While I was bookmarking the Antares I looked at my nearby link to www.stemme.com and found that it now points to http://www.scripophily.net/, which sells antique financial instruments. Question: has anything happened to Stemme or has their URL been hijacked? -- martin@ | Martin...

Hi, At the local club there is a number of older Electronic Cambridge Varios hanging round. Some are supposed to be working but they have been pulled out and the wiring harness lost. They have a small multipin blue socket on the back, and a plain face with no switches or knobs. The model numbers...

The Grand Prix concept is obviously growing fast. The GP2005 has just ended and about 6 months later the GP2006 is held in NZ with rather hefty price tags for visitors. http://www.gp06.com/tickets.htm Is this a new trent in soaring contests?

Some time in the past few weeks I ran into an article that had reasons for soaring pilots to use "Oxygen saturation meters". For the life of me, I can't find where I saw that article. It mentioned things like not breathing correctly, poor lungs to begin with, etc. Have looked in the last Soaring...

Happy birthday, soaring. The "first" soaring flight was the 9 minutes and 45 seconds of hovering over Kitty Hawk dunes by Orville Wright, in the Wright "No. 5" glider on October 24, 1911. This was no milestone on the way to powered flight, "started" on December 17, 1903 (by Orville also,...

I have one to add. Earlier this year, I landed in a very big field next to a council-owned housing estate in South Yorkshire, UK. After landing safely, I noticed that the field contained young pea plants. No problem, I thought. I'll just be careful as I walk out of the field. They were so small...

Great guy. Great service. Best web site in the business. Prices not always the best, but always reasonable when they're not. I want to plug Tim Mara too, who also posts here now and then. Similar reasons (Paul has a better web page, Tim gets the nod on selection and prices imho). Both gentlemen...

I have a Ka6 CR-PE (SN 6310) wreck if anyone is looking for Ka6 bits. The glider caught a bush landing in a field and cartwheeled. The right wing is OK, the left wing has the tip broken, but I believe is repairable. The fuselage is broken in front of the empennage and the nose cone is...
