Hi, I managed to wipe out all the software on my primary and backup PDA's (long story - don't ask) and I am now trying to figure out which CAI302 utility should be installed on which PDA: Primary PDA: HP4705 with Windows Mobile V5 Backup PDA: IPAQ 3835 with Windows CE 3.0 From the description...

I was thinking we really needed one to test fly flights. Did a search and found this: Google Earth's Hidden Surprise: A Flight Simulator Duncan Riley http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/08/31/google-earths-easter-egg-a-flight-simulator/ We've always known that Google has wanted to challenge...

Hi all, My question is, My husband is in the process of getting a standard AWC for his imported, into the US, Dimona H36 TMG. He applied to have it certificated as a glider (powered), but our FAA inspectors want to put Utility on the AWC because that's what's on the type certificate. Does this...

Good evening, I was just wondering what other clubs where charging for tows and dues.I just wanted to see where we are compared to other clubs. We have 25 members with 3 gliders and a Pawnee. There are 9 privately owned gliders. Our dues are $50 per month of which $10 goes for an engine fund. Our...

New people always ask about release altitudes. The more relevant question is the rate of launches. We learn to fly and gain proficiency through repetition, we gain altitude in thermals. Ever ask the guy doing pattern work in a 172 how high he got? For most licensed pilots I think the release...

So I'm headed to Moariarty from TN with my 20 in tow in June. I have an older komet trailer, for which I had just gotten new tires, which I have yet to put on. I took the trailer to a shop locally to have the surge breaks adjusted, tires put on, and bearings repacked. After about an hour they...

Am considering buying a PW-5 as my first single-seater for a variety of reasons, but the one aspect I don't like is that in rough air the tail is easily pitched up in flight from unexpected gusts once I'm off tow. This one's been weighed & balanced recently and its CG is perfectly centered within...

We're making a new winch drum. The flanges on our drum bent out a little when moving from steel to Spectra line. I'd like to know the dimensions and structure of any drums/flanges that have failed, or shown signs of failing, and with what length and type of line. Please pass this on to anyone...

I am holding in my hot little hand a letter from Jacqueline Jambor, a Manager with the FAA's Project Support Branch, ACE-112. It states that the FAA has accepted the request submitted by my friend and hangar partner, airshow pilot Bob Carlton, for a Global Alternate Method Of Compliance (AMOC) that...

Anyone looking at developing an XCSoar on a Nook ST system could look out for this deal on Black Friday. http://shopping.yahoo.com/blogs/digital-crave/black-friday-deals-electronics-234251773.html Any news on an XCSoar greyscale version for E-ink readers? Bob

I'm looking to develop a standard O2 cylinder installation for the HP-24 sailplane kit, and I'm curious what size cylinders people generally have installed these days. These days a lot of folks seem to be using EDS systems which seem to offer very good efficiency at turning pressurized gas into...

Hi, I don't believe you can switch languages without sending it back to the factory. The reason I think that is true is that they sell several versions of the GPS-NAV display. One in English, one in German, one in Italian, etc. However, I've never gone through that process, so I'm not...

Hi all, I'm looking for a JS1 or ASG29 for the WGC in Uvalde next year. I fly a 29(E) back home and it is available as an exchange if that option suits you. regards David Jansen (4D) Australia

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...

Thanks to all who replied either in ras or by email. No 'mechanical or electrical' intervention happened before this problem manifested itself, so I think we're left with looking at a fuel line blockage somewhere that results in such a degree of negative pressure that fuel is still drawn from the...

I had a chance to meet him after his horse riding accident...and we chatted about soaring. He had a very positive attitude about the direction things were heading for him. http://acro.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/awards.pl
