Greetings, While doing some minor maintenance, the canopy of the PW-5 that I was working on auto jettisoned it's canopy on the ground. Others around said this was a somewhat known issue and this had happened before after a firm landing. I noticed there are 3 contact points between the support...

Hi all. I have started building a larger plane but due to health issues at age 71 I though maybe I should rachet it down some. I have only flown c 172's and a Piper Warrior. So I bought the plans for the Sands and am wondering if I should make the tube fuselage or the wood one. My skills are wood...

Hi All Recently when I download a IGC from the OLC to review the flight and play it back in See you the flight stops about 3/4 of the way through. Any ideas out on how to fix this problem and get the whole flight to play? Nick Kennedy

Dear Dr Panigrahi, Kindly **** off and die. Slowly and painfully, or quick and dirty, we really don't care. Just do it. We have enough on you to put you into an asylum for the rest of your days.

While checking NOTAMS I have come across LTA ( Letter to Airmen) entries. What is an LTA? This is something I have not noticed before.

Ionia?? Really? With six flights totaling 1,821 OLC points since October 2016, I doubt I will be putting it on my bucket list.

Hello Folks... Here is a distraction from FAA Letters... I am now taking offers on my Discus2b. Got a new ship coming and she needs a home.
