Working on an LS-3 project. Lost the wing pins and need replacements if anyone has a set to spare. Also need to source the internal seals between the wing and flaperons. Anyone got any leads?

Our club (SLSA) has a nice 1-34 that we want to encourage XC in; however our trailer (a basic Schweizer multi-glider open trailer) is missing the fittings needed to secure the glider to it - fuselage tiedowns, tail holders, etc. The rest of the trailer is in OK shape, so we want to make up new...

I agree. Excellent report, however he is not retiring from competition flying, quite the opposite. He still intends to fly competitions, but will be selective about which ones. At 05:54 14 May 2018, krasw wrote: Excellent report worth reading everyone. This pilot now obviously knows the risks...

Brilliant Mk VIII description & video and I just love the quote: - "No solution is too complicated for a Lange glider, right Axel". But the MkVIII itself clearly need to be updated, I mean using actual panel switches is so last century: what's wrong with voice actuation? Surely modern software...

I'm sorry to report that Jim Hard - 1-26 pilot extraordinaire - has taken his final glide. He died peacefully yesterday evening in the hospital surrounded by friends and family. He will be missed by many - both within and outside the Minnesota Soaring Club. Good finish 271! Lou

Does anyone know or have suggestions on how to fit a belly hook into a std. cirrus . Are there any fittings or mods available. My new email is rrobins242@gmail .com. YT. Richard Robins

There must be a good number of our crowd out there that contributed their talents to getting us to the moon via the Apollo program. One is Roy Cundiff (formerly “R1� Ventus) who was an engineer on those mighty first stage F1 engines that put out 7.5 million pounds of thrust, consuming 318,000...

I recall that someone wanted a Cosim pellet vario for a vintage glider. There was one at the back of my instrument cupboard. The pellets slide freely. $10 plus postage. John Firth

Oooops.......severe hangar rash has resulted in a crushed elevator on our Grob 103 Twin III. A repair is being considered, but it will be both costly and lengthy. Anyone know of an elevator that might be for sale? .....even a minimally-damaged one? Thanks, Michael San Antonio

Hey all I'm arriving Charlotte Apt 5pm on Wed 17th and wondering if anyone else is arriving similar time - I need to figure out a 1 way ride to Greenville on the Wed evening. I guess there are shuttles but thought gliding company would be more enjoyable. Can help with cost sharing. Anyone...

Good speed to fly vario. Needs see you or fly with CE for full functionality. Don't think it talks to LK8000. Can work as an audio vario only. Can throw in a Garmin GPS puck. I upgraded to V7. new $1600, offered at $400

Just a few summer memories playing in the Duo near Tioga Pass in the Sierra. Now that the cold wx is upon us, something to look forward to for next summer. Best watched in HD. Gordo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpEmWs-2SIE

Tony Verhulst said, 'Ok, answer C says 'The best lift/drag speed with no regard to wind velocity.'. So, Tony's best lift/drag speed is 50 knots and I'm flying into a 50 knot headwind at 50 indicated. And, I'm going ... where?

The possibility of my becoming an instructor has arisen. Again - I got as far as buying the handbook once before, but was put off by the quality of that publication and by the standards of the pedagogy I saw in newly trained instructors and heard about in the course. I'm hoping that things either...

MGSA's G102 is in need of new brake system--or rebuild for old one. I have emailed Linder for for info, part numbers, etc,no response so far. I am told it is a BMW motorcycle brake, from Magura. I am located in the Atlanta, Georgia, USA, and have sources for BMW motorcycle parts. The master...

We have a few Aero 1550's left. These were bought in a close-out sale and appear to be new. The main batteries are good and we replaced the back-up batteries. We know they are hard to find these days. US $ 140.- with sync cradle and universal charger. Most other models available. From iPaq 31XX...
