Is anybody else having noise issues when the Oudie is hard wired to ships power. I know two aircraft that have the squelch turned on to try to drown out the noise on the radio. I believe it is from the Oudie while it is being charged. I recently added the Oudie to the aircraft and now the radio...

Maybe this has been covered in RAS but I couldn't find it. I looked through two documents about the spacing of FLARM antennas, specifically the FLARM A and ADS-B antennas. Obviously, the thing to avoid is the transmitting of FLARM data (A antenna) interfering with ADS-B (or GPS) reception. The...

I've got a trailer that was damaged a few years back when a load of snow slid off the roof and landed right on the skin. About 5 of the fiberglass ribs are broken and the skin is fractured, split and generally ripped apart in a few areas. Has anyone got some idea about how to repair the broken...

Please note that as of November 9th Wings & Wheels has a new home I have since having had some medical issues in the past year had to think about how much I could continue the pace and remain in control of running all business operations should something more seriously happen. I also turned 62...

This forum is great for general discussion, opinions on nearly everything germane to it's topic and otherwise (unfortunately), and various other uses. However, it does not allow for any presentation of attachments, graphics, or other useful information. I am likely in a small minority, but when I...

The ongoing saga of my glider club's fight with the local airport board at LaGrange, GA (LGC)continues. A formal complaint was made by us to the local FAA who pulled both parties in to a joint meeting in May where the airport board was explicitly told that "They (the gliders) *will* be allowed to...

Well done Soar Point The fact that he comes out with his points just once in a while, makes it very interesting! BUT.......for us who could not make it to the Convention, could we have some reports, stories. What gliders were on the floor, Talks, lectures, items?

We are getting close to getting our first winch operation going and need to develop some Ops and Procedures. I hate starting with a "blank page" Anybody have some Ops and Procedures to send my way to get started? Regards, Frank My return address is slightly modified to reduce SPAM.

Anybody have experience in using this? Would it help towing a COBRA trailer with a small car?

Hello, For the next IGC meeting in March 2005 at Lausanne we filed a proposal to amend the note "turn points must be at least 10 km apart and may be claimed only once" in rule 1.4.3.c. and 1.4.5.b. This is to avoid that large sportif flights like the 1000km flight given...

I have recieved conflicting answers about the airbrake position while my Cirrus is tied down outside. Can the experts of RAS clarify this for me? Thanks ahead of time!

Soarist It is thanks to the many hundreds of hours of research, investigation and dedication by the California City Glider Pilots Action Group and the soaring community in general. That we at least temporarily have some hope of Caltrans re-permitting Cal City Airport to return to the safe, sane...

One of the hydraulic struts on my Komet trailer went flat (the ones that hold the top up). In what would be a very un-gliderpilot-like act, I guess I should replace them both. But where? Any clues? 05

Asked a question I could not answer yesterday..... Why does the towplane indicated airspeed always indicate so much higher than the glider behind? As much as 10 knots. Consistent with the Pipers, Cessnas and Grummans. And yes, compensated for kts. vs. mph. Thanks, Michael

Just finished this conversion. Found a flat-free wheel and tire at the local Tractor Supply Co (tractorsupply dot com). SKU 3553230 "Never Flat Tire, 8 inch". It's rated for 220lb / 100kg and has a 2.50x4 tire. It's soft enough to provide some shock absorption. But that wheel has 5/8" bearings, and...

I recently upgraded a 302A flight recorder at Cambridge. It has the USB port installed. I am now trying to use my laptop to download the data. Jeff over at Cambridge did not say what type of USB cable was necessary to download the files but there are different types of USB cables. I have a USB to...

I'm looking for a blue tint Mecaplex sliding canopy window with pop out air scoop. Don't need the guide rails. Anyone have one from a broken canopy? Terry
