I need to replace the surge brake damper on my 1986 Komet III trailer. I'm wondering if someone out in ras land has a part number (or equivalent) and replacement instructions. It appears that Entec, the former Komet US representative, is no longer active. I've seen Bruce Greeff's write up for...

An advertisement in QST magazine caught my eye and I wonder if some one has used something similar to this in gliders(we don't need 25 Amps at 12 Volts): http://www.mfjenterprises.com/Product.php?productid=MFJ-4416B The idea is to keep the voltage supplied to your electrics constant even if the...

be ready to pass the FAA test next spring when operations resume. Searching for instructional material, I found : http://www.falcontrainingsystems.com/ggs/ and was curious what opinions might be out there? Has anyone used this training material before? It appears to me that I could...

I have seen many ship's assembly procedures that dictate the "non" forked spar be inserted first, then the forked spar. This seems counter intuitive (to me), and must be for a reason. Anyone know what that reason is? The owner didn't read the flight manual. I know the owner (LS4-b) and...

I apologize. This was meant to be sent to an individual. I'll go shoot myself now :-) Tony V.

York Soaring has an excellent "what is soaring" on their web site. Unfortunately, the web site, http://www.yorksoaring.com/, has been out of action for a few weeks. Does any one know when (or if) it will be back up - or if there's al alternate URL? thanx Tony V.

I understand how to determine the CG from the charts in the manual. But, I would like to do it the traditional way - you know, moment = arm * weight.... The manual does not provide the arm numbers for the various positions, not does it tell you the numeric CG range. A bit odd, I think, but...

I've heard a rumor that the FAA has gotten an exemption from the Freedom of Information Act and will shortly no longer be required to release the knowledge test question database. Can anyone confirm this? Tony V. "6N"

The NPRM on the parachute repacking cycle comment period is open through August 20, 2007. This change would extend the parachute repack cycle from 120-days to 180-days. Note that your comments (apart from what is stated in the copy on the SSA web site) may be made online. You do not have to...

There does not appear to be anything wrong with the integrated flash memory but has anbody had problems with the internal RAM backup power battery failing on this unit?

Could anyone point me towards a schematic of the fsg71m? It TX's and RX's ok, the problem is audio feedback when it is on standby. I have turned the sidetone pot all the way down to no avail. Anyone any ideas? Thanks Tony

Has anyone any info of an existing Tost winch installation where the main battery was moved. Our battery is located where the winch is supposed to be. We need to move the battery to in front of the hopper (as in the 235D model). This is proving to be something of a paperwork nightmare, if it's been...
