SLA batteries opinions? by
john firth
Recently I tested two 12v SLA s which had been in use
sequentially for some years usually recharged before going
going flat, or at least within one day.
Both were run down to 10.5 v with a 10 ohm load and then recharged to 14v,
The Yuasa 7 AH bought 2005 was good for about 2.5 AH
the UB...

Schweizer 1-35 and other flapped sailplanes by
Jack
I've seen several remarks lately in Soaring Magazine and on my home
club's internet forum about the characteristics of this particular
sailplane. Though not directly bashing this ship, comments made seem to
imply that it's a difficult or dangerous sailplane to fly. I think
that's wrong. Some of...

Diana-2 - master-piece or flop? by
BlueCumulus[_2_]
I have read very good critics about Diana-2
but as well very bad news about it.
The good news are from the people who seem to have flown the first two
Prototypes. The bad rumors I heard about number-3 of Diana-2.
Obviously the main difference is, that the wing position was shifted some
centimeters...

Victor Bravo
Up for auction on ebay now is an HP-18 project. It has flown 1500 hours
but needs a complete rebuild. It NEEDS either wing contouring or use it
as a "quickbuild" kit for a Super-18 with the fuselage, tail, wing
spars and controls already built. Comes with a very good Gehrlein open

Magnus Effect by
COLIN LAMB
If a wing is replaced by a rotating cylinder, with the forward surface
rotating upward, lift will be produced. The local air velocity is high on
top and low on the bottom. This upward force is known as magnus effect.
The information above comes from my helicopter handbook. The theory is used
to...

It has not been used in quite a while, so I ordered a new 3.V = 2000mAh battery. A voltmeter shows that is has juice, and seems to be charging, but the device will...

Video of off-field landing from cockpit by
Bruno[_2_]
Hey everyone. We had a fun weekend up in Utah with many gliders up in
the air enjoying the amazing fall colors and mountain scenery. At the
end of Friday's flight I decided to extend the flight and go play out
in the weak wave lift in the valley northeast of the Logan airport. It
was fun until it...

Anti-collision system for gliders by
Karl Osen
Hello,
Is anyone aware of anti-collision systems (projects or products) for gliders
based on GPS and short range radio? Such systems broadcast position at
random times, allowing equipped vehicles (e.g. gliders) to be informed when
they have a dangerous trajectory relative to other equipped...

SeeYou Mobile with SN10B data by
kirk.stant
Does anyone have any experience driving SeeYouMobile from an SN10B,
using both the GPS data and the vario/wind/air data that the SN10 can
now transmit to a PDA?
Wondering if it is worth the trouble to have a new SN10 wiring harness
made to work with my PDA.
TIA,

Hi Jonathan-
I assume that by the "ASA" you mean the Arizona Soaring Association and our
basically unamimous voice against the "15 minute rule" and the one mile
cylinder. First of all I don't understand the point that you are making
since in your opening statement you say that "the contest was...
