film 'The Sun Ship Game' which featured George Moffat and Gleb Derujinsky in the 1969 Sugarbush Regionals in Vermont and the 1969 US Nationals in Marfa. I would appreciate any recollections of these two contests and their filming and would especially like photographs. Can...

What are the pros and cons of putting my Schweizer glider under the Experimental Catagory? With recent trouble in getting parts etc., it seems to me that is might make some things easier.
