Many of you use, or could use, felt for lots of things in your trailers (fitments, pads), your dollies, wing stands (maybe). I know that over the years, felt has been a part of every one of my winter's project list. I used to have an industrial supplier "down the street" and got off-cuts from him...

This is an old thread I dug up - just wondering if there have been any improved products keeping one warm in wave that anyone is aware of? On Saturday, January 5, 2002 at 1:00:46 PM UTC-8, DGRTEK wrote: Other than my low tech thermal underwear or longjohns as I call them, can anyone recommend...

Hey Guys, We just had our sold out Soaring With the Champions seminar and it was a big success! Folks came from all over to listen to Doug Jacobs, Mike Opitz, Karl Stredeick, John Good and John Bird enlighten us on soaring technique. On March 2nd, we will have the second seminar of our winter...

I have been working on getting a Pawnee ready for towing and I need a connector strap and wire fastener for the gascolator. It is the same strap that goes on a Comanche and Pawnee. Let me know if you have one that you can depart with. Bob 772-453-9999

We should have cu in most areas with bases eventually near 15000 ft. Winds from the west 15-20 knots. Much less chance for OD today. Primary assigned task for 263 miles. Launches underway-began at noon local

Was playing with an old variometer the other day, actually was looking into re-balancing the needle so it reads at 0 instead of 200ft up. As a test I put drop of water on the needle, here a youtube video of what happens.. https://youtu.be/3J76lSd68lg Brian

All Hoping for some help here - My Std Cirrus has cam style hotellier fittings and I havent been able to find a wedekind sleeve that works with these rather than the vertical plunger style.. Any clues for finding sleeves for these? Thanks in advance Peter Deane, Std Cirrus 5T

Hi, All the discussion on r.a.s. about small video camera systems was very interesting. Certainly having more people capturing the fun of soaring on video should help promote our wonderful sport. I have therefore decided to sell and support the Replay XD family of video cameras and...

An important but difficult question to answer is "How well did I sleep last night?" It would be nice to have some objective measure of that other than "clock time" because sleep quality varies. I've been experimenting with an Ipod Touch App that uses the accelerometer to log my "tossing and...

40 Rolls of white gap tape for $45 Shipping paid to addresses in the USA. This tape is good for single day use. Put it on, fly, take it off. It is NOT as good as the $8 to $15 a roll tape, but for about $1.10 a roll it is a reasonable alternative.

I made my first tow around 1000 this morning and entered rotor at the departure end. Within a mile of the airport and at 1,800' AGL (8,000' MSL) there was smooth wave lift. I made 13 tows today, 12 rides and one private glider, and all stayed up. Sure wish I'd been soaring instead of...

Hello, Anyone have a good set of points to indoctrinate an SN10B on the ways of a LAK-12? I cannot quite get the numbers I need from the LAK owner's manual, and the polar is not included in the canned bunch that comes with the ILEC. Nimbus II is close, I suppose, but I'd like to get it...

Just spoke with James today, 3/04/2015 12:15 MST. He was in Ely. Normal summer operations are planned with 2 tow planes/ 2 tow pilots for a 7 day/week full summer operation. Normal evening hanger BBQ's, shower's, tie downs available. Other words....nothing's changed. Call the Ely Jet Center...

Any ideas? I have updated the NA .cit file, etc. I have never seen this problem before. Thanks.

To all those who responded re original article I offer my apologies. There were two articles, and to use an Aussie expression they have gone "Walkabout" or just plain "Missing". I will still keep searching, and will let you know if or when I find them. Sincerely, Ron Baker (Australia)
