Anyone get hassled for exceeding max car and trailer length? by
Gordon Boettger
Looking at getting an RV (25' length). Combine that with a doubleseater glider trailer and I'm at 60'. I'm in NV, so I'm good, but going into OR I would be 10" over the legal limit. Anyone out there run into any issues with the "fuzz" for exceeding combined vehicle and trailer length?
Thanks

We're making a new winch drum. The flanges on our drum bent out a little when moving from steel to Spectra line.
I'd like to know the dimensions and structure of any drums/flanges that have failed, or shown signs of failing, and with what length and type of line. Please pass this on to anyone...

Anyone have a Piep Audio Vario? by
[email protected]
Subject says it all. Discussion in the Mechancal Vario thread led to
some suggesting that I should get an antique Piep Audio vario that
would plumb in with my current mechanical vario. I think they are
right, sounds like just what I need. Anyone have one laying around
they want to part with?

Anyone have a Tost release? by
noel.wade
All -
My DG-300's CG hook needs replacement (Tost p/n 028500, a right-hand
side-mount, a "G-88" I believe). Unfortunately I've been told that
there are none in-stock in the USA, and shipping from Germany is going
to take several weeks. I have a contest coming up in just a couple of
weeks, so...

Anyone having trouble upgrading firmware in an LXNAV s80? by
Matt Herron Jr.
I install the upgrade file on the SD card. I restart the S80. It asks me if I want to upgrade. I select upgrade. The unit shuts off and never reboots. I turn on the unit and the firmware is the same.
Any advice welcome.
thanks,
Matt
