B-40 on gliderpilot.net by
sisu1a
There usually seems to be someone that wants a deal on a B-40, and
they rarely show up used. It's 57mm, almost new w/paperwork, and the
guy wants 175GBP for it. Seems like a decent deal to me...http://

Artificial Horizon - Android or iPhone Bubble/Level App? by
V1[_4_]
There are lots of bubble/level apps available for both Android and iPhone. I played with one on the ground (it combines a level and compass) including doing simulated steady state turns; it seems accurate and repeatable. I wondered if it could function as an artificial horizon in a pinch, like...

Emergencies on aerotow by
[email protected]
You cannot teach safety in paragraph-long sound bites.
Unlike a high percentage of glider pilots, if you want to be a safe pilot, you need to educate yourself.

FS: Gap Tape by
Tom Johnson
40 Rolls of white gap tape for $45
Shipping paid to addresses in the USA.
This tape is good for single day use.
Put it on, fly, take it off.
It is NOT as good as the $8 to $15 a roll
tape, but for about $1.10 a roll it is a
reasonable alternative.
