Warning by
Hans Disma
Some time ago I bought a used Bohli mechanical variometer ( over 15 years
old ) for $ 400 from a certain Mr. Bill Daniels in " good condition " The
photo he did send me showed only the back (!) of the instrument. I received
the instrument DOA; poorly packed, broken glass, in other words useless....

Warning Online Contest Registration by
Snead1
I just finished registering for three contests online through the SAA site.
While still on line I received an e-mail titled "On Line Registration". When
I opened the e-mail it had nothing to do the soaring contests. Hope I did not
pick up a virus!

Warning to users of Zaon PCAS MRX by
Bruno[_2_]
I have debated for a few months if I really should post this or not
but think I should share my experience. First, I LOVE the concept of
the PCAS MRX and I have received nothing short of exceptional customer
service from Zaon. I also would strongly recommend to every pilot to
purchase one of...

Warning:Off-topic, iPhone opinions solicited by
Stewart Kissel
Sailplane pilots seem to have high techno-geek standings.
I have been watching with curiosity/amusement the
media frenzy over this device. Cell phones are quite
useful for many of us, and particularly for retrieves(when
we have coverage!).
So is this device clever marketing by Steve Jobs, or

some lawyer stuff for free. I have met many very interesting people
since I got involved with soaring, most with technical background of
some sort but certainly not all by a long shot. What I haven't met are

washing the parachute's sheepskin pad by

The Region One contest last week suffered hot humid weather and we sweated a LOT. The sheepskin (?) snap-on pad on my Softy long 'chute smelled really bad afterwards, so I hand-washed it in cold water with Woolite detergent. It's somewhat better now (takes forever to hang-dry!) but still smells...
