Towing by
Roger Fowler
I recently rode with a towpilot who leaned the engine
aggresively after retarding throttle at the start of
the descent. While he is probably correct that it

this procedure?

Flight Recorder for SSA Badges by
Carl6703[_2_]
I would like to retire our old Barographs and replace them with a
portable Flight Recorder that could be rented to candidates for SSA
badges. Does anyone have any suggestions for a portable flight
recorder which would meet the badge requirements? Thanks.

figure as long as I keep the beer...

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
