I'm starting a new thread on this topic as the old one sort of drifted off-topic and its conclusions don't seem to reflect what I've found... I have a Zaon MRX which is *using external ship's power* which is causing radio interference. I know it's the Zaon because when the radio goes to static,...

Looks like they lost all the old historic RAS posts. I was a useful reference that is now gone :(

I haven't been able to get to the spot tracking pages for sports class nationals for a few days. The spot-tracking.com server seems not to respond. Has anyone else had this problem? Or is it just a little message from my dean to stop goofing off at the office and get back to work? Thanks John...

So, a few years back, there was a spate of undercarriage collapses on LS 6 sailplanes and a Technical Bulletin was issued by the LBA on how to fix the problem. http://www.dg-flugzeugbau.de/Data/TM-LS/LS6/TM6012.pdf Does anyone know if the suggested replacement part for the gas strut (4R2-111) is...

A rare opportunity to purchase this classic gilder. She has been very well looked after and flies like a dream. She has very low hours and launches (845 Hours & 361 launches as of May 2009). She has her original Gel coat, which is in very good condition. The flaps give good slow speed handling in...

I posted yesterday and did not see it on RAS.. a repost. I realize I have posted this question before. Pawnee Tail inspection AD 2007-08-07. I realize that some clubs/operators have applied for an "alternate means of compliance". Has anyone ordered the permanent fix replacement parts from...

I'd like to hear from people who submit logs to OLC using a recorder that has no ENL (Engine Noise Level) capability and produces a log with no ENL data. Does OLC automatically determine the start of soaring flight, or do you always have to set it manually? If OLC does it automatically, how often...

Last time out (first time in 3 years for the 302 to be used) the 302 was massively over reading double / triple the actual lift/sink. The Beepy thing beeped at the right times but it was readying 20knots on the averager while climbing at 8knots actual on the Sage. Turning to the altimeter and ASI...

I've been getting a fair number of e-mails requesting information on such things as the cost to rent a helicopter, cost to get a sport pilot license, cost of a Light Sport Aircraft etc. They are oddly worded leading me to believe that English is not the senders (just a first name) native language....

Hi, Well you may have read about a new version of the SPOT coming out in a few months. But there is currently a very good deal going on for the existing units. But the rebate program ends on August 3rd. You must order the unit on or before August 3rd. There are several rebate options, but...

Our weather in central Texas is the best it's been in 10 years. I can only hope it'll hold up through the week of the upcoming Region 10 South Soaring Championship (Aug 9-15th). For the last 5 weeks we've had a number of members with Greater Houston Soaring and Soaring Club of Houston (the contest...
