I just updated my PowerFlarm to v6.80 and after the update I'm now getting a solid "red" LED rather than the usual "Green". PowerFlarm feeds Butterfly display and LXNav S80/Oudie 2. All show reception of GPS signal from Flarm and Flarm targets are displayed on all. I've looked at the .TXT file...

I have read, and re-read, the POH for the ASG-32Mi and am uncertain of the recommended and max IAS for the various flap settings. On p. 118 there is a diagram of what I suppose are the recommended, effective flap IAS ranges. On the ASI are marked the max IAS for flapa 5,6 and for flaps L. These...

I've been following the survival kit discussions with interest. One part of my flying kit nowadays is to always have a flyfishing guide hoodie as my top layer (unless it's cold enough for a down jacket or similar). These hoodies are lightweight synthetics (designed for sun protection in the...

I am repairing a small gelcoat scratch and looking for recommendations on a small gelcoat sprayer . Wondering if liquid gelcoat is to viscous for an airbrush to work?

Just noticed that European flight manuals share the same format. No, they aren't called a POH. For example, DG1000S, Duo Discus and ASH26E manuals all have airspeed indicator markings in section 2.3. Handy. Jim

Often, but not always, I cannot get to the second or third page, when viewing North America daily scores to come up on OLC. I takes me to their page that lists the top three world scores. Anybody else have this issue, and is there a fix? Boggs

Hi all, I am rebuilding my ballast valve at the moment. I have it apart (unfortunately in more bits than I planned but that is another story) and would like to replace the rubber seal / seat that the ball-on-a-stick sits on. Does anyone know what seal it is and/or where to get one? I assume...

Joe Bostic had the opportunity and pleasure yesterday to fly toward Durango and over Silverton and Telluride on a flight from Moriarty, getting to see the color and grandeur of the San Juan mountains many of us in SW Colorado used to view almost daily when flying from the now closed down Val Air...

Has anyone done one of these and found anything to be particularly difficult? Any areas to pay special attention to? Any help would be appreciated. "We can all learn from experience. But we may run out of gliders before we have all learned."

Today on BBC and on YouTube there is a film clip showing high winds carrying water from falls up and over an abrupt cliff face. The clip is “reverse waterfall� and is outside of Sidney at the Royal National Park. With the water blowing aloft and lifted by the wind you can easily visualize the...

Charlie Spratt would mention "elephant walks" in his race reports and I have had the fun of participating in such an event during the "Ordeal at Cordele". But now, the Sept 2020 issue of "Air & Space" provides some background on the term. Quoting the article: "Elephant walk" is a term that traces...

Was chatting with an FAA engineer about an unrelated matter and the subject of JAR specs for sailplanes came up. I mentioned almost in passing that it sure seemed like if any new ground was plowed on batteries it would be OSTIV and EASA that paved it. He replied that if a manufacturer actually...

Back with another question. I would like to know if the assembly hatch cover of the DG 100 is the same as the DG 200.
