SeeYou - "Calculate minimum distance to next observation zone" by
Tom
SeeYou has an option in the task window called "Calculate

Four Static Ports! Which to Use? by
John DeRosa Sky Soaring Chicago IL
I need you opinion on which static ports to use on the DG. The
friendly folks at Glaser-Dirks provided me with two pairs of static
ports on my DG.
One pair is near my toes, the second pair near my knees. The only

does provide the tightest and most complete integration with the Cambridge
Recorder Boxes.
I have fixed the 2004/1994 date rollover problem and...

Rico Vario free to good home by
Jim Phoenix
I bought a wrecked 1-26 a while back and it came with a Rico vario
(serial number VAS2095) that appears to work just fine with power
applied. There is no wiring harness, otherwise it's OK. If someone has
a use for it, I'll mail it to you for the cost of postage... or trade
for low-time Nimbus 4M...

West Coast Jack PW-9 aerobatic glider by
Charles Yeates
Today, a report from Poland said, “There is no progress on the PW-9
project due to lack of funds. I don’t see that it will happen soon. I
think that the university project team has switched to working on an
ultra light project.”

antenna installation in a glider? by
ken ward
If you had to (re)install an antenna in a glider, how would you do it?
What material would you use, what length would it be, how would you
terminate the aft end, how do you get the aft end all the way back there
and secured, etc?
Thanks,
Ken

As the proud new owner of a PDA (oh yeah and a Discus to go with it), I'm
