Does anyone know the dates for this event? I know that it is Moriarity but I can't find any more info about it. I've tried the 1-26 association's site but I can't find anything about the specific dates. Thanks, Dan

Hey Group, I've got a 1975 Std, Cirrus new to me. I am replacing the com radio and in the process I deleted a poorly done splice in the coax cable with a rg-58 solder end. After the bnc end was installed, I measured the resistance between the center and shield leads, I measured 0.9 ohms, thinking I...

I've recently purchased an LS-3a. My P.O.H. does not include a Polar Curve Graph, so I'm having difficulty finding difficulty in finding speeds for Min. sink, speeds to fly in Headwind/Tailwind, and in sink. Any Help is appreciated.

This may be a bit of an unusual request but this club-owned glider is for sale and I am considering buying it. I have a copy the logs books and am aware of its official history but I'm looking for a subjective opinion from anyone who might have first hand experience with the glider. Its 3000 miles...

If anyone has a wiring diagram for an Edo-Aire RT-551, please contact me. Thanks, Gary

Hi all. Just wondering if anyone else is having trouble renewing their xcskies account or is it just mine? Regards Brendon

Redoing my panel and looking for label material suggestions. Have used 3M Scotchcal vinyl film and Gerber Quantum marking films in past. Since they are designed for external vinyl signs, the printing holds up very well to UV. The problem is the adhesive. Since some of the labels are only 1/8" x...

Hi Race Fans, We got tinfoil covered antennas, what other FARTS (Flarm Arms Race Tactics) can we think of? Maybe we can think of a way to spoof our opponents Flarms. C'mon, who'll be first (or maybe someone already has)?

Need to replace the seal that runs along the top of the lower half of my clam shell trailer. Current material is an inch wide and was originally a soft, low-profile material that nestled into the grove in the upper half when the trailer is closed. Any ideas appreciated before I delve into the...

Hi all, There appears to be a fairly major discrepancy between the US and European PowerFlarm units. The European version is 690EUR which at an exchange rate of 1.1 I calculate as $759. The pricing at Cumulus is $1460 or almost double. Is there some major difference between the units that...

I'm looking for a glider friendly seat cushion maker. The original factory cushions are a bit thin and I was wondering if another club or commercial operator has a best solution for this. Normaly I'd take the old thin cushions to a local upholstery shop for fattening. I've used my Sheep Skinned...

Looking for the CAI 302 gurus out there... I have a new to me CAI 302 that has several pilot names programed in it. I want to delete all of the old pilots from the device. I found the 302 dataport specification document, which says that I should be able to issue a "CLEAR PILOT" command from a...

I have a Discus B without a headrest. I would like to fabricate one but I don't want to re-invent the wheel. Has anyone done this? If so, are any pictures available so I can shamelessly copy it? Or, if there are any factory headrests for later models a picture or two of them would be very...

Howdy All, Does anyone have any experience or know anything about any seabreeze convergence soaring that has been accomplished off the DE Bay, Chesapeake Bay, or the NJ Coast? I have seen it develop and have played with it locally, but have their been any bigger flights utilizing it? I have been...
