Last summer my IPAQ connected to my PC no problem. After resting for the winter the IPAQ no longer connects to my PC. (It was kept charged all winter) When I plug into the USB, the XP system tray shows the USB device being installed and then says your device is ready to use. The IPAQ shows the...

Probably a naive question but wouldnt using assigned area tasks even things up for gliders at the top and bottom end of the handicaps?

Another style more widely used in the entertainment/movie industry is called Cloth Backed Gaffers Tape. It features a strong cloth backing, not plastic and a better adhesive. It will not turn to mush and leave gobs of hard to clean off adhesive all over your finish. Its available in a number of...

Wish there was room for what you were all thinking... ;) I pulled the water bags out of my ASW-20B to inspect them for the first time and I was just curious what they even looked like. To my horror I saw that the string on my second wing was broken. The end of the world! I decided to pull the...
