I ran across this fascinating thesis on winch launching from Germany by Christoph Santel (2008). It uses Matlab+Simulink for the modelling platform. He deals with a variety of issues such as steel vs synthetic cable....

On the Cumulus Soaring website, it described the Nano 4 map as North Up only. Yet the most recent manual from LXNav says you can select North Up or Track Up. I wonder if updated firmware allows the Track Up option now. Does anyone know? I also read the Colibri X manual and it does specify Track Up...

After many years of service, both of our fuselage mounted rear view mirrors are failing. The mechanic who installed them said they were made by TOST. They resemble automotive side view mirrors. Anyone know where I can get a pair? Easy now grin

Any ideas? I have updated the NA .cit file, etc. I have never seen this problem before. Thanks.

Hello, Anyone have a good set of points to indoctrinate an SN10B on the ways of a LAK-12? I cannot quite get the numbers I need from the LAK owner's manual, and the polar is not included in the canned bunch that comes with the ILEC. Nimbus II is close, I suppose, but I'd like to get it...

In my experience, owning a higher performance glider just means that you land out further away! Admittedly I fly in damp little Britain, so the further you go, the more likely you are to encounter a poor airmass. Derek C -------------------------------- At 19:18 30 January 2006, Bob Whelan...

Nasty incident on a small charter today. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/090416/national/plane_jumper

Page 27 of the December issue of Soaring magazine shows a pic of an LS-10 at the 2008 WGC seemingly very low over the ground and "about to touch down" . The picture does not show the landing gear down. Does anyone know the outcome of this particular landing ? Cheers, Charles

A fellow instructor and I were just musing today that this is the perfect weather for students. We live and fly in some of the most dynamic soaring conditions in the world, where half the year you're being battered by thermals from 11:00 am until sunset, and a good part of the rest of the year the...

I've seen mention of this quite a bit, but have not been able to find examples of the different ways to do this. Anyone care to elaborate on what you do? By the way, I have a flight computer with GPS (302/303) and also have the GlidePlan software for printing areas of sectionals with...

Has anybody been able to post and score flights using either WinPilot or a EW microRecorder? How many people posted last year but gave up this year? Just curious....

Anybody know where I can get a 1-23D Rudder? Round style rudder, but bigger than the original short wing 1-23 rudder. Cam Tehachapi

I am looking into purchasing Klaus Ansorge's 1984 Ventus B, formerly owned by George Sanders. I would appreciate any background info anyone may have so I may feel as confident as possible with my purchase.
