Laister LP-49 TE and polar info by Jim Meade
I have a Laister LP-49 and am looking for a polar graph for it. I would also like to talk to anyone who has added a total energy probe to the vario on this glider. It has metal flight surfaces and a plastic body with solid bulkheads. Might be a trick to plumb the line from the vertical stab.

Maiden flight, N888LP LP-49 Glider by Jim Meade
Today was the maiden flight of N888LP, the LP-49 experimental glider built by Walt Bybee and purchased by me earlier this year. It flew like a dream. Walt did a superb job of building it. The first flight was a tow to 3,000 AGL on a poor lift day. It was very well behaved on tow. After...

Any AC-4/5 “Russia” owners out there? by Jim M[_2_]
I’m a new owner looking for some tips and tricks. Here’s a couple of questions for starters: -What breaks first, and how do I fix it before that happens? -Is there an easy way to replace the main wheel/brake with something better? -I have two pitot sources, why? Thanks! Jim

Cessna 182 as a Tow Plane? by Jim Newton
I would like like comment on whether it is a good idea to use a Continental powered C182 as a tow ship that would be mainly used to tow the Schweizer 2-33 at sea level airports. I content that the tow speed would not be comfortable for a 2-33 and that overheating of the continental engine would be...

Jet turbine reliability by Jim Pengelly
I'm considering ordering a JS1-C TJ with the jet turbine. A potential syndicate partner is concerned about the reliability of jet turbines from a 'will it start' point of view and a repair cost point of view. I imagine electric turbos are going to be more reliable because of the relative...

1 Attachment(s) Ventus bT/cT comparison by Jim Pengelly
Hi everyone, I fly a Discus bT at the moment and absolutely love it. However, I am thinking of upgrading to a flapped turbo in the next one or two seasons and the Ventus bT/cT would seem to be the natural choice. I have heard conflicting opinions about the various models: i) The bT has...

iPhone app with handwriting recognition to digitise my logbook? by Jim Pengelly
I need to quickly digitise my logbook so that I can mine some information from it for a...erm...field landing accident report :( Rather than do it all on paper or type it into a spreadsheet I'm thinking that there may be an app that can help? Any help appreciated.

Pawnee PA 235 MOH Numbers? by Jim Phoenix
Whoops! I missed Note 1 in the SI - make sure the engine has 1/2" valves, otherwise, the TBO is 1200. Most likely it does. Jim "MHende6388" wrote in message ... For the B2B3 engine is it 1500 hours or 2000 hours for major...

Parts Needed by Jim Phoenix
The 2-22 rudder is perfectly and physically identical to a 1-26 round tail rudder. They may even be the same part number. I would suspect the vertical is the same as well, but I have not personally verified the verticals. Try www.126association.org Jim "7Zulu" wrote in...

FAA publication Glider Flying Handbook by Jim Phoenix
I just received a copy of the FAA publication titled "Glider Flying Handbook" - publication number FAA-H-8083-13. Updated in 2003.
