Does anyone use a EW model B data recorder(upgraded to accept GPS nema) connected to a Garmin 196 for flight verication? I have a problem with the combo. I was using a Garmin 90 connected to a SN10 and the EW without problems. The interface for the 90 was set to Nema/Nema 2.0. I replaced the 90...

The final results are in for Round 1 of the US SSA-OLC League, and we had 25 clubs score; so the round was not devalued, and the top club got the maxumum 50 points. Each of the other 24 clubs got one point less than the next higher score, so the minimum score this round was 26 points. So it paid to...

I had a look at it when I started gliding a few months ago but didn't think all the fancy books would help me at that stage. A few months have gone by and I tried to find his website again to buy the Thermals book and a few other interesting ones, including one that I believe was called 'Taming...

Hi, Anybody can recommend a person who knows Solo engines or at least who is experienced with 2 stroke engines ? Preferably in Southern California or close by. I need help to diagnose a problem with my Solo 2350 engine. Thanks, Limus

OK, here goes: After reading all those recent posts about removing self-adhesive external male catheters, I'm going to put my already dubious reputation at risk and share my "invention." I have a Powered-Pee-Pump in my glider. Now don't laugh so hard - everyone does, till they get a closer look at...

Is there a quick and easy rule for the ratio of fin to wing tank ballast. The DG-300 manual shows that it is roughly 1qt. fin per 6gal. of wing tank.. I assume this will vary between models.

Does anyone have a pinout list/diagram for assembling a serial cable for an HP H2200?

Ok, We have discussed how to remove the male condoms used by a number of pilots as part of their relief systems. Now, how does everybody remove the remaing adhesive? Paint thinner, acetone, only kidding. But, how do you get that struff off. Soap and water does not seem to do the trick. What is...

I live in central Europe - where the weather is neither too hot nor too cold. Seems to me that in the not too distant past many people fitted little solar powered extractor fans to their trailers to improve ventilation. Looking round our club trailer park the other day I noted that only one out...

Anyone got and ASW20B pilot handling notes? Thanks mal

I am updating from my old Ipaq 3760 to a 3950. I am not sure which pin to put the +5V in on. The old 3760 used pin 9 (DCD RS232/USB +5V). The diagram for the 3950 has DCD RS232 as pin 6 and USB-UDC + as pin 19. Can someone tell me the correct pin to use? Thanks, Tim

If anyone has regular contact with Dan at Ely please ask him to give me a call, shoot me an e-mail, or send up a smoke signal. A seance contact will do. He won the lottery but must contact me to get his jackpot. -ted/2NO 480-296-9022 t u n o at p o b o x dot c o m

Sorry, I meant to change the subject line. So, what was the longest (in time) glider flight, and is there any official body that recognizes such records. -- FF
