I fly a motor glider out of the San Francisco Bay Area and frequently head over the Sierras to the good soaring. My question has to do with lift on the Sierras themselves. I've occasionally been able to soar on them, but most of the time find them marginal at best. Clouds which would indicate...

I've been looking for a friend on the SSA Sailplane Tracker but there are no flights currently shown for Moriarty, NM.Â* A quick look at Flightaware 0E0 clearly shows him south bound out of Moriarty.Â* What's up? -- Dan 5J

Interesting home-brewed investigation into the drag between the fin-type and rod-type transponder antenna by one of our friends in The Netherlands. Seems like the fin type antenna - unless mounted exactly on the centerline of the glider, where the flow is expected to be parallel - may produce a lot...

Schleicher has informed us that the FAA is still delayed in issuing a Standard Airworthiness for our new ASK 21B as well as the Flight and Maintenance Manuals. Actions have consequences: the Government shutdown is being cited by FAA personnel for not having completed this work. There have been - to...

Hey Guys, I am excited to announce that the second annual Aero Club Albatross winter seminars tickets are now available at: February 2nd: Soaring with the Champions - Higher, Farther, Faster, Longer! https://aca-soaring-with-champs.eventbrite.com - March 2nd: Gliding to Racing- Learning to...

We're making a new winch drum. The flanges on our drum bent out a little when moving from steel to Spectra line. I'd like to know the dimensions and structure of any drums/flanges that have failed, or shown signs of failing, and with what length and type of line. Please pass this on to anyone...

Remember it takes a college degree to fly a plane, but only a high school diploma to fix one: After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a gripe sheet, which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on...

I plan on taking an extended trip to Europe next year and want to do some mountain flying while there. Have seen 2 great videos on Youtbe. 1 in Switzerland and 1 in France http://youtu.be/2_a1Pq-zjrU http://youtu.be/vRBJvME2CQU I guess Switzerland is expensive but would welcome views from anyone...

Hello, All, I'm very happy to announce that my club now has a Piper Pawnee. It has a 260hp engine, Hutchinson conversion and a Tost tow hook. It's gone through a long rejuvenation process with all new electrical system, glass, radio, transponder, lights, strobe and encoder. Despite flying in the...

I found out today that Popular Science put all of their issues going many years back into Google Books, available for free. I was just browsing Jul 1948 issue when I found this article there that talks about the soaring in 1948 and Robinson "Rate of climb" instrument. Man we have it easy these...

Any ideas where a student like me can find an affordable volkslogger? Many thanks, Sarmed.

Thanks to Hurricane Francis, we recently (involuntarily) spent 7 days disconnected from the South Florida power grid. Even though we were far more prepared than our neighbors, it was an uncomfortable experience but we learned a bunch. Our Equipment: Coleman Fluorescent lanterns, Cheap battery...

Hi, I don't believe you can switch languages without sending it back to the factory. The reason I think that is true is that they sell several versions of the GPS-NAV display. One in English, one in German, one in Italian, etc. However, I've never gone through that process, so I'm not...

I would appreciate if someone could provide me with the schematic for wiring the Terra TX760D aircraft radio. Original info was lost sometime ago. Was not able to come up with the schematic with a google search.
