Wonted plans for Duster bj-1b /Russ

I recently bought a Ventus C (B body), which came without a seat back. Since I am shorter than the previous owners, I need to add a seat back, but Schempp Hirth wants $736.00 (plus shipping) for a replacement! Does anyone have/know of a "B" seat back, perhaps from a wrecked glider? I'm definitely...

LS4-a. Badge and contest ready. 1360 hours. Lots of goodies. Contact Matt Herron: for descriptive flyer.

My new (to me) Ventus C came with a decidedly old Cobra trailer. When I pulled the wheel drums (one was cracked) the surfaces resembled a dirt road after the spring run-off. I replaced drums and brake shoes and was back in business. My first towing adventure included the long downgrade into...

I'm hooking an IPAQ 39xx to an LX5000. datalogger via an LXIPQ39 Power/ Data adapter (a gizmo from LX Navigation that supplies power to the IPAQ while also transmitting data from the logger). I have a good wiring schematic for the Nimbus cradle that holds the IPAQ, but nothing readable for the...

My LX5000 is starting to freak out. It gives "BAD GPS' messages with frequency, has given up on the initialization process entirely because it thinks it's always in flight. And the traces, when there are traces are a scribble of zigs and zags, although the general directions and positions are...

Wanted: L Nav or S Nav. Replacing the logger in my Ventus C and looking for L-Nav (later model with GPS Nav built-in) or S-Nav. The vario output should be 58mm. Please contact Matt Herron at .

I have a Schreder trailer that I'm having trouble dealing with mositure. It is all metal including the floor and has good positive venting includng a solar vent. Despite this I can open the trailer after only a week and find evidence on my glider of signficant mositure. It may just be the dew...

I'm trying to determine if any of my glider cross-country time can be applied to the commercial single engine aeronautical experience requirements. FAR 61.129 says "50 hours of cross-country flight of which at least 10 hours must be in airplanes". FAR 61.1 defines cross country time as, among...

A friend owns a Cessna 182. I am contemplating offering to cover the cost of him installing a towhook so I can fly out of my local airport instead of driving 6 hours round trip every time I want to fly. This would make it possible for me to fly much more often. About how much could I expect this...

I am interested in learning more about glider operations at Tullahoma, TN. I have family near that area and would be interested in flying my glider there during visits. Matt

Does anyone know of someone in North Carolina or the surrounding states that could do a professional gel coat inspection? Preferably someone who has experience with glider refinishing and old gel coats. I've been unable to find any sailplane repair (refinishing) facilities in the above area. Matt

FYI: Region 9 Parowan, Region 1 Warren VT, and Region 8 Ephrata WA for Glideplan are now all available for download at http://www.glideplan.com/download/contest.html .. Thanks to all who are supporting this effort and for the great feedback! Matt (Jr)

I am pleased to announce that at the suggestion of John Seaborn, GlidePlan will be making contest maps available for all 2008 SSA sanctioned contests on our website. These maps will be constructed from current NACO sectional scans, valid as of the date of the contest. The map areas will...

Two years ago, My friend Morteza Ansari and I took off from the bay area for a 8-9 day soaring safari to Parowan Utah. It was a fantastic trip, with incredible scenery and stunnng XC soaring, perfectly suited to our budding XC experience. This year, we are looking for another adventure spot. ...

Yet another lawn chair flight: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/07/10/tech/main3040131.shtml Looks like he covered over 300km. Shall we petition to have Judy give him an honorary gold distance award? He wasn't carrying O2, so he probably didn't bust class A. Don't know about other airspace...

I am thinking of going up to Airsailing this weekend for some XC paractice. Does anyone have any info on the impact the fires are having in the area? Visibility, TFRs? (extra thermals???) Friday looks windy, but the weekend looks OK according to NOAA Matt Jr.
