On a recent thermalling flight with a friend in the front seat I commenced a high speed run from 3000 feet to lose height and demonstrate glider flight at higher speed. I trimmed out for 100kts and flew a straight course until down to about 2000ft where I then turned left 90 degrees. This took...

Visualize a glider on a experimental certificate: 1- Does it take a "pro" (I.E a glider repair shop used to do this on a regular basis) to redo the gelcoat on a glider legally, or can it be done by anyone? 2- What needs to be entered in the logbooks, if any? Thanks

Some months ago, I read a post from a John Morgan, Minden NV. He was developing a gadget that was to diminish noise from the clearvision panel vent. I think he called it the Quiet Vent. Any further word on his venture? Any contact info? THNX Ron W (RW)

In the last month we have released 2 new gliders - The Ventus 3 in 15m and 18m, and the ASK21. Condor development continues apace. Chris & Uros Condor Team

Can anyone help with the wing profile data for a Ventus 2cm? I need the numerical data and if possible someone who could make templates on a CNC. I have contacted US dealer with no response. Ken

I recently purchased a Speed Astir IIB and I'm in the process of getting it sorted for the next flying season. I'm interested in getting information from current and previous 104 owners regarding their tips, hints, and suggestions on flying the 104 as well as maintaining it and possible...

Hi, I just learned that the LX Navigation LX160 has been replaced with the new LX160si. The new model offers very easy connection for a Colibri and a Pocket PC. It also provides 5V power (2A) for the Pocket PC. The original LX160 did not have that ability. I purchased an original LX160 for my...

Hi, I will be giving a talk at the SSA convention at 1 PM on Thursday on the topic "Soaring Flight Computer Comparison". I am determined to give an unbiased look at all the available flight computer/logger systems. As you may know, I am a dealer for Cambridge Aero Instruments, and I sell and...

Did anyone else in the US order one? I did, and it seems the postal service between here and there has eaten both shipments. The second set was shipped about a month ago, and still nothing. I have typically gotten things quicker than this, so I fear the second set has also been lost. Anyone...

Greetings! Anyone found a cradle for an iPaq that suits use in a glider and doesn't require amputation of a limb to pay for it?? We are considering standardising the mounting facilities in our club fleet and the costs of multiple cradles seem prohibitive at this time. The main hurdle to overcome...

Just received a Streak 5, updated to Froyo and installed XCSoar for Android, and thought I would compare it to the MIO 400 with LK8000 that I used last year and give a quick review. First of all, if you purchase a Streak 5 on Ebay, expect to pay about $300-$400.00. If it is a used Streak like I...

Hi, This looks very interesting: http://www.alexander-schleicher.de/Neuigkeiten/aktuell_118_e.htm What a lovely new sailplane!!! Paul Remde

A recent UK Parliamentary Committee, who are definitely not revolutionary hotheads, concluded that the so called 'War on Terrorism', far from curing the problem, is actually stoking up further terrorist problems, with our own indigenous young Muslims being sufficiently radicalised as to become...

I just helped set up the Ramy Yanetz ASG29's TRIG TT21 transponder with a TN72 GPS Source to use as a TABS ADS-B out system. That along with PowerFLARM in his glider makes for a pretty capable overall traffic awareness/collision avoidance system. Here is a screenshot of my portable Stratux ADS-B...

Who can help me with a wiring scheme for a Dittel FSG 15 radio (15 pins plug at the back)? Thanks Ton Wolfert

I'm a novice glider pilot thinking of a Speed Astir II B. Any thoughts on this aircraft? Thanks! David

For simple long pleasure flights in the western US or for the rare flights in the Alps would I notice any real PRACTICAL difference between a Discus 2c and other flapped 18m ships? I have NO interest in competition. Thanks
