Slap-On Sun Visor by jeplane
You find them at Sportys or auto parts for example. Easy to apply-just "slap on" and they stay put. Use it over and over just by peeling off and slapping on again. Have you guys found this type of visor easy to use? If not, what do you use to protect yourself under your...

Cessna 182 Tost 337? by [email protected]
I've had a Schweitzer tow hook jam on a Cessna 182. As we are about to put a tow hook on another Cessna 182, I would really prefer a Tost (like we have on the Pawnee and the Maule), for safety and so that we can share the same tow rope. :-) Does anyone know of a Tost 337 or STC for a Cessna...

C182 tow hook arrangement? by [email protected]
I'm looking for a way to put a Tost release mechanism on a C182R. We have a Tost release on the Pawnee, and it looks so much more robust than the Schweitzer mechanism. Wings and Wheels has the Tost arrangement for C172 and Maule, but in Colorado, Civil Air Patrol has neither of those...

Winch operations in MN? by [email protected]
My understanding is that Frank Whiteley and Bill Daniels qualified a commercial operator and several local pilots/CFIs on winch operations somewhere in Minnesota. Please tell me which airport and operator contact info? Were any of you there? Have you heard about this?

What percentage of USA glider pilots compete? by Jeremy Zawodny
I'm curious to know if anyone knows what percentage of USA based glider pilots fly in official contests (less formal individual club contests are less interesting to me). If I were to use my personal contacts (the pilots I fly with), I'd put the number around 10-15% but given the amount of...
