Hey Guys, I am excited to announce that the second annual Aero Club Albatross winter seminars tickets are now available at: February 2nd: Soaring with the Champions - Higher, Farther, Faster, Longer! https://aca-soaring-with-champs.eventbrite.com - March 2nd: Gliding to Racing- Learning to...

On or around August 1.

So I've got my new PowerFlarm brick installed and I'd guess that it was losing the other PowerFlarm in the area when the distance between us was between 2 to 2.5 miles. Obviously this is good for collision avoidance, but I was kind of hoping for more range. The other pilot reported similar range....

For those who haven't yet seen it, we have released our end of season video. Just a bunch of junior pilots from the UK having fun, including flying the World Championships in Poland. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ1jnQtCMiM Cheers

A machinist buddy of mine made me a TE tube for my 2-33 and it worked great, but I no longer have that ship. He is at sea so I can't reach him and I need to make another one for my "new" 2-33. It was just a tube about 4" long with a hole on the back side as you might expect and we mounted it behind...

I just received a wing wheel for my new glider from MM Fabrication. I did not check for fit yet, but I have to say I am impressed with the build quality. When I was about to make a decision which wing wheel to buy I looked for information here and I did not find much. This is the reason I am...

I am pleased to announce IGC-approval for the LXNAV Nano 4 Flight Recorder from LXNAV of Celje, Slovenia, for "all flights" including world records. This is a small stand-alone recorder with a screen, and sensors for engine operation using both low and high frequency noise. The low frequency...

Last year I was looking for such a device to allow me to montitor my speed more easily on approach so I didn't have to glance at the panel during this critical stage of flight. I found this affordable, small box that plumbs into your pitot line and runs on 12V. It is made in England. I only turn it...

Hallo, I'm working on my panel redesign. It's a "long distance project" with me on one continent and the glider on another... Would someone with a "winter access" to his glider take some measurements for me? - what is the exterior dimension of Ilec engine controller? I know it is 57mm hole but...

Well, It's been about 1 year asked about where to learn to fly gliders in Central FL on this newsgroup. Several of you directed me to Seminole Lake Gliderport, and my mom purchased an intro flight for me for my 37th birthday 6/21/2008. I did my 1st flight (my intro) on Dec 12 2008, and today,...

Does anyone know of any Clubs/Commercial operations around the Lisbon area? Thanks, Bob

In a recent thread it was asserted that it was possible to get sport pilot airplane privileges without taking a knowledge test and flight test if the pilot held a private glider rating. For some reason I cannot see that thread. I had doubts that this was true and followed up with AOPA. The text...

Is there any soaring going on at Willis Gliderport in Boynton Beach FL these days? -- Mike Schumann -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

If anyone knows where I could find either a complete frame AND plexi canopy for the rear cockpit of a Twin Astir (not Twin II) I'd appreciate the help. Our Canadian Freedoms Wings program for paraplegic pilots is at a standstill as we've broken our rear canopy. Its a frustrating position to be in...
