Does anyone have any insight into how a 302 calculates wind? How good is it in regards to wind a straight flight with very little turning? How valuable is it on a ridge? What does it need in order to calculate probable wind one 360 turn, part of a turn, two turns? Any information is appreciated.

I'm really curious what weak link people are using to winch launch Blaniks with. If you are using the CG bridle, do you use the blue tost weak link (in the BGA list) or a stronger one? Blue seems too weak and wants to break frequently and under only moderate climb angles. The L-13 manual...

All, My radio (Dittel FSG 71) Squelch seems to be a bit sensitive (but by design, cannot be adjusted by the pilot). In my case, when flying, the squelch is a bit sensitive and the “white noise” of the radio comes on at times, even when there are no communications received. I can always reset the...

I hope to get both the Sport Pilot and Private Glider certificates. Which order would be best to get them in - would Sport Pilot be better to get first or last? I am especially interested in a motorglider called the Virus (what an unfortunate choice of name!). Does a glider certificate let you...
