Winching (European tips for US clubs) by
Chris Reed[_1_]
A number of the current threads talk about winching in the US. As this
is fairly new to the US, and old hat in Europe, it might be useful for
European readers to offer tips to US clubs who are thinking of trying it.
My tips would be:
1. A 3,000 ft run is enough, but 3.5-4k ft is better. 3k ft...

ASK13 hangar ceiling by
[email protected]
We want to hang up our ASK13 in our hanger.
Our ASK13 has a nose wheel and glass fuselage modification, that is why a rope or a band/strap hang is not possible.
We know there are 2 holes on the outside of the fuselage around the mid section of the cockpit.
Maybe this can be an option for...

The most fundamental problem is that we invented too many towplane

canopy seal by
[email protected]
Hi there, I have about 70 ft. of 5.5 mm silicone tube that I used to
seal my canopy. The manufacturer is selling it in 100 ft section and
that is how I ended up with that excessive amount. If anyone has an
interest of buying it, please call me at 509-380-4106.

ATR 500 display by
Martin Gregorie[_4_]
I have a Filser ATR 500 that can be hard to read under some lighting
conditions. I'm not using the display backlight.
I'd be grateful if any ATR 500 owner who has tried using the backlight
can tell me if its worth disturbing the wiring harness to turn it on and
if so, is there a further benefit...

Turning radii and spanwise airspeed distribution by
JJ Sinclair
Good observation, Bill. Most long wingers have found it best to keep the nose
pointed towards the outside of the turn. It helps the climb. Your yaw string
should be telling you to, "Put your foot in the inside hole". Just don't do it.
Does that make sense?

Or what to do when the weather says, "no soaring".

financial or other connections with this, but they sure is fun!):

Jantar (was Cirrus v ASW) by
Jono Richards
Jeff,
A Jantar is a fantastic machine, with good performance
for the price. Shame you cant use one with a 'normal'
canoy, but really and truly a split canopy is of no
hindrence what-so-ever. With regards to tipping over
- its probably the least of your worries if you are
landing in a field where...

Forthcoming BBC Radio program by

Those of you who can (but don't) listen to BBC Radio 4 may be
interested to know that there's a program, "The White Stuff", on
Monday 17 May about clouds. It may be good, it may be terrible. Who
knows? But now you know about it.
