Towing w LSA (FAA defined Light Sport Aircraft)? Is anyone doing this? Without a horsepower limit for Light Sport Aircraft it seems that a small airframe and a big engine might be an ideal towplane. The GW limit of 1320 lbs (599kg) and max cruise speed of 120knots do not seem restrictive for...

You may not be aware of the new sailplanes being publicly released this year. 1. From Poland comes the news release of the Diana 3. It is an 18 metre ship with a conventional spar - unlike the Diana 2 which is sparless. The 'Three' is a real 'looker.' 2. The new Diana 2 has been worked on and...

So, it is raining outside and I haven't been soaring in a long time, so naturally I am thinking about soaring next season.... I'll bet I am not the only one. The big plan is a soaring safari to the Western US next season. I may be able to take as long as 2+ months. I am looking for ideas for...

Anyone had any experience with the Zeus? Please share your opinions on its quality and performance.

Two recent incidents which all sounds too familiar and we can all learn from them: 1 - Another spoilers out/rudder waggle resulting in premature release - How many more of those we need till we conclude that the rudder waggle does NOT work? What happened to radio...

As my Astir CS77 is totally damaged (The pilot, a friend of mine is ok, but the glider can't be repaired) i am looking for a "new" glider. I have the chance to buy a Libelle H301 17m. As I know that several H301 are flown in the US, i hope to get some advice from ras. For those who wonder: I can't...

I have an older Komet trailer with newer axel. I parked the trailer about 2 months ago and it was working fine at the time. Now the wheels are immobile. I even tried to pull it with my car and the wheels just dragged across the pavement. In the dark of night I could not figure out if somehow...

Can anyone familiar with the WinPilot product tell me whether my DeLorme Earthmate GPS Receiver (with DB-15 serial interface) will work with it? If not, what advice would you offer regarding iPac (or other pocket PC) models, and portable GPS devices to use with WinPilot? -ted

For the first time in 20 years, I sat down and read Soaring magazine, cover to cover. Good stuff in there, all interesting. The 2 accident write-ups were hard hitting, factual information that just might prevent a similar occurance. George Thelen described an ASW-20 that hit the trees, I believe...

Hi Our 302 unit with V2.50 firmware in it will not transfer Flight Logs after bombing out mid-way on a previous transfer. I am using a Windows 2000 PC with Utility V2.55, which has previously downloaded logs without any trouble. Now, when I click on the button to start the transfer, it does not

Hi , I got to know of an exciting event happening in Bangalore on July 2nd. I guess it will add a great value to all the Testing professionals in the Testing domain. I believe it is worth attending as there are interesting topics. (See the Sessions below).

Could someone direct me to the site that gives the specifics on getting a low level aerobatic waiver valid for carrying passengers? So far I have been unable to find this data on the net and I have done a pretty good search on the IAC and NAA sites.
