Anyone out there have US Team patches they might be willing to part with? Looking for Australia 2001, Poland 2003 and Germany 2008. Thanks. Karl Striedieck

I'd like to do some clean-up work on the bottom of the of my glider's fuselage. Are there any drawings available for for a fuselage rotation fixture similar to the one shown in the linked video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Co4l35Awbtc Thanks, Dave

I hope someone is out there getting pitted this...

Does anyone have any experience repairing the tailwheel on a Blanik L-23? Ours failed, and it appears that it had been repaired before, so with all the cracks, etc., it doesn't look easily repairable. Photos available he https://www.flickr.com/gp/soar5z/LJnfXW Apparently Vitek ay Blanik...

Hi all, My question is, My husband is in the process of getting a standard AWC for his imported, into the US, Dimona H36 TMG. He applied to have it certificated as a glider (powered), but our FAA inspectors want to put Utility on the AWC because that's what's on the type certificate. Does this...

This drone filming in a mountain area, could have been a threat to some glider. Luckily an eagle decided to force it to land! :-) http://www.popularmechanics.com/flight/drones/a18177/eagles-steal-dhi-phantom-drone/?mag=pop&list=nl_pnl_news&src=nl&date=111315

I am researching shear wave and thermal wave. For example, the WI glider altitude record was set by Ted Clausing in thermal wave. For example, on 4/24/98, bases were 7000 msl, thermal wave took gliders to 16-20,000 msl over lower Michigan, and stacked lenticulars were seen. If you understand how...

I am an old geezer returning to soaring after years of hiatus. I go back to sectional maps, hand held final glide calcs n cameras mounted to the canopy. I purchased a glider with an oudie and a ew microrecorder with a handfull of cables. a few questions: I can work the oudie ok, its great and I...

Anybody out there who would be prepared to make up a `pigtail`lead for me.

I have run several flights through the PowerFlarm range tool, and my coverage seems adequate, but I am wondering if anyone has a method of determining 3D coverage? The tool shows a decent depiction of horizontal coverage, but I wouldn't mind having an idea of the coverage above and (especially)...

Hello, All, Does anyone have experience instructing in Pipistrel Taurus, both for ab initio and transition pilots? How durable or fragile of a ship is it? Any thoughts as to how it would compare with an ASK-21MI or a G-103 SL? Thanks much, Dylan

Hi folks, I am a freshly-minted private pilot who trained in Kansas. I am thinking of a flight to Colorado Springs and am looking for advice on winds, mountain wave turbulence, etc. I'm going to be flying a C-172, but another member of this group suggested that this might be the best place for...

US Pilots, With the onset of cooler weather, I've had time to do a tiny project I've been meaning to work on for a long time. Many of you are aware that my website (http://www.soaringdata.info) can produce current US Temporary Flight Restriction airspace files in formats that work with most glide...

Any idea how much weight the urethane paint option adds to an 18 meter glider?

Wanted to purchase an used airfare type of bailout bottle. I had one for years had a full charge of O2, lanyard pinned and never pulled, unfortunately I sold it years ago. If you have or know where I may purchase one please contact me via the respond private function. Thank you

Does anyone have a G104 Speed Astir elevator for salvage?

I noticed in a recent post by 2NO that his ClearNav 1 had "locked up" a few times. I have had a number of episodes where the display is running perfectly but will not respond to any inputs from the hand-held controller (cannot change scale, wind, ballast, turn point, or any of the other "ribbon"...
