Hi I own an Eberle clamshell trailer. I have no spare wheel, and am in search of one. I have visited at least four local tire shops where I live (in Canada) with no luck. I know the trailers are of European manufacture, and the bolt pattern may be metric. Canada uses the metric system, but...

Hi All, As I understand the racing rules for 2006, the SSA has decided to mandate ELT installation for all competitors. The ELT must be permanently mounted inside the glider. Personal ELTs will not suffice. This is all complicated by the FAA's decision to obsolete some existing ELT frequencies...

Looking to replace the factory/European style tail lights. Although attractive (??) I think they can be confusing for USA drivers following behind it. Any suggestions for improvement and/or making them more USA "friendly"? And also wiring them for USA vehicles. I have seen several trailers...

I have a CNI,CNv, and a LXNAV V7 in my ASG-29. The CNI is easy to operate but it has locked up a few times and has given me a lot of headaches trying to start out of the top of the start cylinder - might be operator error :) Between the varios I always find myself referencing the V7 because it...

Any suggestions? Either currently available or coming in the near future (next year or so) would be ok, I am not in a rush. Prefer it would fit in one 57mm hole. I take care of navigation and tasks with other standalone devices (full on OpenVario with its own vario/STF sensor board, and a Kobo...

A long while back somebody (Ian Molesworth?) mentioned "lashing a Camelbak under the beam supporting the stick" in a Standard Libelle. With the season visible on the horizon I'm wondering how he did that. There's obviously sufficient space available under the beam and little chance of fouling...

The rules say that an aircraft towing or re-fueling has the right-of- way over all other powered aircraft. Please point out to critics of glider operations that every pilot is taught this rule before flying solo and that this rule is on the written test he or she must take before getting a license.

Does anyone have experience with audio on transmit being heard over the speaker? It does not have intercom wired and we believe it is wired according to available wiring diagram. Have manual which has no troubleshooting section. Have tried changing battery also. Thanks UH

Sorry guys, can't find the answer via search, but what is a parallelogram stick?

There must be dozens... Opening gambit: Q. What's the difference between stealing a toy from a baby and stealing a toy from contest pilots? A. Sooner or later, the baby will stop crying. Jim

My Cobra trailer is difficult to open and close in colder weather. It seems to be with the struts. Any suggestions? Thanks, Bob

Hi all. I'm a former cfi-i/mei and commercial glider pilot, but I've never gone cross-country in my PW-5 glider. Training up for it though. A question: If you are in an area where the fields are small, but there are several private airfields around, which should be your priority? Seems to me...

http://rdd.me/ryoliosm I doesn't matter how 'smart' our gadgets are if you can't read the damn screens with a quick glance. Qualcom's Mirasol display looks like a magazine cover in direct sunlight.

It’s been 50 years now since I soloed in gliders at Black Forest, Co in 1971. I have logged over 5000 hours, mostly racing. Only flew one time last year due to Covid-19, but this year I found myself dreading the work involved with hooking up the trailer, driving an hour and a half, assembling,...

Is there anyone who has experience with both of these sailplanes? They seems at the same price range but I don't know what would be the difference during xc flights. What about the maintenance, handling and any other issues? Thanks for your advice! /Janos

Hi everyone :-) GR8 to have service 'back'! Question for any / all interested: What is your travel time / distance (round trip?) from home to gliding / soaring club - site? Not that will make any difference to actual journey I need to take but knowing what fellow enthusiast 'endure' to enjoy...

This is an interesting piece of news from the helicopter industry: STRATFORD, Conn.,- Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX), today announced an agreement to acquire Schweizer Aircraft Corp., a privately owned U.S. company specializing in the...
