I am planning on building my own wing wheel to tow out to the runway. I have an old mountain bike with a front wheel I can use(rather small). Other than that, I would need all the parts to make it. Anybody have a list of parts they can recommend? Thanks in advance! Scott

I'm interested in corresponding with anyone who has done an initial CFI in gliders with an FAA-provided examiner in the last year or two. reply to author should work... thanks, Evan Ludeman

DEC 2016. Texas, USA The FAA has just bestowed upon me, a Designated Pilot Examiner, the somewhat unique privilege and honor to conduct first-time “INITIAL� Flight Instructor (Glider) Practical Tests (“checkrides.�) My 24 month window of authorization to conduct Initial CFIG checkrides...

Hi Gang I recently purchased a portable PowerFlarm from Rex. It came with the old software and I downloaded the 1.2 firmware onto the micro SD card (supplied) and installed it so that the PCAS function would work. I then added the security code for my Mode S transponder which requires you to go...

Mea culpa, I don't have a copy of the FAR's, and a google of ras did not produce a clear answer. Could someone post and decipher what the initial requirements are for a towpilot? Thanks much.

I am considering a B100 for my glider and as in the header I am trying to get an idea of it's value. I looked on the Borgelt site and he has not got a manual listed so I can get a better idea of it's capabilities Any comments from user's. gary

Delorme's marketing is handicapped. https://www.cabelas.com/assets/product_files/pdf/270145_inreach_service_plan.pdf Can someone who currently subscribes confirm that the cost of 6 mos active per year runs $115 plus msg charges on the "freedom" plan? T8

DeLorme AG-009871-201 inReach SE is about 100 bucks cheaper than DeLorme AG-008727-201 InReach Explorer Two Way Satellite Communicator with Built in Navigation I really don't need the navigation - I do want it to supply hight and speed. Does it matter which I buy? WH1

Works perfectly. $150 (shipped to USA) or best offer. Not a scratch. Compatible with Android OS smartphones. Uses 2 AA batteries alkaline, lithium, or rechargeable. Includes RAM mount bracket (two brackets, if I can find the 2nd one). Cancelled service last year due to health issue. Well enough,...

The InReach Aviation plan sounds like the best option when comparing to other plans but it is not mentioned on their website nor offered as a subscription option unless specifically requested by phone. I am not sure why. Also it seem that the aviation plan monthly rates offered by phone are almost...

Just got an inreach and trying to figure out a decent way to mount it on my parachute strap. Always had my spot duct taped to a safe area on my parachute harness but that will not work with the inreach. I prefer to have inreach and plb both connected to the parachute, but am not completely...

anyone else ever have your inReach die? Mine was fully charged, turned it on and got a good tracking signal. Put it in my pocket and went soaring. After I landed it was dead. Can't turn it on at all. Tried to contact Garmin but their customer support system is terrible. Cancelled my...

I have been using SPOT for a number of years, and have found it spotty, frequently missing large gaps. Considering going to inReach, and wondering the merits of Explorer vs SE, and what tracking intervals people are using with the newer devices. Also, wondering about the number of missed hits...

I just "upgraded" from spot to inReach mostly for the ability to compose and address a message in the field (perhaps literally). When using it while fishing in the everglades, I found that texts never made it, and emails could be delayed by hours. The device would confirm that a message was sent...

Has anyone found anything not to like about the Inreach Mini? T8

My inreach has been working for the past year just fine displaying my trace onto glideport.aero. I noticed about a month ago my traces are no longer showing up on there. I know my inreach is sending out tracks I can logon to the website and see them on the map. Any idea what could have caused...
