I am looking for someone to tow a Cobra trailer (with sailplane) from Los Angeles area to north Georgia (for compensation of course). Please call 408 829-5519 or email thanks, Key Dismukes

I am curious what group members with experience with self-launchers regard as the best propulsion system (currently) in terms of in-flight restart reliability, maintenance, safety, and other operational factors (e.g., vibration). Of course the electric Antares might win on all counts except for...

Questions for those of you with later model (extruded aluminum sides) Komet trailers. On mine the tongue clunks when braking moderately or starting to roll as the tongue takes up slack--is this normal? Also, the hitch rotates to the right as far as it can go when trailering--is this normal? ...

Does anyone out there have experience with the PiK20E and/or PiK30? What can you tell me about their performance as a sailplane and about the reliability of the engine? thanks! Key

Looking for a Transflex 02 transponder antenna for my Discus-2T. Don't see any at W&W or Cumulus. Does anyone in the US offer this antenna? thanks, Bob Kibby Discus-2T N722BK

Hi Jonathan- I assume that by the "ASA" you mean the Arizona Soaring Association and our basically unamimous voice against the "15 minute rule" and the one mile cylinder. First of all I don't understand the point that you are making since in your opening statement you say that "the contest was...

Last time I needed to replace a canopy strut (years ago on another glider) someone suggested using an automotive strut made for the back doors of cars. They would obviously be easier to obtain but does anyone have any info re lengths or strengths of these gas struts? I need it for an...

Some interesting comparisons were recently pointed out to me from a British friend between the European and US tasking. It seems that more emphasis is placed upon distance in Europe to the point that we in the US would view it as impossible task calls. One only has to look at the World...

Anyone know of a way to get the UK Smokin' clip on CDROM or DVD? It would be great to have a hi-res version of it. Also are those guys doing any more video? Just getting lonely during the winter time....even though we're still hitting 100 degrees in Arizona! Stable air sucks. Casey...

Anyone have info re the glider ops at Ely, NV this summer i.e. towplane availability? I assume that Carl Herold knows so if someone has his phone or e-mail please contact me privately. Thanks, Casey Lenox KC Phoenix

Has anyone done calculations for takeoff distances for various density altitudes, weights and winds for their sailplane-towplane combination? Every powered plane POH has a table but there are none in the glider books for obvious reasons (HP of towplane for one). The Arizona Soaring Assn flies...

It may be of interest to some to watch the happenings of what is going on wrt Luke AFB in Arizona and their impression of our holding a contest here for 6 days that will involve traversing some MOA's. It seems that their commander pretty much feels that we really don't belong there and are a clear...

Anyone have a link to this video? The links on various websites (Cumulus, OzPilots) don't seem to work currently. There is an acro video available but that is not the one I'm looking for. Casey Lenox KC Phoenix

US folks....anyone seen a regional contest begin with the practice day and mandatory pilots meeting on a Friday with the first contest day on Saturday? Casey Lenox KC Phoenix

In Arizona we land on runways with lots of rocks. Rocks probably help to create some of our awesome conditions but they really do a spanking on the gelcoat. My LS-8 has a fiberglass tail fairing....compound curves and part of the tail overall. The rocks are thrown into it from the front and...
