Is there a US domestic repair shop that can repair Winter and PZL flight instruments? TIA

New to soaring and I am a bit overwhelmed by all the different tracking options out there. ADS-B, Spot, etc. Which ones are recreational and which (if any) live tracking devices are used for OLC contests etc? Are people using loggers and then uploading the info for the contests or are they using...

Can anyone tell me what's involved when purchasing a Canadian registered glider, then trying to register it here in the US, getting an airworthiness certificate and all? Need to know the processses and approximate cost, if possible. Thanks! Bob --

Hi, Does anyon have a polar file for a ASK-23 for use with Winpilot ?

For anyone interested in soaring contests, the web site for the Women's World Championships taking place in Germany has a very good display of the participants flight logs. No need to download .igc files anymore, as they can be viewed directly...

Has anyone out there been able to download a trace directly from an EW logger to a PDA? Just curious... Bob

Does anyone have any first hand experience of the microTracker/micoRecorder products from EW? http://www.ewuk.co.uk/ Thanks, Bob

Does anyone have any experience or comments on replacing the vinyl trim that runs the length on both sides of the trailer. (Mine has faded over the years but otherwise good.) What's involved and how difficult? Thanks, Bob

Did I read, or did I imagine it, that here in the US when a glider is being towed, the tow pilot is the Pilot In Command of that combination and as such, is the final authority of that flight? Are there any FARs to support my curiosity? Thanks, Bob

Hi, I have just received my 302A back from a barograph calibration and now the flight logs that I download returns an error message 'Security Fail'. It still gives me an igc file that I can up load to OLC but the flight remains greyed out with a message that the 'log file not valid' . I have...

Just noticed the Region 6 North contest going on at the moment and wondered how they work the handicaps for a combined 15M $ STD Class contest. It appears as though all the 15M are handicaped at 1.0 and the Std at something else. How is it done officially? Bob

We are considering holding a 2 week soaring camp for young new glider pilots in July or August of next year called IYSC. This in the new stages of planning so it may or may not succeed. At this point I need to find some interested 14-24 year old new soaring pilots. If we get enough interest we will...

I am trying to get a handle on the number of active soaring pilots in the US for some statistical studies. In 2003 John Roake from New Zeeland stated in a table he developed that the number was 29390. He also stated that the FAA and SSA numbers were not representative. I am looking for ideas on how...

Check out the website for the German 2009 Club Class Championships! Sorry it is in German but a translator will let you see the important info. The impressive 504KM task at 95kmh in a Libelle. http://www.lsv-schwarzwald.de/pages/dmwinzeln2009.php/ Bob

My partner and I decided to sell our Russia motorglider since neither of us seems to have time to use it enough to justify it. The link at the bottom of this post has all of the pertinant information. The little ship is very nice, easy to handle on the ground, a joy to fly in the air and almost...
