Hi all, I have a set of two (2) unused, brand new pneumatic wheels for an IMI self-rigger for sale. They are the size 4.00 - 4 and fit the standard IMI axle. If your self-rigger needs a little extra height, this is the easiest way of accomplishing that. I had the opposite issue and needed less...

https://techcrunch.com/2018/10/04/despite-objection-congress-passes-bill-that-lets-homeland-security-shoot-down-private-drones/?yptr=yahoo I just hope that there is some kind of training involved for the guys doing the shooting so they can tell the difference between a true UAV and a glider....

..... and contrary to some other recent video suggestions, this one is actually soaring related! :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mrnis7-hvJE Uli 'AS'

I have a question for all the electronic wizards out there. My radio is only giving a carrier signal but no modulation. I have the following set-up: Dittel FSG71M Dittel speaker box F10061 with two DIN connectors for two microphones (only one used) Dynamic goose neck microphone F10039 I tried both...

Hi all in US-glider land! I am in the process of installing my brand new core and intend to use the Dsub9 connector for power. Can anyone confirm which color cable is connected to pin 7 (+) and pin 5 (-)? Why do they keep that such a secret - the manual does not give a hint? I paid good money for...

Hi all in Glider-Land! Does anyone have a good number for how long it takes or the FLARM Core to boot up? Background: I am trying to update my Butterfly 57mm round display to the latest revision. The instructions say to connect the USB stick with the update file to the FLARM port, push and hold the...

Ran across this link showing a RC glider being flown at 548mph (882km/h)! The video is dizzying to watch and one can barely follow the glider going through 120g turns. Would be cool if we could replicate this in a more survivable way for the pilot and glider. I know it has been done in the past but...

Hi all in Glider-Land, the Carolina Soaring Association is hosing its annual Winch Clinic. The clinic will be taking place on Friday, October 5 (ground school) and October 6/7 (flying). Since our home field KSPA is still closed due to construction, we will be flying at the Triple Tree Aerodrome...

Greetings all, I just purchased a used aircraft with an SN10 and a Clearnav in it. I decided to go with the Clearnav, so I'm selling the SN10. They list for 2200 Euros on the German website - I'm happy to offer a bargain so I'll take the first offer of $1000, which I think is a helluva deal. It...

The manual mentions that a CG hook can be mounted on the landing gear. Does anyone have instructions from the factory on that process? Thanks Phil

Hi. I'm searching for the cheapest SSR transponder and transciver with 8.33 channel separation that could be mounted on a sailplane. I actually don't know if this must be brand new, its just have to work properly in Europe. I've found some products of MicroAir but the price for new stuff is quite...

Has anyone adjusted the output of the StroblSolar Chargecontroller OS1 to better match the needs of a K2 battery? If so, can you please share the modifications. Regards, Bob Fletcher

Folks, I recently committed to talk about some European racing techniques highlighted in my World's report at a team camp. The guidelines for when to search for thermals and when to park and exploit others doing the searching are interesting. The camp will likely be run alongside the Cordele cross...

Folks, The US Team Committee are organizing a short Team Camp following the SSA Convention in Little Rock. It will take place on Sunday, February 23rd, from 9am through mid-afternoon. The facility will accommodate about 35 people. I'll be reaching out to the current team pilots and reserves,...

hi, have somebody experiences with the new yaw-free tek probes offered by k6team.de ? thanks and cheers Mike

I'm flying in my first gliding competition this year. I've flown a reasonable number of XC tasks over the last couple of years and thought it would be fun to enter a small local competition. My glider is in pretty good condition and I'll be polishing it before the competition, but what other tips...

I'm interested to know if primary gliders were capable of soaring flights or if they only flew short hops. The SG 38, for example, has a sink rate of 1.3 m/s so in theory it's possible. I'd be very interested to hear of any stories about soaring one of these gliders.

Hello Everyone, I'm happy to help announce the new ASK-14 website is now on-line. Created by Klaus Peter Gies in Germany and I've helped provide an English version. Check out... www.ASK14.org If you are unfamiliar with the ASK-14, It is Alexander Schleicher Factory built wooded motorglider. ...
