Cal(E)fornia has a new Gov(E)nator by JJ Sinclair
Arnold has sworn to repeal the tripling of our car tax, so we will still be able to drive to the gliderport. So there, It's about soaring! No hate mail, please. I hear N(E)vade is working on a new Governator also. :) JJ Sinclair

Volkslogger wiring by POP_Server=pop.clara.net
Does anyone have the pin out for the older style Volkslogger plug that used the 5 pin screw on plug assembly. The manual only refers to a colour code factory lead. Many thanks Martin Carolan

Garmin by Lord Struthers
My Etrex Vista has a final glide program. Has anyone used this program, if so how did you set it up? There isn't anything written on or off line, and the techs are a little vague. Rich

Where to go for Diamond Altitude ? U.S. by Mark Zivley
With local cloudbase rarely over 7k, I'm going to have to go somewhere else for Diamond Altitude. I figure I might as well freeze someone else's gelcoat so I'm looking for a commercial operation, preferably someplace close to an airport served by Southwest Airlines. Thanks for the advice and note...

Assymbly Wing Insertion Order Question by Tony Verhulst
I have seen many ship's assembly procedures that dictate the "non" forked spar be inserted first, then the forked spar. This seems counter intuitive (to me), and must be for a reason. Anyone know what that reason is? The owner didn't read the flight manual. I know the owner (LS4-b) and...

Pegase (Pegasus) 101A....opinions? by Gary Evans
Good glider, performance and value. Wing flex provides a smooth ride. Centrair is still in business and parts are available. The only down side to me was with the CG tow hook which needs a fast start to gain rudder control. At 00:42 07 October 2003, David Mesh wrote: Half a share in a Pegase...

History of Contest Scoring by Bill Feldbaumer
Recent discussions about contest scoring have shown that it might be beneficial to review the history of contest scoring in the U.S. Here is a very brief overview. The first U.S. National Soaring Championship was held at Elmira, New York, seventy-three years ago. Three tasks were used:...

"Pan turbulence" by Martin Gregorie
Some time back I saw a magazine article about something mysterious called "pan turbulence" that bit airliners in clear air, often somewhere in the middle of the USA. Could this have been plain old rotor by any chance? I was reminded to ask this by the message about the "Rodeo In The Sky" TV...

Dittel radio Q by ken ward
I have one of the older rectangular box Dittels. They slide into a tray which mounts to the panel. To secure the radio box to the tray, there's a screw which pivots a little aluminum tab into a locking position. My aluminum tab is stripped out. Where can I get a replacement? I guess I could...

Gravity launch by Mark James Boyd
I'm wondering if anyone regularly rolls gliders down a cliff for launch. I was thinking that a suitable slope off the edge of a cliff would work just as well as any tow/winch/auto/bungee/rotax. And if there is reliable lift nearby, you can come back and land. I know this is commonly done with...

WAX ? by JJ Sinclair
I'm new to this sport and have a few questions about waxing my ship. Some say NEVER wax because if you ever get wet, you will come down like a STONE. Others say you MUST wax to ward off the TERRIBLE affects of moisture and UV. I'm confused, can anyone help? One more thing, what kind of wax is BEST...
