Still no SPOT Rebate from Christmas by
Barny
Has anyone received their $50 rebate from the pre-xmas offer? Is the
envelope obvious enough to catch one's attention? The third party
rebate status website SPOT uses continues to show mine as
"processing".
This is my last rebate purchase, too many bruises from kicking myself.

the frame. One...

Barny
After about 50 flights with a SN10 and having RTFM many times plus
testing with the PC version, I have a couple questions:
1) When I turn to the Alternates page, instead of showing the #1 & #2
closest airports, it shows arbitrary airports, perhaps ones that I've
previously selected on other...

SN10B help button causes power loss by
Barny
A year ago I sent my Illec to Germany to replace the volume/power knob
that was causing a false "battery low" warning and per Dave this was a
known issue caused by customers installing/removing the knob screw w/o
preventing the knob from rotating against the stops.
Today's issue: When I press...

winglets by

OK, I can get the theory (OR can I?) with winglets to reduce wingtip vortices.
