Looking for Early Libelle Aileron by Steve Leonard[_2_]
Wondering if anyone has an early (constant chord) aileron for a 301 Libelle. I have a repair project that has a broken aileron, but it might be easier to get a replacement. So, if you have one laying around... Thanks, Steve Leonard Wichita, KS USA

Gone West... Bill Seed by Steve Leonard[_2_]
The soaring community lost a colorful character on June 3, 2017, when Bill Seed passed away at his beloved Sunflower Aerodrome and Gliderport near Hutchinson, Kansas. He was 73 years old. Bill was known to many in the soaring community for various things, but he was known most to me for three...

Short cuts by Steve Leonard[_2_]

A little plug for Uvalde by Steve Leonard[_2_]
They came to Uvalde during the recent contest. Good people showing good stuff in Texas. Every state should have a team doing segments like these! http://yolotx.com/glider-aviation-museum/ Steve Leonard

Soaring in South Texas by Steve Leonard[_2_]

L-Nav v 5.8 EPROM by Steve Leonard[_2_]
So, anyone have a source for those unicorns? I have several 5.7, but like the display options for 5.8 a LOT more. I recall asking dealers some years ago, and was told that I had bought all available from the dealers I spoke with. Wondering if there might be a way to get older ones re-programmed...

New Record? by Steve Leonard[_2_]
Was just looking at OLC, and there has been at least one, 1,000KM + flight each day since December 3. Haven't looked back, but I suspect this is likely close to the longest string of days where this has happened. And if not for December 2nd, the string would go back to November 24th. Good...

Cherokee Kid Flight by Steve Leonard[_2_]
Tony will post all the details later, but he and his Cherokee flew from Sunflower Gliderport to Falls City, Nebraska. Should be good for his Gold Distance! He is going to have a late night retreive, as his crew should just be arriving now (9:00 CDST). Look for details tomorrow on OLC! Way to...

Getting new members by Steve Leonard[_2_]
One of our members is a high school teacher. He worked things out with the school to take a field trip to our gliderport for introductory rides. And, as luck would have it, the day they came out to fly was a spectacular soaring day! How often does that happen? And they even got the story to one...

Dittel VHF repair by Steve Leonard[_2_]
Basic question, but have you made SURE it is not a dead microphone? I have seen dynamic mic elements die, radio gets sent off and comes back "nothing wrong here". Just want to make sure you have looked at all possibilities before you send it off. Steve Leonard (been there, done that)

A Different Chute Question by Steve Leonard[_2_]
So, I am well aware of the drag chutes supplied by Walter Kostelezky, K.G. of Germany. I am aware of the rings and swivels at the connection to the aircraft, and that the aircraft end is a release somewhat resembling a Tost style release. But, I have a plane that has a different sort of interface...
