Its my understanding DG and Lange do not "finish" their sailplanes. What third party company does this for them?

With the new technology of SPOT and InReach, do you still need or want an ELT?

Missed your daily reports from the Seniors. Changing SOP?

Assuming current runs from panels to a charge controller to a battery switching mechanism (rotary switch?) to a selected battery. Most "full monty" panels now draw +/- 2 amps/hour.

So whats new and cool at the convention?

Would like to see a JS 1 jet...any flying in the US and if so, where?

How is this paint is holding up on sailplanes?

First congratulations to you and your team for the incredible wave flights. Outstanding! If not a proprietary secret, I would be interested in knowing the make and model of the clothes you wear to stay warm during your long, cold flights. I'm especially interested in knowing how you keep your...

I'm curious how a late model Subaru Outback handles the load of a sailplane trailer. I'm looking at a 3.6 liter V6 with auto trans. If you use an Outback as a tow vehicle, please share your experiences and detail the motor size, transmission, and towing terrain. Thanks ben

So if you have an ELT that broadcasts GPS such as the ACK-A-30-4, what is the best way to get 9400 baud to the GPS?

Sunday, November 3. How were the Allegheny ridges working yesterday from Eagle Field, PA to Covington, VA. Any over-development or snow showers?

Anyone had any experience with the Zeus? Please share your opinions on its quality and performance.

Experienced LXNAV's FlarmView and it is impressive. More visible and better audio than Butterfly anything.However, its another instrument requiring dedicated panel space. Panels are beginning to look like over decorated Christmas trees. Is there a PDA software offering FlarmView equal FLARM...

It would be reasonable to say the US soaring community was quite impressed with Sarah's WGC podium performance. Well earned and just outstanding! As if her podium finish wasn't enough, her podium appearance certainly was the "plat de résistance". No sir re Bob...no ragged, dirty airport clothes...

Anyone have the Schreder trailer "instructions" scanned and willing to share with me? PM me for email address and thanks for your help.
