The SSA "Where to Fly" feature shows Bend and North Plains in Oregon, Evergreen, Enumclaw, Wenatchee, Ephrata and Spokane in WA, and nothing in southern Idaho. Are any of these operations private clubs, or closed during the week in the summer? Are there any everyday tow operations not listed? (I...

The Region 3 Contest was just canceled in Dansville when 5 people within the last week of the contest withdrew. Doesn't sound like a big deal but when you only have 20 pilots signed up, its a huge deal. Now reading Charlie “Lite” Minner 's Region 9N report, they had 20 pilots bail out of the...

USAF Request For Proposal: FA8617-10-R-6210 They need approximately 20 new gliders, several trailers, support equipment, spares and contract maintenance, for delivery at Colorado Springs, CO (USA) in the next two years.

I caught the last few seconds of a report from a C. Springs TV station last night. So stunned to actually see gliders on TV I didn't catch the full gist of the story. Here's the Gazette's http://www.gazette.com/display.php?sid=899540 Makes me wonder why club owned Blaniks aren't falling out of...

Look at this, a 1.35-million-square-foot landing area for $3.6 million. The new DG-1000's will have nice smooth landings, if the students get it right! I do not want to take anything away from the USAFA but why can't the SSA Chapters get some money from the government? It would be a very...

Jeff over at Cambridge did not say what type of USB cable was necessary to download the files but there are different types of USB cables. I have a USB to...

FYI, recently I upgraded my notebook to Windows 7 64bit. I've found a good reliable USB serial convertor that works "out of the box" on Windows 7 even the 64 bit version. USB to Serial Adapter - Mini PRO -...

Does anyone know of a USB-to-Compaq Aero 1550 cable? I would like to avoid the USB-to-Serial Cable and the plug the Serial end into the cradle. Likewise, does anyone know if any of the Compaq IPAQ connectors fit the Aero 15xx? Thanks, Ira

Hi, I have a friend that has an LX Colibri (the older model without a USB connector) and he is having a tough time getting it connected to his new laptop. The manual I found online for the laptop does not show it having a PC Card (PCMCIA card) slot or an ExpressCard slot. I have had the best...

After several days trying to get Windows 7 64 bit to connect to an SN10 via a USB to Serial adapter (Dynex), here is what finally worked great. Posting this so folks don't have to go through discovery. USB to Serial Adapter made by Keyspan (model USA-19HS) with Keyspan Windows 7 driver. SN10B...

Can anyone recommend a USB to Serial Converter that works for communication with with the Ilec SN10 Thanks John

I have a iPAQ 1915 with a normal USB-synchronisationcable. Is it possible to connect my Colibri-logger to GlideNav or gpslog or any kind of PDA-program with this cable or do i need a serial cable to get this done? (And wich will be the problem? Making the cable or is it a software...

OK, this may sound silly, but can you report either good or bad experiences with a SPECIFIC MAKE AND MODEL of USB-to-serial converter ? We have many reports of units that don't work properly, and a few that do (but not necessarily for everyone). A few specific questions: - what is the make and...
