Hi, I've put some lecture slides on the following topics: * Principles of glider flight * Glider instruments onto the web site: http://www.carrotworks.com/

I've just uploaded a very simple IGC file viewer application for Mac OS X to: http://www.carrotworks.com/ It has exactly three features: 1. It's a native Mac OS X app that should work on Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard on both PPC and Intel architectures.

I've uploaded version 1.1 of GammaFV to: http://www.carrotworks.com/ GammaFV is a simple Mac OS X IGC file viewer that plots the geographic trace of a flight onto a terrain, satellite or road map. Version 1.1 can now colour the trace with vertical speed data. Vertical speed colouring might be a...

Hi all, I’m looking for a reliable, high quality, standalone artificial horizon that fits cleanly in a round hole (I’m not wanting a square barnacle that “fits� into a round hole). Does anyone have any flight experience with either of these: uAvionix...

Hi all, Finally got a second glider electronics experiment filmed and edited. The first experiment looked at the interference created in a microphone signal by a nearby data signal. The second experiment takes the same setup and changes various things in the configuration to determine how well...

Hi all, I got a bit bored and started filming some glider electronics experiments. I am attempting to pitch them to be interesting and understandable even if you don't know much about electronics. First up: Glider Electronics Experiment #1 - electrical crosstalk demonstrated Available...

We own an LS6a. During annual inspection our A&P noticed that one of the rubber bellows on a sliding link in the landing gear assy has split and needs to be replaced. Anyone know of a replacement part? Rich L

We (3 owners) have an LS6 with a "tired" gas spring that lifts the canopy. A simple google search and visits to Wings and Wheels does not turn up a source or specifications for this spring. Does anyone know a replacement part number, or specifications, or a source for a replacement gas spring?

I recently installed a Trig TT22 transponder in our LS6. Today I got to fly it for the first time and I was getting constant conflict alarms on my Oudie about traffic at (for e.g.) my "6 O'Clock and 35ft above me" The only way I could figure out how to silence these alarms was to set my...

I'm posting this mainly as a sanity check. I seem to be banging my head against a brick wall with LXNavigation. I'm in a DuoDiscus syndicate. The glider had an LX7007 IGC FLARM fitted with rear seat repeater. Last winter we had the units factory upgraded to the new LX7007C, with the new colour...

Hi guys, Our club is having a discussion about the merits of reducing airbrake on short final (well before the flare) in order to reduce the rate of descent on the last part of finals - in particular after using full airbrake to correct an overshoot i.e. you are still overshooting but reduce...

Anyone got the pin outs for the Peschges VP8 DB9 & the Din connector Pin outs. Richard

The control of wave windows is apparently moving from ARTCC to the local FISDO. How many of you have letters of agreements for WAVE Windows in the USA.
