Survival Kits by

I am a big believer in having some form of survival kit in my glider.
Even in the "wilds" of the midwest I can get stuck outside for a while

LiFePO4 Batteries by
vontresc
So I am in the market for a new battery for my Libelle. I was thinking it might be time to upgrade to a LiFePO4 battery.
Any recommendations/reviews from the community? I've seen people using the K2 and Stark Power batteries. Any preference between the two?
Thanks

Well I finally got out in my (new to me anyways) Ka-6 the other day,

My apologies to the Usenet police cross posting but
I am in mourning for friends lost, and in sympathy for the families they
left alone.
This week we have seen behavior that can only be described as reckless.
