HANDHELD RADIO by
[email protected]
All,
I have been using a JRC JHP-500 handheld radio for field communications
and have been a bit disappointed with it's performance. It has a
standard 6" flex antenna. When I am in the air and someone tries to
talk with me using the handheld, the transmission always sounds very
weak, even if I am...

Small Altimeter Options for Gliders by
joesimmers
I am going to build a new panel for my glider this winter and would
like to go with all small instruments.
The Altimeter is the only one that I am having trouble deciding on, I
thought I was going to need a "certified" altimeter but recently spoke
to a very reputable source and found out that a...

LX1000 Wiring Diagram by
Luke Roberts
Does anyone have a manual, or wiring diagram for the
Avionic Dittel LX1000 vario. I have one with various
wires hanging off it, but some have been cut off.
A simple numbered chart for the 15 pin (DB15) plug
would be fine.
Thanks, Luke

Grow soaring thru entertainment by
John
Added a similar comment when I filled in the SSA soaring survey.
Want to grow soaring? Market soaring as low-cost entertainment to
generate mass appeal. Develop a commercial gliding site that focuses
on giving rides only, quickly and cheaply.
Look at all the teenagers spending $5-$15 to ride...

Kobo vs Nook by
6PK
I have been running a Kobo Glo for three seasons now and for the most part I'm happy with it. The one problem I had encountered a few times when down low in the heat, the screen tends to fade out but so far every time it recovered-no problem it had never crashed.
I just wondered if anyone...

Motorgliders and gliders in US contests by
Brian Case
The rules say you may not exchange aircraft or even major components.
I belive there is an exception that a component may be replaced with
an exact replacement if the original compenent has been damaged
through no fault of the pilot or crew.
Here are the exact rules for regional contests:

AOA indicator poll. by
Luc Job
Hi!
I have developed last year a solid-state AOA indicator, based on a
differential pressure measurement (total pressure/pressure at angle)
Undoubtedly, this is a primary flight instrument to me:

all the variable parameters:...

Glider Pilot Dress Code by
Ken Kochanski (KK)
So, I had just started to assemble the ship, when my partner rolled
up.
Are you kidding? I would like to get out of the partnership, but that
could be tough ... could I get the FAA to pull his cert? ... after
all, this has to indicate some level of mental imbalance.
You can't even see the worst...

15 M Time Management Nationals by
Kilo Charlie
Hi Jonathan-
I assume that by the "ASA" you mean the Arizona Soaring Association and our
basically unamimous voice against the "15 minute rule" and the one mile
cylinder. First of all I don't understand the point that you are making
since in your opening statement you say that "the contest was...

New Blanik AD by
Eric Munk
To whom it may concern,
EASA has just published a new AD: EASA AD 2010-0185-E.
It grounds all Blaniks with immediate effect, including L-13, L-13A and
all aircraft that passed earlier AD inspections. Reason is that the failed
