Just wanted to fish for the procedures and experiences out there on this subject. Our overhauler and our mechanic both say no towing for 10-18 hours.... We can do this, of course, but we are eager to get back to towing as soon as we can. Any experience or procedures out there that might get us...

The Schempp-Hirth web sites does not have information on the Ventus 2 anymore. Looking for numerical data on the cockpit sizing differences between the Ventus 2 A model, CXA, B(X) and C and CX. I am selling my 2CX and a tall pilot is trying it on for size and is interested in understanding the...

Dreaming about next summer... Other than drag, is there any reason to not remove my canopy and go soaring? Experimental airworthiness.

I have always encouraged and allowed young capable pilots to fly my aerobatic Pilatus B4PC11AF. It now seems, insurance companies have prohibited me from allowing young enthusiastic pilots to fly my B4. Aerobatic flying is a very safe sport-the pilots are more attuned than XC pilots. Most...

Recent activity with heavy equipment such as wheel loaders and bulldozers is making huge improvements to Treasure Coast Soaring in Vero Beach. Looks like we could be making available about 50 RV pads for seasonal fliers. I will keep you posted.

Anybody have any experience and / or advice on putting vortex generators on our Cessna 182 (swept tail) tow plane? Do they actually do much? Or are they hocus-pocus? We often tow with 15 to 20 knot, gusty, direct cross winds. Also, on take off, we have a paved taxiway crossing our grass...

A year ago I decided I was going to give something back to my club by becoming a CFIG. I was hoping that I might find several other club members who would take this journey together with me, but now, ready for my checkride, I am the only candidate. Why do so few people seem to want to do this? The...

2 things: 1) Does anyone have a detailed guide or notes on placement of turbulator tapes on the ASG29? 18 meter is the priority, 15 meter sections would be nice to have. I am also looking for an inventory list of what size, brand, type of seals and t tape to buy, etc. 2) Does anyone have an...

So I'm a student Pilot at Wurtsboro in NY and need help. My thighs are big..... and it makes slow flight, slips, and keeping wings level almost impossible. In other words, I can't move the ailerons at Slow Speeds. Any cushion setups or help! Thank you!

Trying to get in touch with Art if anyone can assist. Thanks Paul.

I'm an averagely useless XC pilot living in a visitor intensive place and get asked to do Lead n Follow flights with some regularity. I've tried, on quite a few occasions and short of herding cats, I can't think of anything less likely to succeed. The main issue is, keeping track of where...

Have the chance to pick up an L13 for very cheap I know these are making a comeback and in the future may have a certified repair facility in the U.S. This would be a great egg to sit on for a while and maybe have shipped overseas in a group shipment or wait for a facilitiy in North America to...

Does anybody have a Becker 4201 radio to sell? Terry
