Another midair in the pattern by
JJ Sinclair[_2_]
When I see the NTSB report 2 aircraft accidents at the same date, time
& place, it only means one thing. They came together in the air or on
the ground. On 12/20/10 in Madras Origon, a Taylorcraft and Cessna
came together while both were trying to land on runway16. The
Taylorcraft didn't have a...

Transponder antenna - blade vs stub monopole by
5Z
Any aerodynamic thoughts on the two available choices?
My ASH-26E came with the stub mounted just behind the wheel. Every

An ASW-24B in our club is about to get a transponder and the factory
recommends the installation...

14 Volt Gel Cell? by
Joe Allbritten
Does anyone know where I can purchase a 14 Volt gel cell battery. I
know I can wire 2 or more in series to get 14Volt,(12 + 2 or 6 + 8
etc..) but I thought someone might know where you can purchase a
single 14V battery.
Thanks in advance.

Two numbers have been written on the inside of the trailer next to the struts: 455 and 1100.

US Rules change needed for devaluation of contest day by
Tim Taylor
After the day at Moriarty earlier this year and Nephi yesterday for the 15M/Std Combined class the rules for how a day is devalued needs to be addressed. I understand why the rule was modified a few years ago so that if pilots just didn't fly it would not devalue the day, but the criteria of what...

Tow cars and trailers by
Bill Daniels
Well, gas is $3.50/Gal in many parts of the US and who is to say it won't be
$4/gal next summer. This is starting to hurt - and getting me to think of a
more economical vehicle.
Many of us drive larger vehicles than we might otherwise choose simply to
pull our trailers 1% of the time. 99% of...
