All Hoping for some help here - My Std Cirrus has cam style hotellier fittings and I havent been able to find a wedekind sleeve that works with these rather than the vertical plunger style.. Any clues for finding sleeves for these? Thanks in advance Peter Deane, Std Cirrus 5T

I have the sleeves and the directive from GROB authorizing the installation on the ASTIR CS, but I only have directions for the DG100 installation. The tubes on the ASTIR CS are different than that of the DG100 and my mechanic needs directions for the ASTIR CS. Does anyone know who has installed...

Does anyone have a source for Wedekind sleeves on an ASW20? Schleicher says no mas.

Hi, I'm coming over to the US for a few days in August, staying near Rochester NYC, I suspect I'm not going to be around at the weekend so was wondering if any of the glider clubs in the area operate on weekdays? I spotted Finger Lakes Soaring as seemingly the closest, but I think they are...

Receiving several calls weekely from Parowan bound/returning Calif. pilots wanting to know if there is towing for private ships landing or trailering into Jean (OL7). Please visit www.soaringcenter.net for prices, etc.

I didn't expect things to work out quite as they did. I was pleasantly surprised, several times. I flew back to Houston from Amarillo on Friday, over summer-like skies. The cus were popping and cloudbase was about 10,000 AGL. That was a beautiful sight. I got home and found out that we were in fact...

Can you assume wings weight is max T/O weight - max non lifting parts ? I am trying to find the wing weight for my ventus C Dan

Hi All, I signed up for Weglide yesterday and then was unable to log in. I tried to recover my password, went through the Captcha, and got a message saying to follow the instructions in the email. What email? I've tried a half dozen times and have not gotten an email. Yes, I checked my spam...

Looks like new interesting project for storing IGC flights. I think prehistoric OLC needs some fresh blood competition. WiFi download of flights straight from LX computers again this summer?

A boatbuilding friend set me on the right lines when he came to repair a glass fibre dinghy. Apparently the resin reinforced glass is porous and only the gellcoat is impervious, so if the gellcoat is cracked or damaged it will absorb moisture. He recommended thorough drying before refinishing. When...

Anyone have a simple wt. & bal calc method for ASK-21? The manual is all in German and makes no sense. Power-plane manuals are simple to use with a graph.

I have a sample size of TWO, so take this or leave it. In BOTH the Speed Astir and Janus C log books, some previous owner had made pen-and-ink' changes to the distance from the main wheel to the tail wheel.. In BOTH cases, the factory figure was correct, and the ink changes incorrect. When...

Our club needs to do a weight and balance on our Grob 103 after refinishing and some other mods. We are wanting to use calibrated/certified scales, but the cost of having it weighed or purchasing a set of scales is quite high.. What have others done to get their W&B completed yet not break the...

Just wondering if anyone has a good estimate on the empty weight of an Eberle clamshell trailer (Labelle). ray

Was wondering if anyone knew the approximate weight of tehnD size steel 02cylinders that are used in Schliecher gliders? Thanks

Does wing loading have any affect on thermalling ability of a glider (pilot's ability is another topic)? I am ignoring here the smaller turn radius, and so greater ability of a lighter wing-loaded glider to work narrow-diameter thermals. In a given thermal with a diameter that can be worked with...
