Anyone have one of those brass 200x50 (20mm axle) tailwheels laying around and want to sell/trade it? TIA, -Paul

Bravely bold Sir Robin Rode forth from Camelot He was not afraid to die Oh Brave Sir Robin He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways Brave, Brave, Brave Brave Sir Robin. He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp Or to have his eyes gouged out, and his elbows...

Dear All, Can any body describe what are the differences between the Brawo and the Jantar Standard 3? Construction, profiles, performance? Thank you! Aldo Cernezzi

I have a 1979 Brazov IS29-D2 Lark. The rubber donuts are starting to wear out and get brittle on the main gear shock absorber. Does anyone know where I could get replacements? Either used from another glider, or manufactured new by someone who can match the donuts to the original spec?

Just wanted to fish for the procedures and experiences out there on this subject. Our overhauler and our mechanic both say no towing for 10-18 hours.... We can do this, of course, but we are eager to get back to towing as soon as we can. Any experience or procedures out there that might get us...

I often see GA and gliders that use breakers as switches. Is this such a good idea? Are breakers rated to be used as switches? These aircraft usually, but not always, have at least a master switch. Our tow plane uses Tyco W31 series breakers which incorporate bat handles and are designed to be...

Late Wed. night a fire started in a boat shop that was adjacent to the shop, (Aero Product) where the fuselage molds for the Silent were. The Silent fuselage molds are destroyed also ruined are the molds for the leading edge of the ATOS rigid wing hang glider. The building held several job shops...

Hi, I'm a french glider pilot, flying at La Montagne Noire, near Toulouse; I also bring up with a glider museum on the airfield. In our collection, we have a two-seater Breguet 904, a Breguet 901 and a Breguet 905 Fauvette; those gliders can still fly, and we would like to collect some...

Morning ... anybody have contact information for a UK pilot named Brendan Chaplin (or perhaps Chapman) ... who flew out of Blairstown NJ (USA) ~25 years ago ... thanks ... KK

Hi all, As part of my University job, I provide technical support to three academic conferences a year. Our summer one this year was in Honolulu, Hawaii and I just got back. (Jet lag is killing me. It’s 11 pm in Houston and I am not the least bit tired and work calls at 8 am tomorrow!) My...

Just received a Streak 5, updated to Froyo and installed XCSoar for Android, and thought I would compare it to the MIO 400 with LK8000 that I used last year and give a quick review. First of all, if you purchase a Streak 5 on Ebay, expect to pay about $300-$400.00. If it is a used Streak like I...

Are there any BG-7's in America? Thanks, reply to

Hey ya'll, Any opinions/experience regarding the Briegleb 12B? As always, I look to the vastness of your communal experience and appreciate willingness to share it with others. This is a great group. Curt

I bought a hangar a while back that has a wood glider project. Fuselage, stab and fin seem pretty much assembled. One wing is a skeleton and there is an assortment of pieces. I have NO PAPERWORK OF ANY KIND except for one badly faded construction drawing on which I was able to make out a model...

The audio alert warning on the PowerFlarm works as intended in gliders. However, in self-launch or motorgliders while the engine is on and in tow planes, the audio is of no use unless connected through to the headset. I find a bright LED indicator gets my attention, so built this as a portable...
