From the cockpit, I want to transfer my flight log to my phone and email it to the contest scorer. If your IGC approved logger is Bluetooth equipped and it is paired to your phone, is it just a simple matter of downloading log to phone and emailing the file? Are there any "security" issues or 3rd...

The US Schleicher dealer warned me of a problem with the stick mounted trim lever. If the trim is full forward the instument console will hit the trim lever when the canopy is closed. I heeded the warning and avoided breaking it for over 2 years. My luck ran out last week when, as I rushed to...

The Soaring Club of Houston and the Houston TRACON have recently agreed to allow tow planes to squawk 1201 during towing operations. The ATC sector manager agrees that it is a good idea and it is worth trying for a couple of months. After the trial period, our club and TRACON will talk to review...

I am pleased to announce IGC-approval for the LXNAV Nano 4 Flight Recorder from LXNAV of Celje, Slovenia, for "all flights" including world records. This is a small stand-alone recorder with a screen, and sensors for engine operation using both low and high frequency noise. The low frequency...

It's leaking where the bag is clamped to the PVC pipe just before the ball valve with the push rod. It's likely original as I bought it with 230 hours in 2008. When I remove the clamps, what will I find for the seal? Is the existing sealant RTV or a gasket? What to use to re-seal it? Will I...

Hi all, I'm looking for a JS1 or ASG29 for the WGC in Uvalde next year. I fly a 29(E) back home and it is available as an exchange if that option suits you. regards David Jansen (4D) Australia

I fly an ASW-28. The under-surface of the wing has a nice little piece of plastic that covers the dump valve and which is hinged by a piece of cloth tape. When flying with water ballast my assumption is that correct procedure is to leave the piece of plastic in place, but open and hanging down from...

Sarah Kelly-Arnold and Rachel Flem had an amazing flight in a lowly 2-33A on Thursday. It appears they may have set 12 new TN records and 3 national records with this flight. I think Sarah deserves more of a medal for sitting in the back seat of the 2-33 for the four hours plus.. Anyway,...

I’ve been trying to get the rate of "own transponder detection" by my PowerFlarm Core as low as possible. Nothing I’ve done has improved it beyond roughly every 10 minutes, on average. Sometimes it’s much worse, showing up almost constantly. Turning off PCAS isn’t really an option for me,...

Fellow US & Canadian racing pilots, The second installment of the 5 event Florida Grand Prix Racing Series is coming up on November 1-3. Friday (Nov 1) is a practice day. 5-6 gliders confirmed in each class (low, mid and high performance). As of this post, there is still room for 2-3...
