Howdy - My friend and former undergrad advisor is looking for an aerial photo of a dust devil or dust devils for a project he's working on. The word "aerial" is key. There are lots of photos on the web from the ground. There also exist photos of Martian dust devils, but he's looking for...

Some like to clear the Cambridge 302 flights logs periodically as it is reputed to prevent the file security issue. This can be done with a laptop PC using hyperterm or similar. Since the my PDA is already connected to the 302 it would seem much more convenient to use it than to connect a...

Any one out there got the pinout for the AERO 1520 serial port connector? I have looked but can't find it in the archives. Tia Jon

I need some help with the the Aero 1530 (CE 2.11). A bit strange for me I know since I'm the one usually giving help with this PDA. I'm guessing many of the folks that still use this ancient device are sailplane pilots, hence the post here. I'm stuck with a corrupted contacts file. It displays...

Is there a version of XCSoar that is compatible with the Compaq Aero 1550 (MIPS R4111, CE 3.0). Is so, is it available for download? I have downloaded Installxcsoar-ppc2002.exe. It installs ok but returns the error "not a valid Windows CE application" when atempting to run it. Don't want to...

Question: At what point should the glider pilot release from the aero retrieve? I, not wanting to land out more than once on any given day, prefer to consider the tow pilot and make sure HE or SHE is within gliding distance of the target airport before releasing. Just wondering what the proper...

I have a tow hook, with a Husky A1-B attached, based at Minden, Nevada. If you are flying out of Truckee, Minden or nearby, you might keep my number handy for the occasional aero retrieve should you find yourself in a bind and all else has failed. (i.e. you have tried all the commercial...

I need a detailed spreadsheet or work-up on tow plane costs. Anybody have one?

I've personally had two near misses with this scenario and I have seen two more just in the last 5 years. We need to make clear that if the tuggie wants to abort on the runway, he should maintain speed and continue to the end doing whatever neccessary to get out of the glider's...
