I'm trying to get Model 20 to communicate with SN-10B. We know we have connection cable right. Logger is on- 2 different 20's tried. We get "No GPS input" and "No message received from GPS" messages. NMEA input is selected. Any help appreciated. Thanks UH

Things that small will not be a problem. Lithium glider batteries are another story. The Handpresso Hybrid is the thing security seems to like most in my carry-on, but while pulling shots of espresso at 39,000' I've probably sold a few to flight attendants. Jim

2001 Cobra trailer is all aluminum construction rigged for ASW-20 but can be set-up for many 15 and 18 meter gliders with appropriate fittings. It has a third rail ramp extension and winglet storage brackets. The tires were replaced a couple of years ago for aging considerations. It is in...

A user of my new IGC logger Excel spreadsheet sent me a pair of IGC files that were clearly duplicates *except* that the first few B records of one file contained clearly bogus GPS locations (displaced a few thousand miles due east!). Naturally, this caused the dupe detection routine (which...

The new Seattle Sectional came out today and I as I understand it (not seen one yet) the Class B area around Sea-Tac is now different. Does anyone know who or how the .sua files are created, and when/if we may see updates. I am guessing that there may be other changes across the country as...

I wanted to extend a big thanks to everyone at Cal City and Caracole soaring for a successful wave day on Saturday. The front that pushed through southern California this weekend provided thermals to 9000' and wave as high as 24,000'. And from the sound of things on the radio, Warner Springs had...

An East-coast pilot wants a partner for an Antares 20E to be based west coast. He wants to fly it occasionally at Minden and maybe Tonopah/Parowan. He will consider sharing his ASW-27 based on the East coast (Pennsylvania Ridge area). Contact me directly if interested and I'll put you two in...

Glifer Pilot with: Empty tow ball (15 November... FIRM) from Jacksonville, FL to Ashburn, VA. Travling I-95N. Willing to divert as far west as Chillhowee, TN (with Mileage/Meals and RON!) and also willing to deliver into PA/OH/NY within reason (with Mileage/Meals and RON!) . Also, empty tow ball...

I have only flown as a passenger once in a sailplane, and thus, will ask the obvious question. Is water blast used in temperatures where it is likely to freeze? If so, what is done to prevent this? Thanks ...john

So, everything was working fine, and the last two flights have not been accepted. In looking at the file that I can download from OLC, it does NOT have the same name as the file I uploaded. Is OLC once again unhappy with Cambridge and kicking out converted Cambridge Model 10/20/25 files? Only...

Let's hear it for the STDs and 15M ships! Last Sat 08/09/2014, they took most of the top six places in the U.S. ranging from 643km to 881km. I was the top flight declaring and completing a 750km triangle in my Discus 2A; followed by Marty Eiler - ASW-27; Peter Deane - LS-8; David Greenhill -...

Rob, Maybe you have the same email after many years.... Also maybe you obtained RS232 protocol from Becker. May you help me with it? BR, Costin miercuri, 18 martie 1998, 10:00:00 UTC+2, Robert Acker a scris: Robert, I have a 4201 and I think you may have been mislead. It does

I've started a blog about my experiences as a student pilot and now as a low-time private. I hope this will be helpful to new soaring student pilots. When I was starting out, I found a wonderful web site for those new to the sport, that really helped me a lot. That site's gone, so I thought I'd...
