R6North Contest Poll Dear SSA Members: I'm gauging pilot interest in competing at a R6 North Contest to be held either at Ionia, Owosso, or Lenawee County (Adrian) airports in late June or July 2019. Both the Adrian Soaring Club and Sandhill Soaring Club (my home club) have expressed an...

Not dead, not crawled under a rock and went to sleep. About five or six years ago, I lost the use of my left eye. My dominant eye, and reading the computer isn't easy, even with a 27 inch monitor. Problems with my hands, the result of too many years of grabbing levers and chuck wrenches, typing...

Anyone put a LXNav remote joystick controller on a Pik20? The Pik’s post is 16mm while the smallest diameter available LX size is 18mm. HU Lars

Changing the Start Procedures alone is unfortunately not sufficient. The now possible in Cockpit Tracking with smartphones on the OGN sites still gives the possibility of following a track/route of any glider. So this has to be also addressed and if possible FLARM tracking signals to be delayed or...

My Pegasus tail ballast bag sprung a leak last year. In the process of replacing it, I decided to also change the 12v electric solenoid valve as it was pretty corroded after years of use. The old valve had a 5/16 (.3125") orifice which drained the one gallon bag reasonably quickly. Unfortunately,...

Hi Soaring, Our club glider (a Grob G-102) is about to get a new PowerFLARM portable unit, which we're planning to install on the top of the instrument panel because of the good visibility of the display. I've noticed that the Mode-C transponder antenna is also on the top of the instrument panel....

Hi All - I visited Charlie on Tuesday evening. He's in pretty tough shape. He misses all of you and appreciates all the cards. Hasn't lost his spunk despite the health trauma: Charlie: Nurse, I'd like a couple Tylenol to knock this fever down a bit. Nurse: We're not allowed to give you anything for...

Over 80% of new GA aircraft come equipped with seatbelt airbags. Is there a reason why they cannot or would not be practical for use in sailplanes?

To All in the Soaring Community: The concept for a digital, interactive soaring publication featuring national and international news and up to the minute information was put into motion a year ago. The electronic medium offers many unique and exciting possibilities, not to mention speed of...

FWIW, there is another EASA Emergency AD (2010-0160-E) that updates and supersedes the June Emergency AD. I don't know what the differences are as I don't have a copy of the first one. Whether by accident or not, the US AD seems to less restrictive. To paraphrase (always dangerous, I know) it 1)...
