I have given up on PDA's. For $100.00 you can have 3 1550's and 1 IPAQ plus docking stations: 2 for 1550"s and 1 for the IPAQ. 1 of the 1550's wont charge the other 2 worked fine last time I used them about a year or so ago. The IPAQ locks up if it gets too hot (as in Texas). Dick Mockler

The Belgian National Aeroclub have put together an impressive list of recent low-energy final glide and finish accidents, presented to the IGC. This is useful for the endless US discussion on the question, should we go back to low finishes here....

So if several sailplanes arrive at pattern altitude at the same time, how does the port authority expect them to land "legally"? -Tom

Amateur refinisher looking to take on some work for pay. 15 meter fuselage and stabilizer would be good, or I could do a set of wings. Could possibly do an entire glider, but might not be able to guarantee that completed by summer so it might be best to start with a partial project. Price would...

Hi all, Add me to the list of Montague open class contest bloggers. I'm sitting in the rear seat of JOY, like I did in the 2012 Nationals. I take photos and videos and write for a non-pilot audience. http://stepleton.com/ Cheers, --Tom

Can anybody give me guidance with a problem I have in See You. I cant seem to get Andrej to respond. I have the latest version of See you 6.15. I cannot seem to get the vector map display or the satellite map to come up in the 3D view. I get a picture of the glider and the trace over a tan...

Page 6 on Wings&Wheels Price reduced on low time L33 in mint condition. New interior. Link to photos there as well. Clubs, a great solo ship! Easy to fly (just like a L23), fixed gear, and no worry about sun damage. Located in Oregon. http://wingsandwheels.com/class/classified.php?id=1947

Have the choice of an LX5000 IGC and a Cambridge 302/303 to put in a club class glider for recreational XC and wave flying. Any views on which is the better set up? (and why!) Main navigation will be done from a PDA, attached to the chosen device.

Hey all - anyone have a definitive answer as to to which mfg.'s used this stuff, and when they quit? It would help narrow the search for an older glass ship.

See letter from General Aviation and Commercial Division, Flight Standards Service dated 24 April 2017: http://indocap.com/FAA/FAA-AFS800_Palmer1.pdf This is the solution for certificated pilots who wish to add a Glider rating but cannot solo because they have no current Flight Review and...

I have not been able to figure out how to delete a flight or an account from OLC

No more worrying about gelcoat refinish costs, or the newest flight computer. Just get rid of the flying aspect of the sport and stick to fighting over the rules!! Think of all the graduating speech majors we could recruit as new members :) All kidding aside, over the history of sailplane...

Jim McCann was a hell of a great guy and pilot. We spent many happy hours together on the Drive Across America (otherwise known as Return to Kitty Hawk), including a few hours flying together in his Ximango from Las Vegas to Phoenix. Sadly last time we spoke was a few months back, and he was...
