Battery life...how to test? by Jim Kelly
I guess a 12v automotive light bulb would be a readily available load? Perhaps one of the electronic wizards here could suggest an appropriate wattage for a meaningful, safe, fast test? Also, is it valid to do a 'fast' test when a glider load is hopefully closer to 10 to 20 hrs? Can we presume...

GROB 102 by Vorsanger1
Looking for brake pads for the G-102 Does anyone out there know where one can find them? The US distributor says they are no longer available. Are they available somewhere in Europe, Germany perhaps ? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks Charles
