Can't Google or whoever is hosting this site do something about getting rid of that crazy loon's persistant postings? This is a glider site, not paranoia central!

Not looking to open old wounds. One question. Was the case against Eastern Sailplane ( Tim Donovan 2009 ASG-29 accident) successful? Rick Lake

Friday was a great day to avoid work in the UK: http://uras.gliderpilot.net/?db=uras&op=s2&id=19890&kw= 800Km Triangle record was also broken, and a Nimbus 3D completed a declared goal of Aboyne (Scotland) to Lasham, (Hampshire). Thats why we go gliding!

VSLA? A123? Cycling chargers?? I think this subject should have it's own thread. Unlike transponders, we almost all need them.

I was given an older MH EDS unit to install in my Phoebus glider which I got for a song and am restoring. The glider has a bracket for the oxygen tank, but no tank is installed. The bottom is a rounded fiberglass cup, and there is a flip bracket to go around the neck. It sits behind the seat pan...

I'm looking for ideas on how to make professional looking placards/labels for a instrument panel rebuild I'm doing. I need to make tiny labels for fuses, and switches and I hate, hate, hate the look of the continuous strip label maker "sticker" stuck to the panel. It looks tacky, but they never...

Please post your suggestions. I need something warm but not too bulky. Andrzej

I have started tinkering around with the idea of developing a Tow-tracking for clubs to use that would not interfere with operations yet still be able to provide an upgrade to having a dedicated logger try and confirm release altitudes. My current thought is to have a cell phone app that talks to...

Why is there no IOS app for skylines?

Now that my PowerFlarm PCAS performs as well or better than my Zaon (thanks to the latest firmware and the shorter antenna) Just last weekend I flew another side by side comparison between the ZAON MRX and my Power FLARM portable. For about half of the flight the Power FLARM indicated a...

I am installing a new vane style antenna for my transponder. My original antenna was located where the cg hook used to be on my discus. This location often tangled with the trailer ramp when loading the glider. Next I tried a whip style on top of my instrument panel cover. All of the self...

When we made my fuselage, it was winter and we were heating the shop with a propane heater. Propane releases moisture during combustion. So........molds are waxed multiple times, gelcoat (shurfab polyester product) is sprayed into the mold, we leave the heater on and go home for the...

The performance claims look extremely good ... is this plausible ? http://www.dg-flugzeugbau.de/mandl-absaugung-e.html KK

Ever since my first contests and XC flights I have been wearing an external male catheter. Putting these things on is easy. Taking them off is another matter altogether. I know they have to be sticky or they might fall off at an inopertune time but jeez-la-wheez they sure can stay stuck and are...

The OLC organizers have to assume that the participants in the contest will not violate restricted airspace during their flights. ATC clearances are necessary to enter certain airspace. The OLC team will not check if a pilot has obtained the necessary clearance to enter airspace which needs...

The latest SSA Newsletter says: "OLC entrants in the USA will hopefully at least double in size again this year - with more and more pilots going out away from the home airport. OLC has grown significantly over the past three years, with participation coming from many different groups. We are...

What is the conventional wisdom on fiberglass top trailers? I've never had any experience with one. Should I keep it this way and stay away from it by all means? Or is it OK, really, and not much worse than Al top? How long do they last and how much maintenance require? What are the pros and cons...

Do I correctly understand the AD below to mean that any Pegasus in the US with 3000 hours cannot be flown after January 6, 2006? Certainly would have an effect of the market value of this glider, even one with significantly less than 3000 hours. I notice that someone put one on the market today...

As we all know soaring has it's challenges and risks. So does building & flying your own plane. Check out this link and read the second paragraph for details on the danger facing us. www.rv-8project.com/good_bye_to_soaring.htm My question is if soaring is so dangerous why when you go to the...
