Anyone know of a source for new l'hotellier fittings? I received an email from the son of an home builder in the Ukraine asking about a source for these fittings. He found my name from my web site where I described adding wederkind sleeves to l'hotellier fittings on a DG glider. One possible...

I have a single seat cobra to move from Ogden to Ionia MI anytime in the next couple months. I'll pay $400 for the entire trip or less for part way. Seller can get the trailer to Cheyenne if that helps. I can meet you anywhere on this end.

I would like to see the XC Soar guys jump on this and port their XC Soar program to the iPaq 310. I have been mulling over the GPS/NAV solutions for the HP-24 and this looks very promising. I think perhaps the Tasman with the data module, in conjunction with the 310/XC Soar would be a good choice...

I will be out in Minden, NV this weekend to pick up a glider. I want to get new tires installed on the Cobra trailer before my drive home. Would somebody please recommend where in the local area I can go to get new tires? Randy Tulsa, OK rgteel at mac dot com

We have run various tests with high temperatures rechargeable batteries and PowerFLARM. I will spare you from the details, but the conclusions a 1) Recharging must take place in an area where the ambient temperature does not surpass 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35C) as otherwise the PF charging...

Great to see some new solid marketing efforts for the sport of soaring and sailplane racing popping up, albeit in Europe. http://youtu.be/dwMFXd2wNx0

I have an old Oudie (first gen), and was wondering if anyone has opened up theirs to replace the battery? The battery life on mine is going south at a rapid pace, and I think I may be due for a new battery. Pete

Looks like they recapitalized and set up a new entity to buy up all the assets from the old business. Good news, would have been a pity to see such an innovative and well made glider disappear: http://www.lange-flugzeugbau.de/htm/english/news/news_01_11_2007.html It suggests that all the key...

Hi , for your info, there is a Schempp-Hirth Standard Cirrus 15mtr span standard class glider for sale in north florida, Gainesville area, right off I-75 just about 70 miles south of the georgia border.

I flew gliders (1-26 and LS-4a) between 1976 and 1996. I have a virtually complete set of Soaring magazine from that period. All issues in good shape. Probably no more than three or four missing. They are free if you will pay the UPS shipping from Zip Code 18947 Thanks, Bill

Can you point me to a source of "wedekind sleeves" (I hope I spelled it properly) which will install over the l'Hotellier conectors? Also, I am in a need of the graphic symbols for cockpit use, I mean the landing gear down and up icon, the speed brakes, etc. I would like to find them in some sort...

Does anyone have any experience when importing a glider into USA from Canada? This particular glider was already registered under N number in the past and later found its way to Canada. Any input will be highly appreciated.

So far I've had little luck finding any replacement parts for my abused Pik project here in the USA. It looks like I'll need rudder pedals, stick, trim, flap mechanism, and all of the linkages for the cockpit. Does anybody else in the world have any Pik salvage with usable parts? Gary...
