After removing the main wheel of my LS7 to service the brake pads/drum and then replacing the wheel, bushing and right-side spacer, I noticed that the tire is not exactly centered between the two landing gear forks, but is shifted about 1/4 inch to the right side, away from the side with the brake...

I would like to wire the sensor switches that I already have in place for my landing gear and spoilers to my LXNav S80 vario. The S80 user's manual offers little information on how to accomplish this. Hopefully, others before me have got this working, and can offer some advice. I understand that...

I am thinking of installing the disc brake retrofit that is available from Wings & Wheels on my LS7, and am looking to know what I might be getting myself in for (level of difficulty, satisfaction with the results, etc.) Has anyone installed the retrofit on an LS7, or another LS glider that has...

I just received the kit for my LS7. I'm interested to hear reports from others who have already installed it. Was the installation straightforward, or did you encounter any unexpected difficulties?

I'm looking into whether this kit can additionally be installed in my LS7. I would appreciate any feedback others may have on installing this kit,...

Hi can someone let me know how much a Schempp Hirth Ventus 3 retails for? I had a look at their website but I've cant seen to find a price. Thanks.

I want to ask you folks a question: why isn't there a glider where the pilot flies face-down? The Wrights did it, the Horten (?) wing, and hang gliders are about the only thing you can fly facing the earth. I don't see why a sailplane couldn't be flown that way, but no designers appear to even...

Some weeks ago I asked about a way to create maps to display airpsace zone on a gpsmap76s. I have to say that I got very valuable input, and would like to thanks especially Rory O'Connor and Scott Byrd (from sci.geo.satellite-nav). Here is how I proceeded: I used the files located at...

Hi, I'am not quite sure this is the right forum to post my question, let me try (I also found some specific gps forums) I just bought a garmin gpsmap 76s mainly for use in a glider (hence the post in the current forum) I wonder if someone has some experience with such device for two...

While browsing Google's new satellite maps, I see one of the shots captured a tow plane taking a glider up towards Lake Pleasant, AZ (Turf Soaring area). See: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=33.845615,-112.287612&spn=0.007435,0.007596&t=k&hl=en

A little fun. I have been describing soaring to power pilots as the Haiku of aviation, seemingly simple, but actually perhaps the most multi-faceted. Got me thinking, why not give it a try? Anyone else care to try? haiku |ˈhīˌko�; ˌhīˈko�| noun ( pl. same or -kus ) a Japanese poem of...
