Our Club DG1000 has a mountain high oxy system. We need to source a fitting to retain the bottle Does anyone have a source for sua fiing? Photos?

On my last flight my audio vario suddenly started to read a consistent 300-400 fpm too high for the present conditions. I have a mechanical vario that remained accurate and on my L-Nav screen my average fpm sink rate was correct. Any ideas what I can check? It was really annoying when I was...

Good job Google getting the RAS archive back online Al

Just wondering if anyone familiar with the Little Rock area can provide some suggestions for motels near the convention site with rates in the "1" or "2" tow range versus the "3" tow Convention Hotel.

Hi All, Would anyone be kind enough to send me an electronic copy of the following article from Soaring, March 1998: “Putting the Bite into Weak Drum Brakes”, by Tillmann Steckner I'd like to actually be able to stop my heavy Kestrel 19 when it lands... without using fixed objects likes trees or...

I plan to be at the SSA convention next January for other reasons, but if anyone out there is thinking of giving a presentation on Condor flying, I'd be happy to collaborate and/or help in any way I can. Frank (TA)

I would like to spent a few weeks flying somewhere in Europe this summer. Alps or S. France probably. Can anyone tell me whether I can fly solo in France, Germany, Austria, Italy on my US license? I would also be interested in hearing about a generally good place to fly and rent gliders in that...

Hi, I have enjoyed selling scale sailplane and towplane model kits for about a year now. I recently put together a new brochure which shows all the model kits I sell. They make great gifts! http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/models/Models-Printable.pdf Good Soaring,

I'm going to ramble here and hope someone has the patience and experience to help me :-) So I'm looking at buying an ASW-24, its currently on an Experimental Certificate but if I was ever to want to export the glider from the US to the UK for example), it would need to be on a Standard...

I am looking to compile a list of 'The Ultimate Soaring Adventures'. I'd appreciate any input from the forum on what they see as the pinnacle of soaring whether it is a 1000km task, flying New Zealands wave or some other goal that may be beyond the day-to-day pilots reach. I'll put up a list on a...

It's still possible to get a really neat and appreciated gift for all your glider buddies for $10 or less (that's *each* you tightwad)! In a pinch, can also be used as wedding, anniversary, or birthday present - - though results may vary. I get "bulk" orders for gifts to hand out to other club...

I know I will get replies on each end of the spectrum... but for a first glider, low time pilot, it seems like a 1-26 would be a good choice. Easy to fly, easy to land in tight spaces, cheap to maintain, and very common and there are a few 1-26 groups, so help is available. It's inexpensive (well...

This was discussed here recently. JS was kind enough to drop by Jean and share his experience with the instructors of the LVVSA. Here's a link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QT_IkCb4Tzk

A beautiful reconstruction of the US Air flight that water-landed this year. Very impressive video/audio overlays and analysis! http://www.exosphere3d.com/pubwww/pages/project_gallery/cactus_1549_hudson_river.html

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...

Hi, I have a customer that has asked me to round-up 2 Compaq Aero 1550 PDAs for him. Please let me know if you have 1 or 2 you are willing to sell. Best Regards, Paul Remde Cumulus Soaring, Inc.

YouTube has been upgrading their servers for HD. The "Gliding TV Channel" has a lot of fantastic European soaring videos which seem to stream flawlessly in full screen HD. http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=GlidingTV#g/f

I would appreciate hearing from pilots in the USA who have been using the flyWithCE Flight Recorder. Thanks, John Godfrey (QT) USA Competition Rules Committee

Anyone know? All this 'ultimate soaring adventure' talk got me thinking how cool it would be to do X/C- without the benefit of aerotow/winch/noisy thing... Also called 'slope launch' or 'rolling launch'. For those unfamiliar with this launch...
