Our club needs to do a weight and balance on our Grob 103 after refinishing and some other mods. We are wanting to use calibrated/certified scales, but the cost of having it weighed or purchasing a set of scales is quite high.. What have others done to get their W&B completed yet not break the...

My radio stopped working. I'm transmitting, but with no audio. I think it's probably the mic, but there are some other components between the mic and the radio. Is there some way I can test my electret mic to confirm it's actually the mic before I order a replacement? From what I understand...

It's Janis Joplin's birthday today. Happy birthday, Janis. Sing with me... Oh Lord, won't you buy me a ClearNav Display? My friends all fly Oudies, I must beat them today! I've tried all the others, they just get in my way. So Lord, won't you buy me a ClearNav Display?

SoaringNV will be holding a Silver Badge Cross-Country Camp from Monday, July 23rd through the 27th. The camp is designed to help the low-time glider pilot gain the skills, knowledge, and judgment required to safely and successfully fly cross-country. Our goal is to have all participants have...

In another thread, some folks mention flying with these "light sensitive" glasses. I have a pair, but find I must use clip-ons while driving, as the glasses apparently react to UV, and the car's windows filter most of it. I have also found that same effect, though a bit milder in the sailplane. ...

I am (was) the other owner of the Caproni that went down at San Geronimo AirPark. I'd like to provide factual information that may prevent some rumors that appear to be floating around. There were four of us that assembled the Caproni. My partner in the aircraft, his business partner, and my son....

To all those who responded re original article I offer my apologies. There were two articles, and to use an Aussie expression they have gone "Walkabout" or just plain "Missing". I will still keep searching, and will let you know if or when I find them. Sincerely, Ron Baker (Australia)

Perhaps some knowledgeable person can help me with this. I recently started using an iPAQ with GPS_LOG WinCE interfaced to a Garmin II. Before flying with it, I did a test run over the hills in my car; it logged the trip perfectly and the log included the G-record. I then flew with it and it...

Jeff, A Jantar is a fantastic machine, with good performance for the price. Shame you cant use one with a 'normal' canoy, but really and truly a split canopy is of no hindrence what-so-ever. With regards to tipping over - its probably the least of your worries if you are landing in a field where...

I need to be in the San Diego area for a conference in early March and am contemplating taking a few extra days off and driving down there (from the SF Bay Area) with my glider rather than flying. I've done this before, going to Pasadena and flying two days at Great Western Soaring...

Today I took a step toward settling a question I've had for a long time. After making sure the frequency was pretty empty, I went ahead and made the call: Me: Pitt Approach, Schweizer glider 34367. PA: Aircraft calling Pitt, say again call sign. Me: Pitt Approach, this is Schweizer glider...

I was at IVSM last weekend...unfortunately couldn't stay longer, but this is again a great event and if you get a chance to go well worth the time spent.....I've added a few images of the event (quickly) and will add more if anyone has images or comments they too would like to share.... please look...

Was there a Russia crash in Washington State recently?

Our California soaring club has raised the money and is now looking for a DG-505.

Those of you who can (but don't) listen to BBC Radio 4 may be interested to know that there's a program, "The White Stuff", on Monday 17 May about clouds. It may be good, it may be terrible. Who knows? But now you know about it. -- martin@ : Martin Gregorie gregorie : Harlow, UK demon :

Hi Dave (Martin), My compliments to Jan Szladowski (whom I know) and your very good self. 'Kwadrat', in Polish, is a 'square' - as in the geometrical figure with four, equal, sides. In the gliding context, it refers to the launch point.
