Tony[_5_]
My rental PowerFLARM for the 13.5 meter regional showed up early so I re-built the shelf that I used last year at Region 10. Thoughts? https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/vPVToC5osaTqjvJiSAFYU9MTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink
Will probably mount the dipole on the inside of the turtledeck...

Standard Cirrus PowerFLARM mount by
Tony[_5_]
On Sunday I saw 2 regional airliners and King Air inbound to Wichita. Has anyone come up with a PowerFLARM mounting solution for a Std. Cirrus that won't get me on the Hall of Shame? Not enough space on top of the glare shield to keep the antennas straight. Thanks!

making a wing wheel by

I'm going to start making a wing wheel for the Cherokee here shortly.
I have some 9 oz glass cloth and some fiberglass resin from advance
auto parts. I'm curious how many layers of glass those of you who
have done it used?

Oudie not making valid IGC files by

My last few flights have been with Oudie only and when uploading to
the OLC the IGC validation has failed. I also had a format issue with
my last flight and had to send it to the OLC help email. The response
I got said "I fixed the file, but it has no signature at the end, so
it will be invalid...

A Clear Nav, A 1-26, and an Eta by
Tony[_5_]
So lets say you suddenly came into possession of all 3. The Clear Nav
seems to be about the niftiest of all the nifty flight displays out
there. The 1-26 is currently winning the OLC in the USA, and the Eta
is the hottest of the Open Class. You intend to fly both gliders to
their cross country...
