Posting for a friend whos Ventus CM muffler has failed. Needed urgently a replacement muffler for Ventus CM preferably in USA. Please contact Geoff Loyns 775 267 1982 or reply to me on this posting email Thanks Al

I fly an ASW-28. The under-surface of the wing has a nice little piece of plastic that covers the dump valve and which is hinged by a piece of cloth tape. When flying with water ballast my assumption is that correct procedure is to leave the piece of plastic in place, but open and hanging down from...

anyone ever re-packed the whell bearings on a Komet trailer? I don't know when this was last done on my trailer but I'm thinking it's something I should do this winter. Dan

Can anybody suggest a suitable solvent for removing the adhesive. So far i`ve used Acetone and it`s only 50% successful.

Greetings, Installed my new Trig and TN72 and today when I powered up both my Flarm and the Trig, the Flarmview reported my own ADSB Out signal as a ADSB target. PowerFlarm Core - 6.42 Firmware Flarmview - 2.39 Firmware Flarm Config ID shows identical to ADSB Out ID FlarmView is showing my...

I'm headed to Elmira in 3 weeks for the Std. Nats and want to know what my options are for getting FLARM equipped. I missed a few seasons so tracked the whole PowerFLARM revolution via RAS. Not excited about buying one just yet. I understand there were some early units for rent at one time....

As the owner of a "new" 1985 DG-400, registered Experimental Exhibition/Racing, I'm trying to get a handle on what the FARs require. I have a mercifully short, ten-point set of Operating Limitations issued in 1989. Paragraph 4 states "The cognizant FAA Flight Standards District Office must be...

Hello. As part of the investigation into the recent fatal crash of Greater Houston Soaring Association's IS28-B2 "Lark" glider, the NTSB has asked for our help in putting them in touch with operators of this type. They would like to verify our weight and balance data by collecting weight ...

Follow up from another thread: All: Under the presumption that a legitimate purpose of this forum is to pass along pertinent information relating to the art and science of soaring, and realizing that the pursuit and achievement of badges and records is thereto related,

hello all, I am thinking of replacing a K-7 elevator and possible the whole horizontal stab + elevator with one from a K-13. I guess I will be asking Scleicher if such action is approved, but are there any oppinions out there about it ? has it been done before ? incidentally, can you do the...

Hi, A little over 2 years ago I created a series of short training videos for glider pilots related to the use of Pocket PCs. The CD containing all the videos has sold quite well. I have now made low resolution (320 x 240 pixels) versions of all the Pocket PC Training videos available online...

Hi pilots, I know this subject has been discussed in the past but I am not sure if this particular issue has come up. I run a CAI 302 which drives both Winpilot Pro and a 303 head. The wind speed and directions are often differing by large margins on these two displays even though they must be...

I notice that a Schweizer 2-32 with a published L/D of 33 is handicapped at 1.500. This seems like a great bargain, the same as a Falke SF-25C at 1.500 but with only about 22 L/D. Are there other equally great deals out there ? Or any outstandingly heavily handicapped types ? Ian

Many people suggest a large benefit for student power pilots to fly some dual in a glider and similarly many parts of successful glider piloting can be more cost effectively learned in a power plane. As an example, it is cheaper to do multiple landings in a power plane when learning to land. Do...

Dates for cup are 19 November till 27 November 2005 a.. www.narromineglidingclub.com.au Anyone else got any other dates yet for state comps or National comps ? Thanks Mal

Thanks to Hurricane Francis, we recently (involuntarily) spent 7 days disconnected from the South Florida power grid. Even though we were far more prepared than our neighbors, it was an uncomfortable experience but we learned a bunch. Our Equipment: Coleman Fluorescent lanterns, Cheap battery...
