Hi all, Has anyone found the data logging feature on this small BlueTooth GPS receiver useful as a stand alone logger? The file would have to be converted to IGC from what ever file the BT GPS uses. And can that converted file be validated for OLC USA national submissions? This is interesting to...

Hi all, On the second leg of my airline trip the TSA decided there was something inside my parachute that needed further physical inspection. They called me back to the inspection area and asked me to "unpack" my chute. I explained that it was a reserve and I was not qualified to repack, and then...

I've been seeing some of the small Zaon traffic avoidance units (http://www.zaon.aero) and they look pretty slick. The larger module even will hook into many GPS displays. Knowing that such a product will only come down in price and in size, can one of the larger, XRX, units be plugged into any...

Hi, After the success of my RASP iPhone/iPad application, I decided to write a new one that is hopefully as useful. This time the app will make it very easy to check out the results of the ongoing competitions on Soaring Spot (www.soaringspot.com). The name of the app is not Soaring Spot but...

Anyone knows where I can get the famous Schleicher stickers, in this case, for a ASW-19, that you find on the fuselage under the canopy? Thanks

There is an article in this month of "Business & Commercial Aviation" regarding lightning. It says that in 1999, a ASK21 desintegrated large sections of the fuselage, while flying in clear air, about 800 yards from a cloud. Both pilots were ejected from the strike, but fortunately were...

OK, talk to me like I am a 4 year old: From A to Z, what do I need to buy to be able to send my flight to OLC? And how much am I looking at? Thanks Richard Phoenix, AZ

Does anyone know an avionic shop or any technician able to replace a radio in a ASW19 in the Phoenix, AZ area? I first thought I had a battery problem, the reception is really weak and pretty much unreadable. Time for a new radio I suppose! Thanks! Richard
