I've had to replace a balky Compaq Aero 1520, running Glide Navigator II with an Ipaq. I was worried about the readability of the color screen vs. the gray scale of the Aero. The newer Ipaq is a 3955. I decided to go for an Ipaq rather than another Aero, like a 1550, because: 1. The Ipaq was...

We purchased a Schweizer Trailer and we will be using it for our 2-33. We would like to see how it is secured on the trailer. Does the stabilizer need to be removed? Please send pictures of your setup and any fixtures that you are using. Thanks Randy Tulsa, OK

I just replaced the gas springs/struts for my trailer with ones from EasySprings of North America. They were very helpful. If they do not have what you need on the shelf, they will custom make them to your specifications. Fortunately I was able to read the label on my old struts (900N) so with a...

One of the hydraulic struts on my Komet trailer went flat (the ones that hold the top up). In what would be a very un-gliderpilot-like act, I guess I should replace them both. But where? Any clues? 05
