How can I transfer airline miles from American Express to United's Mileage Plus or Lufthansa's Miles and More programs ? American Express will not do it directly - but I read somewhere that one can transfer to some other (hotel?) program and then into Mileage Plus or Miles and More - I will...

I just installed a very cool - pun intended - air extractor in my ASW19. Its a nifty device that replaces that little hatch cover where the control connections are. My guess is that it was made on a 3D printer. Anyway, I couldn’t believe how well it worked and so I’m putting a shameless...

Just curious after it missed the last convention.

I am looking for a set of used winglets for a 1981 Ventus B. I would prefer the 15m tips, but I'll entertain 16.m tips as well. David

I was wondering if gotenna might be a practical way to handle glider tracking. https://www.gotenna.com/pages/mesh https://vimeo.com/184624592 looks interesting, i wonder how it would handle 1 message per minute or faster update rates. Chris

Got a new Cobra with a 7-blade. My vehicles use 4-way flat. I was initially going to cut and install a 4way on the trailer, but hate to cut brand new plus thought if I install a combi on the vehicle I could tow others if a need arise. So, I find a vehicle combi at Lowe's, connect everything and...

Anyone know where I can get some of the T35 gelcoat here in the states that DG finished my LS-10 with? I am told there are alternatives but would really rather use the original stuff if I could get it. Thanks, John Bojack

The syndicate I'm part of need to log flights and hours for the aircraft we own. We're currently using a spreadsheet which works but is a bit clunky. Does anyone know of any software that would allow logging of time against a single aircraft with shared access to the logs? The better and simpler...

anybody has the drawings about compact 110?

a 110 lb. 16:1 L/D foot launched ultralight was surpassed long ago by flex wing hang gliders at ~70 lbs. Why bother?

A couple of weeks ago I purchased a fairly cheap pair of sunglasses. When I put them on in my glider all of my instruments magically went black. Unbeknownst to me, the lenses are polarized. Are there any sunglasses that seem to work really well for flying?

FYI... I'm going to retrofit a CG Tost G88 tow release into my Discus 2A and looking for others who may have had this experience. Photos of my SN 32 ship to Heinz at M&H confirm that it has the attach bolt points and cable. But, the parts/brackets necessary for the install have to be ordered from...

I am looking for my next glider, and wanted a little advice from my friends on RAS. First a little background; I have about 500 hrs on a Ventus C. I fly mostly in CA and NV in the Sierras. I am interested in 500K+ XC and some regional contests. I like to compete, but will never take the risks...

I may be contacted at or (770) 253-2426 Thanks.

I am interested in buying a working ClearNav 1 to use as a portable.

Looking for magnetic compass made by PZL item number KI-13A. Anyone wishing to sell please contact me. Sincerely, John Iacobucci +1 616 485-3980

I just listened to this news on a major news network and pseudo confirmed it he http://www.airliners.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1374687 The newsperson actually said, "Why didn't this glider have a transponder, why wasn't this glider talking to someone, how is this possible…" live on the...

I was sad to notice this morning that all of Balleka's videos have been deleted from YouTube. I owe my interest in the sport to those videos. Though I'm sure the family has their reasons for wanting them gone, it feels like part of Matt's legacy has been destroyed.

After some hunters blundered onto our field because a hunting app misled them into believing it was public land, we have decided to post signage. I once saw a sign showing a car getting dinged by a tow rope link. Does anyone know where I can find a digital copy?
