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

I don't know anything about the new guy, but I would rather have a
non-flying professional CEO that knows what needs to be done (and does it)
than have some hotshot, contest-flying, badge-covered, amateur administrator
screw up what little is left of our organization. Intrepid flyer or not, I

STS radio battery - USA by
Ray Lovinggood
Where can I buy, in America, a replacement battery
for an 'STS' brand hand-held radio?
I think 'Batteries Plus' can get one for about $70.
I've e-mailed 'Tropic Aero', asking if they have the
batteries. I think I bought my last couple from them
several years ago, but I don't know if they still...

project for SSA? Anyone have experience in this and know the costs and
potential profit?
EAA did it - the following is from their web...
