At about 800ft I lost a cylinder bolt and the case cracked at about 1:30 on this video. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=972894796062971 Boggs

WinPilot 9.0b Flarm FLARM: Added ability to track several other gliders in the vicinity that also carry FLARM on board. WinPilot can now show wisually the position of the other gliders, their bearing, and also indicate weather or not they are climbing, and if so, what their current climb rate is.

Here is a quote from the DG/LS web site...it is, in my humble opinion, worrisome statement : Economic aspects Everyone knows that the approved certification of new models becomes more and more expensive and the number of production planes will never reach the quantities of the past. The cost for...

Folks, I'm doing an informal survey. How many of you are members of a club that still has a 1-26 in your club fleet?

As mentioned here in an earlier post, glider pilots who would be adversely affected by a ridge-top wind turbine complex on Jacks Mt near Mifflin are cooperating with a group named SOAR (Save Our Allegheny Ridges)in an attempt to thwart this project. A quick way glider pilots can help is to vote...

I was quoted $3,500 to $4,000 by the Mercedes Benz dealer to install a factory tow hitch on to a ML 350 Bluetech 2011! I was wondering if anyone else had this happen and if so, where did you go to have the work done and were you happy with it? I live in Southern Cal.

Does anyone have a link to, or a copy of, an English language paper or explanation about Dr Herbert Pirker's final glide theory? I can't even locate one in German via Google. I can find snippets about it relating to implementation on StrePla in 2006vand I understand that a couple of the NavBoxes...

Details of the Predator UAV crash in Arizona have just been released. Currently two of these pilotless 66-foot wing-span beasts are flying along the Arizona border as part of border patrols and a third will be added next year. Some of us local pilots are underwhelmed. The crash resulted from loss...

I noticed the SZD-55 has a service life of only 3,000 hrs with a possible 1,500 hr extension. Is this typical of other modern ships like the Discus, Ventus, LS, DG series etc??

I am always amazed at how few Schempp-Hirth Glider owners have done this very simple Mod to their water ballast system. The addition of this 1 way valve to the top cap of the ballast tank plug will prevent water from flowing out of the tank prior to launch. You can put a wing down without...

Our DG-1000 at Southern Cross Gliding Club (Camden, NSW, Australia) has experienced multiple occurences of both inadvertent retraction and extension of the undercarriage. Typically the undercarrriage has dropped down whilst in flight, in various modes including straight and level in smooth air. We...

I have a datalogger, I have an IPAQ, and I have all the cabling etc. I have spent considerable time at Cumulus Soaring, reading the comparisons of glider software. What I lack is the experience to know what is important. I've played with the features of SeeYou Mobile, and frankly, most of the...

can you help us with the steps and required paperwork to import a canadian registered glider to the US? Thanks, Steve

An amazing (to me) amount of interest in refreshing faded vinyl trim strips indicates pilots are serious about making their rides look good. But what about the trailer itself? My 14-year-old glass-top Cobra has a few cracks, nicks, etc., that will require work this winter. Matching the existing...

How does the general soaring poplulation manage their oxygen flowmeter and tubing? I have a Standard Jantar and would like to mount the flowmeter in the cockpit somewhere that I can reach (the panel would be too far) and not have to grab and hold it verticle to read/adjust. Any ideas would be...

ASH 25M (25.6M tips) Built 1998 Experimental Airworthiness 680 Hours TT (34 engine hours) SN:25198. A very nice high performance two place that has been well flown (first place in the1999 Auxiliary Power Nationals) and meticulously maintained! New interior fabric and exterior polyurethane paint...

The Delorme InReach Satellite Tracker is now available for pre-order on their website. Unfortunately, they apparently decided that the minimum update interval would be 10 minutes, the same as the SPOT tracker many of us use now. It is also MUCH more expensive for initial purchase, and (I think)...
