Hallo, I'm working on my panel redesign. It's a "long distance project" with me on one continent and the glider on another... Would someone with a "winter access" to his glider take some measurements for me? - what is the exterior dimension of Ilec engine controller? I know it is 57mm hole but...

The Wright Brothers invented the towplane. Celebrate!

On or around August 1.

I made a couple of flights yesterday with a new setup that links a PowerFLARM brick (2.79/3.1/Flarmnet loaded) to an SN10B (2.37, PDA, FLARM, 19200 selected) passing Flarm, GPS, and vario data to an Oudie2. All worked exactly as expected EXCEPT that randomly during flight, at irregular intervals,...

A machinist buddy of mine made me a TE tube for my 2-33 and it worked great, but I no longer have that ship. He is at sea so I can't reach him and I need to make another one for my "new" 2-33. It was just a tube about 4" long with a hole on the back side as you might expect and we mounted it behind...

I am hoping for a shot or 2 next month to attempt a 1000k badge flight. I realize that the turnpoint or turnpoints need to be an FAI 90 degree sector. What about start and finish, I plan to use the gliderport for my start and finish, does this also require the 90 degree sector or is a line...

If anyone knows where I could find either a complete frame AND plexi canopy for the rear cockpit of a Twin Astir (not Twin II) I'd appreciate the help. Our Canadian Freedoms Wings program for paraplegic pilots is at a standstill as we've broken our rear canopy. Its a frustrating position to be in...

Is there any soaring going on at Willis Gliderport in Boynton Beach FL these days? -- Mike Schumann -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

Bought a built experimental powered glider and All I have is a bill of sale from an individual who is not the builder and does not know who he was. No data plate, plans or other documentation with kit number. Is there anyway to satisfy the FAA's chain of ownership requirements ? It only needs a...

I drove by the Olancha strip last week and found that it is in even worse condition than the last time I saw it. Brush is starting to get sizable on the "cleared" landing area. The strip was already marginal even for 15M but the brush encroaching on the open area almost guarantees a ground loop. If...
