https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/06/the_dangers_of_digital_doggy_doors.html The link touches upon an aspect of "digital code complexity" you-n-I have ruefully chuckled about "for a long time now" - specifically, "How can Joe Sixpack-User actually KNOW (what's really going on 'down in...

There are a few old horror stories about taking your parachute on a commercial flight. Anyone have good/bad experience with TSA in the last year or so?

Why are you considering the replacement?Thanks in advance....Regards, Jim Somerville You are kidding, right? Uli Neumann

Dan Reagan and John Lubon covered about 800KM straight out on thermals from Caesar Creek, Ohio to Blairstown, New Jersey yesterday. I have to believe these are the longest straight out thermal flights ever made east of the Mississippi. Anyone know differently?...

I am looking at the files available for download on soaringweb.org. Specifically these for central Florida: http://soaringweb.org/TP/Seminole I use XCsoar/Top Hat and I want to download the file that will show me an airport's radio frequency when I touch the airport symbol on the map. In the past...

Did anyone else notice that cool as hell paintjob on that ASG32Mi For Sale on Wings and Wheels? That is Nice. I'd love for my plane to look like THAT! Plain white is so boring.

Hi, I am currently looking for a ready to fly 1-26E in nice condition with trailer. It looks like there is nothing really out there that doesn't need a new paint job and perhaps some restoration. Can anyone suggest someone who does reasonable paint and restoration work? I am located in the...

I purchased a new set of Schroth belts last season and now I want to add a 5th strap to hold the release down at my waist. I called the distributor and was informed that Schroth hardware is no longer available. So much for buying premium equipment. Does anyone out there have a clip that I can have...

I just finished registering for three contests online through the SAA site. While still on line I received an e-mail titled "On Line Registration". When I opened the e-mail it had nothing to do the soaring contests. Hope I did not pick up a virus! Bill Snead 6W

Might anyone have the address or phone number for Gerhlein Trailers....somewhere in Ohio???? Thanks very much Noel Anderson

I recently lost my laptop and the replacement has no serial port. I purchased a USB - serial converter cable but Cambridge Aero Explorer can't seem to connect to the GPS 20. Anybody have a work around for this problem? Just want to download waypoints and upload flights. Ted

The cannon was fired, at 10 am and the pilots meeting was called to order. Patty Smith, the contest manager said a brief "HI" and then introducted the CD Dick Butler. Dick explained it was important to be nice to the CD, as he has always been, as someday you may be the CD. Cough, heazeeeeeeeeeeeee....

I know this is a little bit out in left field but I'd be interested to know if anyone has experience or information that indicates which of these two all metal gliders has the better polar. I doubt that published L/D has much validity. I've seen Dick Johnson's test report on the L33 but have not...

I replaced the RICO variometer that came with the G102 I bought a few years ago. I believe it still works, and I have a manual. I don't have the tubes and assorted flasks that came with it. If anyone wants it, it is free to a good home. All you need to do is pay shipping, which will probably be...

I'm posting this report in the mid afternoon from the cool, airconditioned motel room in Cordele because no task was called due to the weather forecast. According to our forecaster, and also from numerous forecasts from around the area, we should probably be seeing thundershowers all around. Let...

I'm new to this sport and have a few questions about waxing my ship. Some say NEVER wax because if you ever get wet, you will come down like a STONE. Others say you MUST wax to ward off the TERRIBLE affects of moisture and UV. I'm confused, can anyone help? One more thing, what kind of wax is BEST...
