The squelch on my Dittel FSG 50 has got to the point where it lets a lot of noise through. After a search of the Internet, I have found many allusions to the fact that this can be adjusted with one of the internal pots, but cannot find any reference of which one to actually turn. I've attached a...

I fly with the sample rate on my VL set to give me about 9+ hours of data recording. That's sufficient for two normal flights, and I usually dump it after every flight. However, the thing begins complaining about low memory when it has 8 hours left, and it keeps complaining every few minutes. ...

The accidents in Namibia which totaled gliders and claimed a life deserve more respect than that offered by our friend "Fred Drift". Hey, it's fun to land with a drag chute. I regret never trying ASW17B 15 meter drag chute landings. At 20m it was huge fun. Jim

There have been lots of requests for additional information on the Taurus so we have a Newsletter by following this link. http://www.mcp.com.au/sinus/newsletters/newsletter-15/newsletter-15.html Thanks Michael Coates

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for a Dittel FSG50. I have a lot of colour coded wires trailing out the back from the cradle and no idea where they go! Thanks Chris

The weak dollar has driven the price of a new glass slipper with instruments, trailer and shipping to $100,000 US dollars (Bad News) I have watched the dollar exchange rate for almost 30 years and I have made some observations. When the dollar gets this weak, new sales drop off and buyers are...

Hi folks, I'm in the process of installing new connecting rods in my Ventus B would like to know what everyone is using if any for the slide lube where those connecting rods like to ride. The material that the slide is made out of seems to be impervious to wear so that's good but the rods are...

Hi folks, I hope this question isn't terribly redundant, but I am having a heck of a time locating any sailplane plans. In the '70s they were everywhere, but now that I have both the inclination and the facilities and the resources, the only plans I find a 1) a 1929 Primary...

I know there is a thread going on about and around the latest tragic accident from 5-9-2020 and I preferred to start a new thread as I felt uncomfortable going into a dry technical discussion in the context. So the issue is: I would like to know more about the aerodynamics of the towplane in all...

Hi, I'am not quite sure this is the right forum to post my question, let me try (I also found some specific gps forums) I just bought a garmin gpsmap 76s mainly for use in a glider (hence the post in the current forum) I wonder if someone has some experience with such device for two...

I have looked at the LK8000 video and browsed some of the forum threads. Would someone please tell me: Where can I find list of supported hardware devices? Where can I go to download PC and target hardware apps? thanks

Is there a softcopy someone can send me? ... or any helpful reference? The running lights on my 2002 Cobra work properly but I get strange results with the turn signals, testing with three different tow vehicles. Are there any caveats I should be aware of in using 6-way-round to 4- way-flat and...

Is it powered direct or by another instrument? Did you install a dedicated fuse? Did you install a dedicated off/on switch or is it slaved? Do you use a dedicated GPS antennae or split with another instrument. Do you ever have the in-flight need to turn it off? If you have...

Does anyone out there in r.a.s. land know how to get a German Oxygen cylinder recertified to DOT specifications, and a place to get it done? I think it is out of date, and I got I with the glider, a DG800B. It appears to be in good shape-no dings or scratches. It has no DOT cert number on the neck,...

There are some designs which have no horizontal stab: flying wings for example. There are also canard setups (the speed canard, for example). For a sailplane, I was thinking about how one might design away the typical T-tail stabilizer and elevator. First of all, how much dynamic stability does...

Here is the feedback on my trailer towing problem. I thought I'd make a detailed write up to share what I learned with others. I was waiting until I gave a real towing trip as proof that this fix worked. I recently drove from Atlanta up to the Sequatchie Valley in TN. This included highway...

Is the Sparrowhawk handling suitable for a low time glider pilot who flies infrequently? How is pitch and roll sensitivity compared to say, a Discus B? One of our club members seems to have a big problem staying in position on tow. He does just OK in a K21. I need to know how to help him or...

Hi, I'm taking on the tough task of creating a comparison table for soaring flight software. Of course I can't mention every single features found in every product, so I'm trying to hit the unique features found in each product. You can view the very preliminary table...

I am a member of the council for my University gliding club - fairly new compared to most of the people in this forum, but hey i enjoy it. We currently own a K13 aircraft with a (fairly) serviceable trailer. we have been offered an Acro with no trailer, and in order to buy it we will need to sell...
