Does anyone know where I can purchase a 14 Volt gel cell battery. I know I can wire 2 or more in series to get 14Volt,(12 + 2 or 6 + 8 etc..) but I thought someone might know where you can purchase a single 14V battery. Thanks in advance.

Thought I would put a not on the site to say congratulations to Christa Keizer for making her first solo flight yesterday in an AS-K21 out at Caracole Soaring in California City. There were several friends along with her proud father, Alan, attending. She made a 30 minute flight and a perfect two...

We have an XCOM radio in one of our gliders. How do other build a 14v battery? r/Jim

The FAA has made it possible for glider plots with very limited time to acquire a CFIG rating with only 15 hours of total glider time. This is truly an accident waiting to happen, what could a glider pilot actually know with such limited time? What do you think?

The Pakistanie took a commanding lead today in Ping Pong by defeating everyone he played, he is well ahead in the contest, maybe another contest tomorrow of a different type, hopefully he does as well there also Jeff

Why did Chip give up, and go home at the 15 meter Nationals? He let a lot of people down.

Way to go Danial Sazhin with a first place for the Duckhawk on day seven at the 15 meter nationals, a win for a young upcoming sailplane pilot, a win for a US made sailplane and another win for Windward Performance. Support "made in the USA".. it doesn't have to come from Europe any more.

Due to weather conditions beyond our control that have not permitted soaring here in PA for the last three days we have started a new competition, ping pong. John Good is in a commanding lead by over 1000 points followed by the Pakistanie Adnan who is close behind. The Polish guy, Rashad, from New...

John Seaborn, Dave Leonard, fly the Duck Hawk at the Worlds, there is still time. We all know that the Duck Hawk is as good or better than any 15 meter ship out there, why not help out an American Sailplane company that is creating jobs and showing the world that a small American company can...

An owner of a 15m with 18m tips told me his glider was designed as 18m and the manufacture cut the tips to make removable and that it did not fly well as a 15m. My question is this common or glider specific? How do manufactures design a 15/18m? Do they start with design of 15m and add 3m and...

Looking for a Compaq 1550. Thanks, Sam
