I finally made contact with someone in the Santa Barbara County Assessor's office and they were very helpful. After I identified myself and asked why I had gotten these two forms to fill out, she started checking the records. She very quickly found my data file. It would appear that two people...

Help in finding = anyone out there know where one could be found?

I've ended up with a couple of these Flight Recorders that I have no use for. One was used once. I don't think the other was ever used. I'd like $115 for each of them and will pay shipping within the US. Rob

Linking a couple of recent threads: Connecting multiple varios and how to change ASI markings.... I discovered the reason for a flight computer's inconsistent readings was the bezel on the ASI not being tight enough to seal. Snugging it up resulted in a more accurate ASI and flight...

Thanks to those that replied to my post in September. One Pawnee was fixed by changing the crank seal, the other was fixed by snugging down the governor plate nuts. It took a while to hear about this as I don't see the mechanics that often. I was not able to reply on that old thread. Andy

180 hp Super cub with experienced tow pilot for hire at your next glider outing or special event. The tow plane performs well even at high density altitudes. We keep our costs to a minimum in order to make it less expensive for the glider pilots. We are based out of Las Vegas, NV but of course are...

My wife is on my case to get rid of a truck project I'm never going to finish. I'm going to end up with a leftover 350 small block and a TH 400. What, oh what am I going to do with this stuff? ; - P

To those of you in the USA who have bought new gliders from Schempp- Hirth with Cobra trailers: Where can I find the key to the trailer when I go to the docks to accept delivery of my new Discus 2? Thanks! F2

Would be interested in hearing from a mature instructor who might be interested in working at a commercial operation in the western U.S. Wave and tow pilot experience all that much better. email

Well I've had a few flights in fiberglass gliders. A hop in the DG-1000 in Marfa was the first. I've also taken a ride in a Grob 103 although I was mainly an instructor passenger on that flight. Today a friend and sometimes student let me fly his Salto. What a hoot! I had read through several...
