Duo Discus wing root mod by
JS[_5_]
Does anyone have a wing root mod for the Duo?
That sharp 90 degree junction on the underside of the wing is right out of the 1970s.
Contacted the usual suspects:
Streifeneder.
US S-H rep.
Lindner.
....With no luck.
Where's Rick Wagner when you need him?
Thanks!
Jim

Older varios? by
Chris Davison[_3_]
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.

Pulse oxymeter use by
John McLaughlin
I've searched this forum and google, but can't find the information - can
anyone tell me what readings I should expect to see at altitude?
Presumably, a steady decrease from the ground level reading, despite using
supplemental oxygen? But without a table of what's normal for each
altitude, how...

Best Oxygen Setup? by
ProfJ
Ok, looking for the wisdom of the crowd (or even just the individual) here. I want to get an oxygen setup for my glider. It's an old-school touring motor glider (SZD-45 Ogar) but I like to soar it anyway, and I live in SW Colorado so I am regularly bumping my head on the 12,500ft and 14,000ft...

Replace air lines in Discus tail fin? by
Paul[_10_]
I'd like to put a TE probe in an unused tail fin pitot socket, but the 30 year old hose leaks. There doesn't appear to be access from the top, with the horizontal stabilizer removed. Does anybody know if the lines can be accessed with the rudder removed?
Plan B is to mount it in the turtle deck,...

Mechanical vs electrical vario needles by
[email protected]
Hi all,
I'm considering buying a new vario, but am stuck deciding between the new generation of LXNAV/Airglide varios with entirely electronic displays, or a Cambridge/Borgelt type with a mechanical needle.
On one hand, with a pure display vario, there are so many more features available. AHRS,...

Task Planning and Flight Review Software - alternative to SeeYou? by
Papa3[_2_]
What are people using nowadays for task planning and flight review? I've had SeeYou since the beginning, but I'm finding the latest versions to be so bloated with extra features that it's becoming much less user friendly. Task and waypoint management in particular is becoming a PITA.

Standard Cirrus 1973 (Grob) no water ballast by
Ian Simmonds
Hi all
I am now the owner of a lovely 1973 Grob built Standard Cirrus - a thing of beauty.
What intrigues me is that the the glider has no water ballast in the wings and looks as if it came straight from the factory like this. No connector in the wing root and nothing in the cockpit to indicate...
