Hi, I have just added two very interesting products to my web site. "Zulu Romeo: Good Start" is a wonderful documentary about the 1974 World Gliding Championships in Waikerie, South Australia. This is the first time this great film has been available for sale on DVD. If you haven't seen it...

Open MSN, Nike Zoom Lebron Soldier 3, a few days, saw like a day, ahead and later a lot of people's names, all with a ruddy heart and China, the network's bbs, it is a no, this signature, that apply opposition Auchan, Carrefour boycott, surging tide of patriotism, Tibetan separatist ingredients...

What happened? Ian

On a recent visit to Zimbabwe, from neighbouring S.Africa, I found that the previous Midlands Gliding club was 'broken'. Most 'non-natives' have left the country. I'm told that previously known Sunnyside gliding club has relocated, but can't trace the new location. Please post any info which may...

Hi, I used to visit Zimbabwe for gliding facilities. The best weather is starting now. There were facilities in Gweru : Harvey Quail, Paul Cooper ...etc. , and facilities in Harare. Now when I phone previously valid numbers, they are all 'native' occupants. Have all the 'whites' fled ?

On the subject of Zig Zag Tape Positioning (on Masak Winglets and Wing Fairing), and more Hi Chris,

I have an LXNavigation Zeus 5.5 with USB D60 vario for sale. Comes with AHRS,"Joy" stick control and Colibri 2.In excellent condition. Can be seen on glidersource.com $2700 USD plus postage from New Zealand.

Hi Anybody using the Zeus system from LX navigation, your comments are welcome. Thank you Gilles

Back in the good old days the Diamond Goal did not have to be a closed course. Did anyone ever go from no badges whatsoever and do a +5 hr declared 500+km straight distance flight along with a 5000 meter altitude gain to claim Silver, Gold, and all 3 diamonds on the same flight?

Hi, I have enjoyed following the WGC in Poland. I was somewhat surprised that there are no ASH 30 Mi flying in the open class contest. Is there some issue that makes them non-competitive in that soaring location, or in general? Best Regards,

I've been seeing some of the small Zaon traffic avoidance units (http://www.zaon.aero) and they look pretty slick. The larger module even will hook into many GPS displays. Knowing that such a product will only come down in price and in size, can one of the larger, XRX, units be plugged into any...

While we’re lauding service to the gliding community consider this: (Thanks Tim on another thread) I have had my MRX for several years, and have never seen an indication that there was traffic anywhere. At the end of a runway at Pearson International in Toronto, it told me...

Are these units reliable and worth having in your glider? Are they consistent enough to trust in a real threat situation? Nick

I am interested in hearing from users of the Zaon MRX traffic alert system. If you have used this new device, would you please comment?

Is this still available? Is the refurbish mostly for cosmetic/display or is there any software or performance update? Thanks rstutzmann @ gmail.com

Working Zaon MRX for sale. Using Flarm now so I don't need it. First $100.00 takes it.

I'm starting a new thread on this topic as the old one sort of drifted off-topic and its conclusions don't seem to reflect what I've found... I have a Zaon MRX which is *using external ship's power* which is causing radio interference. I know it's the Zaon because when the radio goes to static,...

With my new Zaon MRX PCAS mounted on top of my glare shield, I've been experiencing some radio interference and linked this to the MRX: the radio gives white-noise static -- like the squelch is not properly adusted. When I turn the MRX off it goes away. I've heard putting a "ferrite core" around...

A ZAON MRX fell into my lap. I'm checking it out for the first time. Lots of traffic is detected, but there is no audible warning sound. When the mute button is pressed, the little dot flashes in the corner. When unmuted the dot is gone but no sound comes out of the box. Simple fixes? Is a...
