Repainting a LARK by
Zoltan T
Does anyone have experience repainting a Lark (IS-28B2)
wing?
I know some other metal gliders have their wing profiled
with filler, so any information would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Zoltan

Zoltán Lengyel
Hi All,
Anyone from the US here ? :)
I'm just wondering, how glider instructors are payed in the US (and if there are any considerable differences here and there) - I'm a glider instructor with an EASA license, and I'm thinking about making an FAA conversion in the future, and I'm curious to...

Help Needed: LXNAV S80 and Remote Stick grip by
ZP
I have an S80 and just installed the remote stick. Everything is working fine except the sc glide/climb momentary switch. Pressing it cycles through the menus as if it is wired together with the 'enter' button. It doesn't change between climb and cruise modes as expected. I have auto-switching...

LXNav S80 landing gear voice warning not working by
ZP
I hooked up reed sensors from my spoilers and landing gear to the S80 expecting to get voice warning but it isn't working. I know it is hooked up right because the hardware page displays the sensed positions. Gear up = red, gear down = green. Spoilers retracted = green, Spoilers open = red. ...

LXNav S80 latest firmware by
ZP
I loaded the latest firmware and got a peculiar issue. The numbers around the vario rosette are not displayed when the units are US or English. They display fine in metric units. I reloaded it twice and got the same result.. Anyone seen this problem but me?

Non-discrete transponder codes for gliders by
zulu
Rumor has (had), it that the Feds were about to authorize a nation
wide non-discrete transponder code for gliders which was to be 0000 in
lieu of the current VFR squawk of 1200. Does anyone know anything
about this or is this just another pipe dream?

Wanted - Water ballast adjustment Screw LS-3a by

In an effort to get "Big Ugly's" water ballast system working
correctly I was hoping one of you might have the dump adjustment screw
from the ballast rocker. I only need one and prefer not to spend 500
Euros on a service contract. This is for an LS-3a, but they are the
same on many LS's and I...

A friend from Tucson showed up at Fidel's shop for some work on his Discus2b and it was discovered that the black plastic tool that fits into the end of the wing tip for both rigging as well as trailering had broken in two. I examined the ones I have for my Discus and discovered evidence of...

The Un-Sung Hero of Parawan by

OK, so un-sung hero may be a bit strong, but I thought Tom Kelly did
an excellent job of getting the Region nine contest off the ground.
Although I might have missed the cudos he was given during the awards
dinner, I don't recall anyone singling him out.
The low stress, (as low stress as a contest...

The OLC by

THE OLC
I'm of the opinion that the OLC is the best thing that has happened to cross country flying since the advent of the GPS data logger. Having said that, who are these guys any way? Let's start with Ken Sorenson from Houston. This guy is a one man club and it looks like he has racked up...

Hard Water Deposits by
[email protected]
The only negative thing I can think about when flying from Moriarty,
NM is that unless you want to spend big bucks on distilled water, you
have to use the local stuff which leaves hard water deposits on the
glider.
Does anyone have any good solutions, (yes, pun intended) for this
problem?
