Thanks,

Electric Tarus - super bird or gliding's 787? by
Bob
About this time last year the gliding world, at least in print, was
gaga over the Electric Tarus, and since then there has been total
silence. What I read caught my fancy, and a friend in Durango, CO had
one on order. But, before his ever came in, he was killed in the
crash of a gas-powered...

forecast for Tucson sure looks chilly. http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/twc/aviation/PHXWRKSRG.php

Help Casio E100 by
Bob
I have a Casio E100 (Wife's old PDA) running CE 2.11. It has 16 meg of
memory.
I would like to use it to (at least) download the flight files from an
LX5000. I would love to use this as a cockpit management system. Any
ideas.

FAA Exemption Letter (USA) by
Bob 7U
I haven't heard anything in a few years about the requirement to carry
an FAA Exemption letter in the cockpit. Is it still a requirement or
has common sense prevailed?
The latest info I could find on the SSA web site only extends the
exemption until October 2008.
Thanks,

Becker & Headsets by
Bob 7U
Hi,
I have a Becker 3201, connected to a Becker Speaker box (1PL 042) that
has two DIN sockets. One is currently being use by the Mic and the
other I believe is for a headset.
Any ideas where I can get a lightweight headset with the DIN
connection?
Thanks,
