Recognizing and reacting to tow plane engine failure by
son_of_flubber
It would be useful to hear your stories of how incidents of tow plane engine failure turned out for you. It seems that there is very little time to recognize, react, and recover. What are classic mistakes to make in this scenario?
Would it be useful to practice 'release and land to the side of...

Janus 2-seat glider as a club glider? by
K_Miller
I am interested in learning if other soaring clubs have a Janus 2-seat glider in their fleet, which model they have, its suitability as a club ship and whether they would recommend one to a club that was looking for a 2-seat cross country trainer.
If you have other personal experience in the Janus,...

hard wax application by
Tuno
I've never used hard wax before, but since the factory recommends it
on the gelcoat, I'm going to give it a try. I just have no clue how to
go about it. (My Google search results are great -- for hair removal!)
I have a Makita 0-3000rpm variable speed polisher, a brick of hard
wax, and a mandrel...

FS - Mountain High EDS O2-D1 by
[email protected]
I bought a Mountain High O2-D1 flowmeter last year as a replacement for a personal one that had gone missing. I used it one time, then found my old one. It has all the parts that come with this unit (cannula, mask, bag, etc..) BUT NO TANK REGULATOR and is ready to go. Since I bought it Mountain...

Anti-collision system for gliders by
Karl Osen
Hello,
Is anyone aware of anti-collision systems (projects or products) for gliders
based on GPS and short range radio? Such systems broadcast position at
random times, allowing equipped vehicles (e.g. gliders) to be informed when
they have a dangerous trajectory relative to other equipped...

LXNav V7 vs Butterfly vario? by
Chris Davison[_2_]
Anyone got any in flight experience of the LX Nav V7 or the
Butterfly vario? I love the features of the Butterfly but looking at
YouTube clips it seems to be way too sensitive??
Any alternatives?
Thanks

SeeYou Mobile with SN10B data by
kirk.stant
Does anyone have any experience driving SeeYouMobile from an SN10B,
using both the GPS data and the vario/wind/air data that the SN10 can
now transmit to a PDA?
Wondering if it is worth the trouble to have a new SN10 wiring harness
made to work with my PDA.
TIA,
Kirk

WTB Ilec SC7 MacCready disk by
SoaringXCellence
I have an Ilec SB7 (same size as the SC7 but older) installed in a club glider. I'd like to get a blank MacCready disk to use on it (I'll build the numbers for the glider to mark on the disk).
If you don't have a blank disk, how about something like a standard Libell disk that you have laying...

Motorglider Tug by

Who is using a motorglider as a tug? Please send details!
Your location. Country. Field surface, length, elevation,
temperatures.
What type of tug?
What gliders towed?
Good, bad, and ugly of using the motorglider.

Q about mic wiring by
ken ward
I see that for my Peiker dynamic mic, the red wire typically connects to
the MIC pin of the radio, and the yellow wire (with or without the
braided shield) typically connects to the MIC GND of the radio.
In a typical installation, do people actually run a coax type wire with
a shielded braid (or...

Solid State Artificial Horizon by

Dear Sir,
I read carefully the various posts on this newsgroup about the subject
(egyro-solid state gyro etc...).
In order to avoid heavy cabling, and minimising the available space (on
the instrument panel) and volume (behind the instrument panel), I am
slowly coming to 2 options:
Option 1 :...

Small Altimeter Options for Gliders by

I am going to build a new panel for my glider this winter and would
like to go with all small instruments.
The Altimeter is the only one that I am having trouble deciding on, I
thought I was going to need a "certified" altimeter but recently spoke

Grow soaring thru entertainment by
John
Added a similar comment when I filled in the SSA soaring survey.
Want to grow soaring? Market soaring as low-cost entertainment to
generate mass appeal. Develop a commercial gliding site that focuses
on giving rides only, quickly and cheaply.
Look at all the teenagers spending $5-$15 to ride...

DG-300 instrument panel by
[email protected]
I'm thinking of starting anew with the instrument panel in the 300.
The Terra 720 radio is out, and the L-NAV works, but it came with an
old Garmin 95 GPS, which looks more like a typewriter, and no logger.
I'm looking to do a Cambridge 302, with a good radio, and remove the
compass from atop the...
