Hello, Does anyone have any information on applying turbulator tape to the wings of a PIK 20 B? Can any improvement in performance or handling be gained for this airfoil? Thanks! 3Y Formerly 9V

Hello all, Does anyone have any experience using the K6 Mux with a CA 302 and a Flarm Core going into a Dell Streak running XC Soar? Currently have the Flarm Core plugged into the Streak via an IOIO port and works fine, but would really like to get the air data from the 302. Seems like it will...

Does anyone know how to contact Bill Laister?

I just purchased a Nugget and am very happy with it. I am looking to connect with other Nugget owners to exchange info on this ship.

Hi all.... I understand that one model of the MZ 34 single cylinder two stroke engine is designed and used in motor gliders.... And I was wondering what its fuel consumption rates were at various HP outputs as well as what its max continous HP output is...and I am particularly interested in its...

An actual conversation that quite recently took place ten thousand feet over the California desert between Captain Fraidy-Cat (CFC) and a rather happy-go-lucky glider CFI (CFIG): CFC: NO!! PLEASE! I'M SCARED!!! CFIG: What are you scared of? CFC: I DON'T KNOW!!

Is there a tape out there for sealing gaps on metal sailplanes that doesn't turn into a sticky mess after exposure to the sun and heat? Would be nice to have a somewhat permanent solution that only needs to be replaced a few times a year on gliders that sit outside assembled for the season.

More than six month have now passed without any help for the customer to solve the problems. Enough time has passed to give the manufacturer time to support his product in silence. Hopefully public pressure will help the manufacturer to show improved customer care. The grace period of public...

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...
