Does anyone have a copy of the circuit schematics ( not the installation wiring) for this radio. I have schematics for lots of other airband radios if anyone needs one. Ken Reynolds krenateircom.net

Is the stuff in the #2 WX block supposed to be a runny liquid? I was expecting something a little more like the seal material.............I almost poured the whole damn bottle on the top of my wing! Brad

We tend to focus on ease of use, function and support when we select a flavor soaring software. But what about reliability and robustness? It seems entirely possible to be mislead by erroneous output from a digital adviser. For example, the glider computer might erroneously advise that you have...

....playing with some flight eval software, don't want IGC files. If you have flights logged with a generic GPS (not a certified IGC logger) please let me know. They should be complete from takeoff to landing. Thanks, Tom

Why don't people in SRA and SSA get the message about contest safety? A unnecessary loss of life because the FINISH GATE was used and not a FINISH CYLINDER. Charlie Spratt and the top racing pilots want the finish gate at contests because it is so exciting! All the near misses in the pull ups and...

Ok you prepeg carbon fiber flying guys, lets hear from you! Everybody else has chimed in but we have heard from very few actual owners of the SparrowHawk. Does is really perform, handle, assemble easily, fit you comfortably, tow easily, thermal well, and impress you? Gary Osaba could set a world...

Hi, I'm planning to attend a mountain flying course at CNVV in St. Auban in June, and I'm trying to get answers to a couple of questions from others who have flown there. First, I speak only enough French to mangle a dinner order. How much of an obstacle is that likely to be both for flight...

Yes I know they’re problematic. Just returned our PA 25-235 from its annual, where one of ours was rebuilt (locked solid) and both serviced. Like I assume many of yours are, our Pawnee has no hopper and will never see gross weight again. So should the air side of the struts still be 575psi per...

We have cats and just got a new type of litter for them called SoPhresh Gel Lock. This stuff would be great in a zip lock pee bag! Super absorbent and turns into a gel immediately. I have not tried it in flight yet, but once i saw how this stuff worked i knew it would be great to put in some pee...

I know, I know. BTDT. Has anyone purchased a NEW sailplane lately, and been happy with the wheel brake? The ONLY glider I've ever flown with a decent (not great, but decent) wheel brake is the LVVSA's G103 Twin Astir. For me, a GREAT brake will REQUIRE moderation on my part to keep from grinding...

I can't believe how cheap oximeters are getting. Standard fingertip models are available for $50; fingertip and wrist units with alarms, data logging, and software are available for less than $300. $50 Fingertip unit oximeter (no more excuses for using oxygen without...

I'm looking at a parachute for a glider. Would like to use it for other flying, as well, if it is suitable. INo clue of the advantages/ disadvantages of any of them. Suggestions?

Today Gordon Boettger flew his Kestrel on a 3TP flight of about 1800km out of Minden, Nevada. A sunrise takeoff lead to the first turn near Chilcoot, then South to near Inyokern, back North to Susanville, then down to Palmdale. This flight handily beats my flight of last year on a similar route. ...

What are your favorite aircraft types (and modifications) for glider towing in high density altitude and/or short runways?

Hey guys, I need your help. Someone asked me if there was a video on the internet that would show them a little about the sport of Soaring . Guys, I need your input….and thanks in advance. I honestly do not surf the you tube site and don’t know of any off hand. I have seen the one with the...

Fellow r.a.s.'ers: Tell me about the Lark. I don't yet know which model, but I hear that our club is about to acquire one. Should I be ecstatic, or concerned?
