I've had two iPAQ 37xx series go on the blink. The touch screen goes haywire. When I try to re align the screen it just goes into a do-loop and never properly re-sets. Sometimes it gets better if I keep it turned off for a few weeks, but that doesn't seem to work now. Any suggestions?

Subject says it all. Discussion in the Mechancal Vario thread led to some suggesting that I should get an antique Piep Audio vario that would plumb in with my current mechanical vario. I think they are right, sounds like just what I need. Anyone have one laying around they want to part with?

Hi All - As I got 1005 points Tuesday at the Seniors, it looks like 2.35 is good to go. The production 2.35 build has now passed flight testing and is generally available. Details at URL below. Pass the word ! http://www.ilec-gmbh.com/software.htm Enjoy ! Best Regards, Dave & Juergen

Folks, I'm after a cheap audio vario for the Pirat, to replace a CAVII. Requirements are (a) cheap (b) 80mm (c) cheap (d) working (e) cheap. Anyone? Ian

The guy made it ! 30Kfeet, 6'carbon wing with winglets on his back. Looked pretty cool to me. Now I wanna see a streamlined body fairing & control surfaces.

If you are just getting started with XC or would like to get better at it, please consider the XC camp being hosted by CCSC in Waynesville, Ohio next June, immediately preceding the CCSC Region 6 South contest. We will have at least four 2-place gliders piloted by experienced XC racers in...

Has anyone figured out a way to submit valid igc files from these devices? For the last few seasons, everything was working fine. This year, about 3 out of every 4 OLC postings produce an invalid status. The OLC folks have been nice enough to fix the log file status, but they cannot continue to do...

I'm being promoted and moved to Clovis, NM. I had thought I would end up in Amarillo or Albuquerque, but the boss said it's Clovis. I flew out of Littlefield in the early '90s in a Region 10 contest, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Is that club, I think it's Caprock Soaring, still active? If not, what...

What is the best way to lube the sliding window in a Mecaplex canopy? Mine is a bit stiff, and I don't want to break it by using too much force. It will slide, but stiffly.

2008 Soaring Seminar Ramada Inn, State College, Pa March 29 & 30 (Saturday and Sunday) Following is a list of outstanding speakers for this year's two-day soaring seminar. There may be additions to this list. The two day seminar is being held at the same location as last year.

Thanks for the feedback on towplanes. We already have a 180Hp Supercub and the 200HP version sounds interesting. Anybody got more info on the 200HP STC? Reason for the high rate of climb is due to large warehouse building newly constructed at the edge of the climbout fan. Extra hight would make...

I recently received my glider insurance renewal and found that while the premium didn't increase much, they eliminated two important areas of coverage. I'd like to hear people's comments. 1) Physical damage to non-owned aircraft - This covers you flying someone else's ship such as a rental...

Anyone know the status of the GGS online ground school.. http://www.falcontrainingsystems.com/ggs/index.htm Website is still there but says closed until 9/1/04. Everything works except the online signup link & I get no email response from them. Thanks, Bill

I just purchased a glider housed in a 2002 Cobra trailer. It came with only one chain (I always use two crossed chains) and the chain is attached to one of the bolts that connects the tongue to the trailer (big honking steel U strap over the tongue inside the trailer). According to the owner this...

Greetings all, Well, the TN72 is to be released shortly, and for those of us with Trig transponders this looks to be a great way to get ADS-B compliant. But... they recommend also buying a phenomenally expensive $300 plus antenna with it. Basically, it's this antenna...

New web layout for OLC, at least on my phone. I liked the old layout, but I balk at change.. Boggs

Hi all! I know this kind of subject is boring and the gliders are old news but I am unable to decide which one to buy hence I am asking for help. There are so many other types but because I don't want to loose myself in too many details, I'd appreciate if you could help me compare this two only....

Does anyone have experience with the WX block product "Speedcoat?" I am impressed by the new "nano" and "crystal" tech coatings that are replacing old school waxes. Here in Georgia we have moisture environmental issues that exacerbate crazing on our gelcoat. I am a fan of the older WX Block & Seal...
