How was Bicester's fly in? Has anyone any pictures or anything? I'm sure there were great stories shared and a lot of memories retold. Anyone?

I need ground plane information such as size, thickness, installation tips, do's...

OK all you radio gurus.....voice your opinions You gave me good dope on the ground plane....now I stand and look down on my instrument panel and I can only think of those Electronic Warfare jets with the big suacer on top .... Stuffed into a cubic foot of space is.... Radio Tranponder w/Encoder...

Is the definition of Standard and 15-meter classes in the U.S.A. different from the FAI definition as it pertains to motor gliders? As I understand the current U.S. National FAI Class Rules, motor gliders are not allowed in the Standard and 15-meter Nationals unless an engine is disabled. I did...

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,...

You will only improve if you are honest with yourself and admit your weaknesses. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. A tow rope looses 50% of its strength with a knot it in. For those who have tasted flight, their eyes will be forever turned skyward.. And for those who have tasted...

Let's go back in time to August 4th 2010. The sport of soaring lost a well respected man named Chris O'Callaghan. It was the 4th fatal sailplane accident in 4 weeks. This was a wake up call to many pilots operating without Flarm or Parachutes. Chris was flying on the return leg of a task when...

Has anyone had much experience with a DG808S Competition? It is unusual to see one even entered in a contest.

Hi, I'm worried that after sending my money to Kerry-Covers, I have asked for a conformation of the order and heard nothing, so they have my money and after 3-4 weeks no covers, has anyone else had this problem? Other members at my gliding club(UK) have recieved their covers promptly, but after...

One of the varios just failed in my older glider. The Winter 5m/s is kaput. There's also a 1m/s unit that appears to be working. Both are from 1963. A friend gave me a PZL 10kt unit that appears to be working. He can't remember what it came out of. Anyone have specs on these older units? I would...

I need to reattach one. What adhesive would work? I think I put this one on with rubber cement and got 10 plus years service but was wondering if there is a better solution for getting the flat surface of the rubber bumper to adhere to the curved wing surface.

Can anyone please pass on some tips. I would like to take my ship to this area next week? Thanks. William

I'm looking for sources for rear view mirrors suitable for mounting on both the left and right exterior sides of a Piper Pawnee. Thanks for your help. Bill

Are you using an IMI wing wheel on your Discuss? If so I'd like to hear about your experience, how you have it configured and where you have it located on the wing. Thanks. Bill Kautter
