HANDHELD RADIO by
[email protected]

and have been a bit disappointed with it's performance. It has a
standard 6" flex antenna. When I am in the air and someone tries to
talk with me using the handheld, the transmission always sounds very
weak, even if I am...

Ventus 2cx brake by
BravoCharlie
Hi Pilots,
I have a V2cxT that has the standard S-H disc brake that no longer
works very well. I have been through the obvious fixes; pads, new
fluid, bleed, etc. and haven't been able to bring it back up to
original performance which was adequate but not stellar.
I know a number of pilots have...

issue of "Flying" you don't need to connect your elevator control! I
quote: "the NTSB report does not comment on the fact that a

other airplane, unflyable. The...

Which Way is That Thermal? by
ContestID67
I was sent a link to a gadget some college engineers-in-the-making
built. http://engenius.sece.rmit.edu.au/Abstracts/Page601.htm. It
tries to detect which way a thermal is based on temperature differences
between wing tips. Bright boys.

BRAKE FLUID by
Ventus B
The maintenance manual for my ASW 20C glider says to be sure to only
use "mineral oil" based brake fluid for the hydraulic brake system.

Hi Jonathan-
I assume that by the "ASA" you mean the Arizona Soaring Association and our
basically unamimous voice against the "15 minute rule" and the one mile
cylinder. First of all I don't understand the point that you are making
since in your opening statement you say that "the contest was...

Recently I tested two 12v SLA s which had been in use
sequentially for some years usually recharged before going

Anti-collision system for gliders by

Hello,
Is anyone aware of anti-collision systems (projects or products) for gliders

Flat Spin by
JJ Sinclair
I'm surprised this spin thread hasn't produced more discussion of the flat
spin. One poster told us about getting into a flat spin after several
revolutions of a "normal" spin" at Minden when the Puch went flat (nose on
