I have not seen any polar for the L-13 other than the one in the factory manual POH. It does not reference the flap positions. I have flown the L-13 and the L-23 (no flap) For the L-13, the flaps do lower landing speed and the angle of the fuselage on approach which affects the AOA of the wing. I...

please explain?? what hot news.. "Shawn Curry" wrote in message ... Given the hot news here in Colorado, I'm thinking of changing the tail designation on my Mosquito from KH to WN. Cheers, Shawn

type of repair? have you tried to contact the Grob representative, he is normally in the SSA mag. "Scott" wrote in message ... We have a grob 103 in need of repair in Northern Ohio. Is there anyone near by who can fix it?

inside? outside in the wind and weather? each wing supports part of the other with the "center spar pin" that connects to the other root, could cause some undo stress on the fuselage where the free end of the spar might bang around in the winds.. I do know of a Grob 103 that was stored as such.....

Wave Conditions in the Las Vegas Valley last Sunday. Flights to 17,000 ft, no planned wave window to get higher. I've read reports from Colorado, but have heard nothing from Minden, Tehachapi or Cal City. Wind reports on Mt Washington NH were 80knts, if it were not for the storm dumping 47inches...

SSA.ORG is on the fritz again... maybe it is all those "at the convention" updates.. either that or no one is home to fix it.. BT

I'd be interested in CG location also... your pilot weight and which counter weight in the tail.? I'd also like to know your progress on getting the "category" certification you need for the USHGA insurance. BT "Shawn Curry" wrote in...

I'll agree that a Private Pilot cannot be compensated monetarily for towing services rendered, he may log PIC time towards additional ratings while towing. I'll also agree that 61.113 is very confusing.. but para (g) says he can act as PIC, it does not say be can be compensated. The insurance...

A Cobra trailer has been parked outside the fence, on a public street, at the local airport for the last two weeks. Not normal to see glider trailers at this "in the big city" airport. Is someone missing a trailer? Unknown if there is a glider inside, trailer is marked "Ventus 2" with "00" contest...

I eventually want to buy a remote control unit for my ILEC SN 10B, but I´m not shure where to store it in flight to get easy access to it. Where is the best place for it in the cockpit, so it doesn´t disturb the handling of the ship? Does anybody have experiencies/ pictures? Thanks, Bernd

Just wondering about peoples experience with various refinish products for sailplanes. I am going to refinish parts of my glider over the next couple of off seasons. Right now I am leaning toward using an Acrylic Urethane from PPG and a polyester filler. I am familiar with Simtec Prestec. I have...

FYI... For several days now I have been trying to get a good log posted to OLC. Part of this process involved running a program "cai2igc.exe". I kept getting "Runtime error 200". This was because the cpu was too fast. Reran it on an old laptop and it worked fine. Just wanted to pass this along...

In the US, ATC is only responsible for providing separation services between IFR aircraft, not IFR from VFR. They will call out VFR aircraft time permitting. A glider pilot with a transponder might have the false impression that someone is providing separation services for them. This could...

What do I need to do the get a valid IGC file posted to OLC? I am using the utilities to convert the downloaded "cai" file to "igc". Doing so the security checks are good. When posting to OLC, OLC checks the file assuming it came from a Cambridge 302 (I am using a Model 20) and fails the...

Let's get off this! With a sport in declining numbers, this forum topic has turned into a steaming pile and is a despicable representation of our sport and it's pilots. It appears that Naresh is the pivot man in a circle jerk. Move on!
