med requirements? by 242

Moving map query by Martin Gregorie
Has anybody used SoaringPilot on a Palm m100? If so: - what are its pros and cons? - how does the m100 display readability compare with an IPAQ 3630 or 3850 in the cockpit? TIA,

GPS-NAV - IPAQ cabling quest by Guy Byars
I want to use the serial cable attached to the docking cradle of my IPAQ 3800 to connect to the serial port on a GPS-NAV. Does anyone know the pin -to- pin connection schematic for this cable? Or is it a plain null cable? Guy Byars (remove NEYTSPAM to reply)

First West to East Sierra Crossing from Hollister by RamyYanetz
On Labor Day, Brian Choate flew his DG300 from Hollister to Truckee, setting a milestone by crossing the Sierras in the middle over Yosemite. As far as we know, this is the first time someone "really" crossed the Sierras from west to east, rather than going around the north or south end. Here is...

gear warning plus by K.P. Termaat
Hello, Several reactions on my "gear warning plus" system inspired me to introduce a pressure switch to the original diagram. Now the conditions "still on the ground and ready for take off" can be distinguished from "in flight and ready to land". Have another look at...

Plans Built Glider? by Eggs
Hi folks, I hope this question isn't terribly redundant, but I am having a heck of a time locating any sailplane plans. In the '70s they were everywhere, but now that I have both the inclination and the facilities and the resources, the only plans I find a 1) a 1929 Primary...

Distance Task Opinions? by Kilo Charlie
Some interesting comparisons were recently pointed out to me from a British friend between the European and US tasking. It seems that more emphasis is placed upon distance in Europe to the point that we in the US would view it as impossible task calls. One only has to look at the World...
