Becker likes to use slide locks for the db25 connector on the back of the radio. The ar3201 has a circular pin slide lock - the ar4201 a different locking "hook" hardware set. Does anyone have a source for such hardware? I've looked in mouser and other online catalogs, but all I find are the...

Is there any way to "decouple" the S80? That is, get it to display one Macready setting for speed to fly while showing another (higher) macready setting for required altitude to destination? I don't see a way to do it but hopefully I'm missing something. I like the vario so much my willingness to...

Ok. Thats alot of stuff in one title. I was at a camp in Salida last week and fellow Soaring pilot Doug Levy encouraged me to load up the Skysight weather on my Oudie everyday. I was using the convergence and winds aloft features. I was really impressed! While not perfect everyday it was/ is dang...

The orginal paper published 74 1 JULY 2016 • VOL 353 ISSUE 6294 sciencemag.org SCIENCE has a lot more information. For example, their observed L/D was 23.6-19.1 between 500-700 m, but 14.3-11.7 at higher altitudes. I'm still trying to figure out how they stay aloft at night. A Tasty...

Hello, Does anyone know if NJ applies a sales tax on used gliders that are purchased out of state. I know there is a sales tax at motor vehicles when the trailer is registered. Thanks

Can anyone help please with a contact e-mail ID for any member of the development team who built this excellent product. None of the Stransim site e-mail links work - mail is always "administratively rejected" - whatever that means. Many thanks DJR

I need to make a new section of the canopy on the Cherokee. Its a pretty simple bend, not really a compound curve or anything. But I dont know anything about how to do it. I suspect that I need to heat the plexi up and then weight it to bend, repeat as necessary? Im sure that several of us have...
