First off, I am an A&P, but not a pilot. I have a relative that has a glider and needs to put "wing wheels" on his glider. He said that they want some pretty decent money for them. I have a friend that is an excellent machinist and I was thinking of getting them together and see if he can make...

Wanted Rotax 505 Crankshaft Part Number 994570. No longer available and looking for any assistance in locating one. Many thanks! Paul

Some of you remember Walter Cawby, he was an active contest flier for years and a retired airline captain. Walter gave up flying gliders a few years back and still flew his beloved Baron. Walter was always interested in sailplanes, competed all over the country and his wife Kay was a;ways a big...

I wanted to upgrade my SeeYou Mobile and was told by Naviter that the new licencing system included both wSeeYou and SeeYou Mobile. I received a lot of information about wSeeYou and other software I don't need but I was not supplied with a registration key for my upgraded SeeYou Mobile...

20 year old strong 303 parachute for an equivelent softie so i may trade it in and get a $300 discount on a new softie. Jim

I have a buyer for my ASW-20 re-build project, but he needs a trailer to act as a shipping container, if nothing else (read; it doesn't have to be in great shape) Hopefully in Western US, I'm in Placerville, CA. Thanks, JJ Sinclair

Glenn Holden is doing the scoring at the Sports Class and World Class race going on right now at Bermuda High in South Carolina, and he's getting the scores posted in what must be record time. He usually has the scores posted between 1630 hrs and 1830 hrs on THE SAME DAY as the race! No waiting...

Was wondering what a GPS 20 version 5 something with a display and a L Nav version 5 something in good working condition are worth?

Is there any rationality to the numbering of waypoints in files? Looking at some from the Turnpoint Exchange, I can't find any real order. If there's not a reason for a waypoint to be a specific number, I can shuffle and renumber at will, right??

I'd like to earn my diamond altitude via thermal. Anyone know of an operation (probably western US) where this can be done?

I am new to using winpilot. I like the software but the documentation is a little weak. Setting up an assigned area task it asks for min distance and max distance . Would the answers be the radius of the turnpoint. e.g. 10 mile radius equals 10 mile minimum, and 10 mile maximum. Is there a winpilot...

We will be having a morning competition class for new and old alike. A morning breadfast girl will also have coffee, juices, and snacks before the competition class will be held. Classes will run 30 minutes before the daily pilot briefings, and the panel will have on it, some of our country's best....

I'm looking for a used Ilec SN-10 as well as a Winter Vario to spruce up my old Kestrel. Please let me know if you are interested in selling either of these instruments or have a lead as to where I could acquire them. Thanks.

I am pleased to announce that, after testing by the IGC GFA Committee and its technical experts, the LX Navigation LX7007F GPS flight recorder has been added to the IGC-approval document for the LX7000 series of recorders, effective 17 March 2006. The LX7007F has a FLARM module mounted inside the...

Hi all, Back in 1996 Schleicher issued a mandatory inspection requirement for the metal structiure of the Ka8 fuselage. I have recently obtained a Ka8 which unfortunately doesn't have log book. I am assured that all the inspections and mods were carried out (the glider wwas previously owned by a...

This question is motivated by the recent discussion about deriving polars from flight logs. We know that GPS fixes have some amount of (absolute) error. What is their accuracy relative to each other? In other words, when I'm analyzing flight logs, how accurately can I calculate something like sink...

I read on the website that last year the SSA folks in Hobbs hand stuffed 10,000 mailers that were sent to potential members. And, that the results were less that satisfactory to them. This seems to me to me a very significant effort by a very small number of already overworked people. We all...

Someone asked me about "uncooperative passengers." As I learned it, if it's a temporary thing (student during spin training holding the yoke back in terror) then hand over his mouth and pinch his nose. You'll get an uncontrolled release as he reaches up. For more determined "uncooperativeness,"...

I have a 2 year old fiberglass top Cobra trailer. When new, I applied WX block, and used NU finish every 6 months. Half the year it is under cover. Needless to say the top is weather worn, and the factory gloss is no longer. This weathering has happen within these 2 years. I believe, since what I...

I am currently out of dry Italian Red wine. If you have any suggestions, please deliver to my hangar. 9P- I just finished a nice bottle of Italian red wine. It is now dry. Pay the shipping and it is yours!
