Hi All, I am a fairly new CFI-G, just completed my second season teaching. at a small but growing club. One area of opportunity we have for improvement is in preparing our students for the written and oral exams. To help with this I am thinking of running my first ground school. I am looking...

Hi All, My first CFI-G renewal is coming up. I have not been able to find any glider focused ones scheduled between now and my September 30th expiration date. Is it okay to use a non glider (airplane) focused FIRC for a CFI-G renewal? Any recommendations for a FIRC, I am leaning towards one of...

Hi All, I am new to this group and last fall added a glider rating to my ASEL certificate. I am planning to replace my car this summer and in anticipation of purchasing a glider someday, I would like to purchase a vehicle that would do a good job towing a glider. I also want it to get the best...

What's a good way to wind up a tow rope quickly and easily, store it, and unwind it again without it getting into tangle? I remember that the Scottish Gliding Union had a good method back in the 70s, can any member explain that?

Does anyone know a US source for the solid-tire tailwheel of a 2003 Ventus 2cxm (steerable)? Its marked Downey California, but the maker's name is worn away.

I'd like to get back in touch with Gary. Tell him Andrew is asking.

I've started carrying my Inreach in a fanny pack. They are cheap, and if rotated so the pack lies between parachute straps, offer a comfortable way to keep safety equipment attached in the event of a baleout.

I obediently had my Trig 22 two-yearly check done today. The tech brought out his hand-held device, and the check was done. 10mins and $200. Musing on this cost, which was more than my last annual, it occurred to me, that the previous day I had obtained a free FAA report on my adsb/transponder in...

My Trig22 now generates ADSB-out in my Experimental glider. I'd like to add a reasonable-cost adsb-in receiver and a bright panel-mounted traffic display (I can't see iphone or ipad screens here in the western sunlight). Any suggestions? I see the PingUSB adsb receiver ($200) and the AirAvionics...

I've got a Becker AR 3201 radio that was factory configured to accept a standard mic (rather than dynamic). Works fine with a Plantronics headset (carbon equivalent mic). I'd like to install a Peiker Acustic boom mic. The specs on the Peiker electret mic (ME510) are Operating Voltage 1.5v to...

Less than 10 years old, with current, valid repack/inspection. If you have one you'd like to sell, let me know. Thanks, Tom A

Looking for a rigger to use on ASW 20. Have seen both brands in common use. The IMI seems to cost less. Would be interested in discussion of pros and cons of the two different makes. Tom A

In addition to max gross weight, some glider manuals specify a max weight for non lift producing components. But I haven't found much discussion of the significance of exceeding the max or information that would allow one to calculate the weight of non-lifting components (like a breakout showing...

I'm sure I'm way behind on this, but yesterday I flew on a new 737-800 with "Split Scimitar" winglets. One airline claimed 3% fuel savings. That seems optimistic to me, but every little bit helps. Is anybody working on adaptations for gliders? SF

Has any body used these in a salf launcher? Thay are made by " knew" American Tracey Tabart
