Our club has been cleaning out a lot of accumulated treasurers. We discovered we have 2 Winter Barographs, in breifcases, with some assortment of champor and other supplies. We no longer use them - no one can remember the last time one was used, let alone calibrated. We will sell them for...

I am looking to purchase a PW-5 located in Europe. The sailplane needs to be airworthy and have a tralier that will be in good enough shape to run on EU highways. I can buy the PW-5 and keep or buy and sell back to the current owner at a profit (to the current owner) the first of August 2010. I...

I'm frustrated. Flying with the LX 7007 with the 2.01 upgrade (?) (I sent into LX last fall to upgrade). I'm flying my first contest at Air Sailing and today I got scored with an "NVS" (not valid start). It was a 5 mile cylinder with a 11K top and I KNOW that I was within limits when I started. ...

Last year I noticed that if you are flying a contest start and you exit the start cylinder through the top the latest version of SeeYou Mobile doesn't start the task correctly. I pointed this out to the SeeYou team in January at the convention and they said a new release would fix the...

Hi, I have uploaded a bunch of photos from the Sport Class Nationals at Parowan, UT. What a fun place to...

Being in ways, "obsessed" with the high-tech $300,000 motorglider for years, I've always wondered if a BRS can be installed. After reading about a similar glider, the Pipistrel Taurus, which has a BRS installed, I thought can the Stemme do the same to boost safety?! beause you still have to wear...

Looking for trailer hauler from Alexandria IN to Utah - ready to go.

I'm from Thailand, and they don't have sailplanes here.(they have paragliding but i don't like that) Just curious, I want to fly sailplanes and want to get lessons, but where should I get them? I want to train where they'rs friendly hospitality and high safety record. Thanks...

I've seen many videos and images and noticed something strange, the pilots of the Taurus's sit on the co-pilot's seat rather than sitting in the left-side traditionally... Is there something that has to do with the design have to do with this factor?

The FSG 40 is a 720 channel panel radio identical to the later model 60/60m/70 and 71 models in size . The freq selection is via manual two level knobs without any preselection buttons, that came in the later models. There are many FSG40 radios still in glider panels because Dittel make top quality...

Hi Gang There is another current thread on the Taurus concerning from which seat does the PIC usually fly and which hand is on the stick. Well the Stemme poses similar questions. On takeoff from the left seat I use my left hand on the stick with right hand on the throttle. Landing right hand on...

Nice video about the JS1 at http://tinyurl.com/37zyeh6. To see part 2, you have to click on the thumbnail of the woman in the glider.

What kind of auto or truck have you seen launch a sailplane with? Would a Dodge Ram 1500 4X4 do the trick? What are the requirements to become endorsed for auto launching? What are the recommended rope lengths and types of pulley's for a 3900 ft runway?

I am considering a one-man to assist in the assembly - I figure it will work but since the wings are a bit bigger than other gliders I assist with assembly, I'm curious if other jantar-drivers use a one- man and comments on how it works if they do. Thanks in advance, John

Due to recent cancellations we have room for more gliders during our trip to Mackay, ID from 7/26 to 8/09. There is room at the nearby RV park. We will have our Scout tow plane at the airport during those dates. Please contact me for more information if you would like to join us. Tom Dixon Idaho
