Shortening PowerFLARM Brick Antenna and GPS cables by
kirk.stant
As anyone who has one can testify, the cables on the dipole and GPS antennas that come with a PowerFLARM Brick are absurdly long - you could almost mount the GPS puck on your tail!
Has anyone any experience in shortening these cables and reattaching the connectors, or is there anyone out there who...

FAA Permanently Revokes Pilot's License over ADS-B by
Semantics Michael
Power pilot accused of intentionally turning off ADS-B out to cloak a different infraction (flying under a bridge). This was not a license suspension, it was a life-time revocation by the FAA (After 60yrs of flying, she'll have to start over from scratch). Pilot acknowledges the bridge incident...

Hard wax v/s liquid wax by
FranCP
Hi,
Can hard wax be replaced by liquid wax application? Of course silicon free, as well as other harmfull adds.
Although i've seen guys maintaining their gliders purely on applying liquid wax regularly, i guess it wont seal & protect the gelcoat as well as a good anual hard wax buffing.
¿Any...

Seminole Lake Accident by
[email protected]
Seminole Lake Gliderport had another accident. From what the pictures look like, the left wing of their Blanik L-23 was demolished from mid wing where it bent the leading edge all the way back to the spar.
Not sure what to make of this, if it will be covered up, or will there be an NTSB report. ...

iPhone X and iGlide - the verdict is in. by
waremark
As owner of an Oudie IGC (also Samsung S8, Kobo Glo HD, and LX 9000) I think brightness has ceased to be a major issue. I have never encountered any conditions in which the Oudie (pointed at me) is difficult to read. What is the relevance of looking at the instrument at an angle?

Seminole-Lake Gliderport is Thriving by
Rich Owen[_2_]
First I would like to wish all our fathers out there a Happy Fathers Day! With as much sadness as we have had in Orlando recently it is good to celebrate a very special day.

Overspeed Recovery question by
[email protected]
If you inadvertently fly into the yellow range and kiss the red range, and you get into the high speed vibration, what is the best way to slow before the wings depart the glider. My sense is to reach for the spoilers and slowly extend to slow. Any opinions on that matter?

MacCready in the Mountains by
JJ Sinclair
I fly a lot in the mountains and find MacCready speed-to-fly information,
completely worthless. Let me explain; Before crossing a ridge, I will fly
slower (below MC), so that I'm assured of making the next ridge. After crossing
the ridge, I may fly faster than MacCready. If I set the proper MC...

Butterfly external display questions by
Andy[_1_]
I received a Butterfly external display with my US PowerFLARM core (brick). I also ordered a PowerFLARM Portable so have been able to compare the two.
The alerter volume of my Butterfly external display is much lower than the alerter volume on my portable, even when the Butterfly is a maximum and...

Wing Ballast Distribution by
jcarlyle
When you water ballast the four wing tanks of an LS8a you fill the
inner tanks first, and when you dump the water there’s provision for
the inner tanks to drain last. With a RS LS8-18 (and the newer DG LS8-
s) this procedure is reversed - the outer tanks are filled first and
there’s provision for...

Crazy loons by

Can't Google or whoever is hosting this site do something about
getting rid of that crazy loon's persistant postings? This is a
glider site, not paranoia central!

First Glider - No Gelcoat by
Waduino
Yes I've read lots of posts about buying a first glider. My heart is set on
an LS-4 since I'd like to stay in the roughly $30K US price range with a
decent panel and trailer.
BUT, what if I just don't want gelcoat because sooner or later it will have
to be refinished and that doesn't make any...

LINUX flight software by
Bill Daniels
Apparently, there are a few people out there working with Linux for gliding
applications. (Thanks for the links) Maybe it's a good thing.
I keep thinking that the potential user base in this space is so small that
if the PDA based apps split it, there won't be all that much profit to
support a...

Nearly Mid-Air Collision at Estrella by
Terry Claussen
A lousy end to what was a beautiful day of soaring, thanks to the USMC
and my own lack of vigilance.
Yesterday a cold front was bearing down on Phoenix. While in other
parts of the country this makes for winter worries, here the front is
a small band of cumulus and a very slight chance of virga....
