Sealing an ASW 28 canopy by Bob Caldwell
After seeing the thread about the PIK canopies I wanted to ask if anyone had taken any extra ordinary steps to seal an ASW canopy. To date all I have done is to put some sticky back foam at the front near the demist vent. It is pretty good but I suspect it can be better. I have heard that it...

Xponder installation for a V2cxT by Bob Caldwell
Hi Folks, I am about to install a xponder. I have read Eric's paper on the subject but still have a couple of questions specific to my ship. 1) Antenna type and mounting location? Coax routing to the antenna? I have heard some SH gliders mount the antenna under the glare shield but I would...

Flight Analysis by Bob Caldwell (BC)
Hi Pilots, I usually do analysis on my flights and those of other pilots I flew with to try understand what I did right or wrong and what I can learn from pilots better than me. A recent flight on OLC showed that I circled 15.5% of the time at an average of 3.3m/s (about 6.4 kts). Opening the...

Phishing Emails by Bob Caldwell (BC)
Hi pilots, I know we have been warned before about this but here is another warning. I have a glider listed on W&W and am getting emails like the following. The bad grammar should be a tip off, of course, kind of like my distant relative who won the lottery in Nigeria. Don't fall for it....
