We need an ASW-19 rebirth for $25,000 by
[email protected]
What we need in soaring is a new glider built for a reasonable price. $150,000 for a new glider is just not even a consideration for most people. Let's face it, you can get a low mileage Ferrari for half that price!
The PW-5 was a terrible failure. The engineers made the wingspan too short,...

An aerodynamic experience by
Bret Hess
Of course all of our flights are aerodynamic experiences, but we can usually make some sense of what we experience. Here's one that was a mystery from the beginning, and I’m still surprised by when I think about it.
A couple of years ago, I was flying in the front seat of a Grob 103 (nose tow...

Cambridge audio wanted by

I need a replacement for the audio to go with my '70's vintage Cambridge vario. I have an audio, but as yet can't get it to work.
If anyone has a (preferably working) Cambridge audio unit (AU-20, AU-22, or maybe even AU-10) that is gathering dust and that they'd be willing to part with, please...

Thanks,

finding canopy leaks by
Matt Herron Jr.
After a recent canopy replacement (keep it latched on the ground if you don't have your hand on it!) I was dismayed to find that there were significant leaks while flying that caused both wind noise and a lot of unwanted cold air in the cockpit, due to the frame being a bit "sprung" after the...

Air scoop popping open at high speed by
Matt Herron Jr.
This weekend I did a high speed run to test some new seals I had installed on the rudder for vibration. VNE is 147 Kts in the Ventus, and so I only took it up to 130 kts IAS (yes I was only at 2000 ft MSL, so altitude was not a factor). At that speed the air scoop on the sliding canopy window...
