I am participating in the rebuild/repair of an early Nimbus 2. The serial number is in the range 40 to 50. It is definitely a Nimbus 2 not Nimbus 2a. The fligth manual that we have does not give details of the flap deflection at the intermediate settings only the full deflections. The data sheets...

Hi Does anyone have any info on what serial port is connected to the USB on an iPAQ 310/312. I am trying to help setup one with XCsoar and feed in Flarm data as well. I have the Flarm data at the correct voltage levels but I can't work out what serial port the iPAQ thinks is...

Hi I am looking for a drawing with dimensions of an Nimbus 3 instrument panel please.

It's a fine ship. Pay attention to the comments about pre-buy inspections, though. Gren Siebels flew one for several years and he was 6'+. The E model is more comfortable yet. Personally, I wouldn't buy a 1-26 (yes, I have owned one). I have also owned a Skylark 4 (which I wish I still had) and ...

I was trying to work out the expected height gain from a pull up Experienced glider pilots say you will get a better pull up with a heavier glider / water etc. But I can't see this from my (probably incomplete) equations: total energy = potential energy + kinetic energy total energy before pull...

I am in the middle of preparing the world membership report for the March IGC meeting. All but three countries have furnished their returns, and repeated emails to the IGC delegates for Poland, Belgium and Austria are ignoring my request for membership figures for their countries. Can anyone help...

Hi Guys Those of you flying in the US may have read that as a result of new legislation there is a change to the specs of radios fitted to gliders and GA in the european area. As a result I have a perfectly serviceable, if oldish, AVComm GL72a 720 channel radio for sale. Check out...

I have a DG300 that has two tubes fiberglassed into the tail along the verticle stabilizer hinge line. These tubes are roughly 1" in diameter. According to the book it is for tailweight. The manual does not seem to explain how to use this feature or how to secure the weights. First impression is a...

I'm purchasing a glider and have started selecting the instruments. I'm looking the Borgelt B50 and the Cambridge 302. I will be using an iPAQ running flight software in conjunction with this instrument. If I select the Borgelt, I'll also need a separate flight logger. I expect to fly...

I am building a european glider kit. I am in need of some additional metric aircraft bolts and nuts, something a grade higher than Home Depot. I have had little luck finding information on what would be the metric equivalent of US AN series hardware. I have been unsuccessful in determining what...

Here is a device that assist with collision avoidance and does not require any cooperation from the other aircraft: http://www.fosterflight.com/ After reading the FAQs, it does not appear it will be readily applicable to gliders since in it's current form, it only is effective in level...

Our club has an EW Model D logger. In the process of getting things ready for flying this year, I got the loggers out, put in fresh batteries, and did a test run in the car. I got a strange altitude plot from the EW model D. It was very "notchy'' with the altitude not changing for several...
