I agree with Astir CS and club Astir, also K23. Haven't flown any of the higher performance stuff..If you're looking for wooden ships, then try a Skylark 4 - huge armchair of a cockpit! But probably not too many for sale over there. Forget Ka6 and early DG ships... Andy

Anyone know how to move waypoints from my old trusty GPS 90 to my 'new' Garmin V? Also does anyone have a copy of the manual/handbook for the V, that I can buy/copy/loan? Many thanks...

Anyone know what's going on at Hobbs? This morning I received an email saying that SSA is now mangement for the contest and the link to the 2004 Std Nats seems to have been removed from the NSF website. Please send me a private email if there is something that should not be aired here. Andy

The US Schleicher dealer warned me of a problem with the stick mounted trim lever. If the trim is full forward the instument console will hit the trim lever when the canopy is closed. I heeded the warning and avoided breaking it for over 2 years. My luck ran out last week when, as I rushed to...

If you have a new Cobra trailer you may wish to inspect your tongue jack. The handle is fixed to the worm stem by means of a roll pin. If the roll pin comes out the handle falls off and the inside of the jack, including the wheel, will fall out of the outer casing and contact the road. I...

I had a problem downloading a log from my 302 last Sunday (June 13). Several attempts to download with utility 3UT15255 gave a transfer or communication error (don't remember which). Still didn't work after reset the PDA and power cycing the 302. I verified that MC exchange was working with the...

I need a Cambridge PDA mount system for the Compaq Aero 1530/1550. Prefer the complete mount with short double ball joint adjustment, but also interested in just the shoe if someone updated to a different PDA. Please email me. Thanks

Will someone please explain why the subject of "reverse seeding" for the Region 9 contest at Parowan keeps coming up. Regionals are Regionals, and Regionals are for the contest pilots that live in the region. Others are welcome to come if the contest is not filled. Applicants from the contest...

I spent a few hours playing with SeeYou Mobile ver 1.01 on an Aero 1550 (CE3). Have a few questions for anyone else that has experimented with it: I can't get IGC file playback to work with the demo file or with my igc files. Anyone else seen it work and, if so, what PDA are you using? How do I...

I would like to know the approximate position of the front seat airbrake handle with wheel brake applied.

I measured the bandwith of my Microire receiver. Test method was to set the receiver squelch just above trip point then to sweep an rf generator across the set frequency. The points at which squelch tripped were recorded from the frequency counter built into the rf generator. Results for the...

Recent threads that discussed handling and performance have referred to the aft cg limit, perhaps implying that there is a fixed aft limit. For the ASW-19b and the ASW-28, the gliders I have most recent experience in, the aft cg limit moves forward as the gross weight increases. I assume this is...

Did you find what you wanted? I checked my hard drive and I can't find that version. I do have PN4.5 and 4.5d for CE3. (I'm still running CE2) I see Cambridge and pulled these from their web site and now only has links to Cumulus for GNII. Andy (GY)

Has anyone done one of these and found anything to be particularly difficult? Any areas to pay special attention to? Any help would be appreciated. "We can all learn from experience. But we may run out of gliders before we have all learned."
