Like many others, I am on the hunt for my first sailplane. One cannot help but notice the performance value of the classic wood and wood/fabric sailplanes such as the Ka-6, and SHK-1 Austria series among others. Living in Florida where the humidity often rivals the high temperatures during much...

Hi everybody, I wonder I can get the polar data of my LS8-18 in the 18 meter configuration - no problem with the 15 meter version so far - to put it in the Winpilot polar file. I guess there is a possibility to figure that out for oneself, but I hope there is someone out there who already has...

Hey, Where in Europe might it be the best in summer to get some intensive glider pilot and soaring training? Somewhere where you could get the maximum hours of flying and training per day, not just 30-90 minutes. Of course, the cheaper it is, the better. Stable predictable weather definitely a...

Anyone using ILEC SN10 with a Volkslogger. I just got a plane equiped as such and I am looking for a user forum

Anyone using an ILEC SN10 with a Volkslogger. I just got this and am trying to make heads or tails out of it. I had some old Cambridge equipment in my former plane that I could no longer hook to a computer but my Oudie talked to it just fine and it worked well. Now it looks I will have to bring a...

New owner (Not by choice) of SN10 driven by Volkslogger. Was going to tear out and replace with something newer but I thought Id try and see how I liked it. First, the technology seems ancient, some type of 9 point connector (What happened to SD cards or thumb drives) and the factory site seems...

List, Am in the process of redoing the panel during the off season and currently shopping for a transponder. It would seem the best thing to do is purchase a unit with ADS-B functionality. This narrows the selection a bit. Are there any units to avoid? Should I wait and see what comes available...

I have a 1999 Cobra trailer (Recently purchased). I believe the strut on the tongue is due for a service because it moves so easily that you can almost not back up because the brakes are applied. I looked for a lockout (Like on my old trailer and I could not find one. Can these struts be serviced...

List, Am installing PF Brick into a 27. At first I was going to address the 27/29 Yahoo list but thought I might reach a wider range of experience here. I flew all of last season including a contest with a PF portable on a Williams Soaring mount on the glare shield and it worked great (And yes it...

Dear List, We all know that moving maps and pressure tranducing varios are just a fad. Ok seriously, SN10 with vario for sale with accessories (USB converter and Remote). Version 2.35. 1350 or best half way serious offer. Trades considered. Would not mind a transponder (Plus cash of course) or...

Just finished a panel upgrade on a Normal category (Not Experimental). One change made was to use PowerFlarm for GPS logging and glide computer. My master switch is a 3 position switch (Bat 1, Off, Batt 2). My old Volkslogger had no problem with swtching batteries as long as I flipped the switch...

May have a empty ball from Air Sailing (North of Sparks NV) to the Silverton Oregon area (South of Portland) on the 9th and returning on the 12th. It is only a day's drive each way but if this will help you out shoot me a PM.

I am considering a trip to Ely Nevada this week and was wondering if anyone can relate any recent experience with the FBO, Onsite Camping and the soaring. I have Googled the site and most of the results are dated. I seem to recall a story or two in Soaring that is more recent and these suggest the...

About to have a sailplane shipped Via Uship from the Northeast to the Rockies. I have two options so far One contractor who uses a flatbed trailer and a few bidders who are just going to tow the sailplane behind a truck. A soaring buddy advised against the flatbed due to ride concerns. Seems that...

I am going to be setting up a new (TO me) glider panel during our fast approaching off season. Standard category if it matters and two of the things on the list are PowerFlarm and a Transponder. From talking to some people (Suppliers and other pilots) there are a few who are doing either or, and...

I need to purchase an oxygen system for an ASW27 (licensed in the Standard Category if that matters). Of course I will probably go with a Mountain High system so my main question is about the tank and the plumbing. My last system on my last ship used a huge steel bottle that was so big it would...

Does anyone know of a reliable delivery service or shipper that could get a glider from Massachusetts to Utah. Even part way would help. Thanks
