I would like to wire the sensor switches that I already have in place for my landing gear and spoilers to my LXNav S80 vario. The S80 user's manual offers little information on how to accomplish this. Hopefully, others before me have got this working, and can offer some advice. I understand that...

I'm sure this topic is well covered, but I simply haven't figured out effective search methods for the group archives. I currently only rent sailplanes and move from one to another. I'm already tired of the rather large variations in the rental fleet variometers and would like to take a small,...

Or is it that when I fly by myself I'm supposed to log it as solo and only log PIC with another pilot in the plane? Then what happens when I have...

Some opinions from those who have flown one. I am actively looking for a glider for myself and trying to fill in my knowledge...
