Has anyone installed a cup holder on their glider? Pictures?

I posted before re Wings and Wheels' acquisition of the MKIV and Quiet Vent.. Some inside info: Sean visited beautiful Minden, NV for training and to pick up manufacturing tools and fixtures. About half way through training, he was a little slow and being every bit as picky as me, rejecting about...

I am considering modifying my glider trailer to incorporate an extended fuselage support frame to permit rigging on the lines of the modern lift-top trailers. The frame/channelling needs to be about 2m long with a section of about 60 x 50mm with tapered sides. Has anyone had a go at making...

At Blairstown Airport we loose about two minutes each time switch between Tost and Schweizer tow rings. I'm wondering what is being done at other busy operations, there must be a faster way. Help!

I am looking pretty seriously at buying 1/2 of an ASW 19. The other partner thinks there is a mod to move the instrument panel to the canopy. I am not that excited about shimmying my legs under it. Has anyone done this? If so what’s the cost of the parts and how much time to...

Time to upgrade my ships originally installed LNAV.....works fine but obviously dated. Curious on anyone’s experiences with the S100. Looks like a great vario/logger, but from a practical perspective is the screen really usefull for anything else? Seems pretty small to be useful for anything...

I have two of the modern (wide) version with the triangle reflector in perfect shape. Anyone needing one (or two)? J4

Redoing instrument panel. These instruments came in glider I just bought. http://wingsandwheels.com/classifieds/?m=misc

I've read that the Discus b and Discus CS are "identical" except that the CS is manufactured under license in Czech Republic. Both are, of course, available in the used-glider-market. Are there any differences in reliability, manufacturing qualty, etc that would favor one over the other? Tom

Anybody used SSA online contest registration recently? Monday I tried to register for a contest, and after filling in the info and pressing "submit", I got a blank page (tried repeatedly). Sent an email to webmaster and received no response (couple days now). I'm using Firefox on Windows 10...

Would a few of you see if you can get to the login page for the SSA Sailplane Directory? ssa.orgMember Resources menu. It goes to a landing page with two links to the login page. No need to log in, just need to see if there are any fails at reaching the login page. Really only need to hear...

Hey All, The Penn State Soaring club is searching for a friendly single-seater for our club members to fly. Currently, we lease an ASK-13 from Tom Knauff and Doris Grove, and the Collegiate Soaring Association lends us a Russia AC-4C and a 2-33 project (currently being restored by our club members...

Ladies and gents, If anyone happens to have a .pdf .jpg .dxf or pretty much .anything format of a Discus B panel (or Ventus B/C) it would be most appreciated. Email to Charlie Juliet Lima Seven Six @me.com or the email in my username. Thank you! Casey.

I sure need help here. As far as I understand polar diagrams the airspeed axis is for indicated airspeed, not true airspeed. This certainly makes sense. BUT, I have also come to understand that an estimate of L/D for a given airspeed can be obtained by dividing a given airspeed on the polar...

Nice article on the history and future of this site. http://www.lajollalight.com/news/local-news/sd-gliderport-sailplane-ucsd-growth-20170613-story.html 5Z

You can make one easily using a low-flow pellet rotameter -- lots are commercially available. If you just want up you only need one.

A late model, removed from a glider which has flown for less than 20 hours from new. Contact me and I can email photos. You won't find a better example out there... Craig Lowrie (UK)
