Hi, A customer is considering the installation of a PowerFLARM Core or LXNAV PowerMouse with LXNAV TrafficView57 into his soaring club's Piper Supercub towplane. Since it is not an experimental aircraft, the club is uncertain what paperwork is required to satisfy the FAA. FLARM sells Minor...

Does anyone have a wing root mod for the Duo? That sharp 90 degree junction on the underside of the wing is right out of the 1970s. Contacted the usual suspects: Streifeneder. US S-H rep. Lindner. ....With no luck. Where's Rick Wagner when you need him? Thanks! Jim

Have the choice of an LX5000 IGC and a Cambridge 302/303 to put in a club class glider for recreational XC and wave flying. Any views on which is the better set up? (and why!) Main navigation will be done from a PDA, attached to the chosen device.

I've searched this forum and google, but can't find the information - can anyone tell me what readings I should expect to see at altitude? Presumably, a steady decrease from the ground level reading, despite using supplemental oxygen? But without a table of what's normal for each altitude, how...

Depends which version you have. I had one of the first prototypes in mine. Was a hydraulic pump, no electrics needed, and also no accumulator The second version has one.

I have a never-deployed Strong seat chute for sale. Been awhile since it was repacked but it's in excellent condition, and has been stored in a cool, dry environment. Comes with carry case. $1000.00 Pics available, and please message me with any questions.

Ok, looking for the wisdom of the crowd (or even just the individual) here. I want to get an oxygen setup for my glider. It's an old-school touring motor glider (SZD-45 Ogar) but I like to soar it anyway, and I live in SW Colorado so I am regularly bumping my head on the 12,500ft and 14,000ft...

I´m connecting my Oudie with BT to the S100. The problem is when i´m selecting a task or �goto waypoint� on the Oudie. The S100 then Shows �waypoint recieved� but when i confirm, it takes only about a second before the message shows up on the S1100 again and so it continues on and...

Does anyone know if it is safe, assuming you are properly trained in aerobatics, to perform loops, rolls and inverted flying in a 1-26E? Glider is rated at +5.3 -3.3 Gs

Looks like my SN-10 needs to go see the doctor in Germany..........anybody got a good working SN-10 for sale? JJ. johnsinclair210(at)yahoo.com

Hi Everyone, Sorry for a pretty boring question, but I am going to install an under trailer drawer and I see that there are two products available: IMI and Cobra. I was curious if there is any experience which one is better/worse, both equal? ect. Thanks for your help, Keith

I can't find the active link to Pez. Did he land out? Anybody got a valid link? TIA

Is it legal for non-CFIs to instruct others to fly?

I'd like to put a TE probe in an unused tail fin pitot socket, but the 30 year old hose leaks. There doesn't appear to be access from the top, with the horizontal stabilizer removed. Does anybody know if the lines can be accessed with the rudder removed? Plan B is to mount it in the turtle deck,...

Hi all, I'm considering buying a new vario, but am stuck deciding between the new generation of LXNAV/Airglide varios with entirely electronic displays, or a Cambridge/Borgelt type with a mechanical needle. On one hand, with a pure display vario, there are so many more features available. AHRS,...

What are people using nowadays for task planning and flight review? I've had SeeYou since the beginning, but I'm finding the latest versions to be so bloated with extra features that it's becoming much less user friendly. Task and waypoint management in particular is becoming a PITA. My...

Hi all I am now the owner of a lovely 1973 Grob built Standard Cirrus - a thing of beauty. What intrigues me is that the the glider has no water ballast in the wings and looks as if it came straight from the factory like this. No connector in the wing root and nothing in the cockpit to indicate...

Hi, I have more Era57 varios in stock than I need - so some of the older units are for sale at a discounted price. They were originally calibrated at LX Navigation on March 29, 2017. I calibrated them here on July 10, 2019 - so their logger altimeter calibration is good until July 10, 2024. They...
