Hi, would anyone have a template cut out for mounting a Bohli on top of instrument coaming, maybe a ventus or asw 20 ? If you could share one that would be great. John

What is a reasonable value of a Bohli compass? does not appear to have ever been installed Does it still have value? r/Jim

Was wondering if anyone can describe their personal experiences with a Bohli compass. Did you like it was it easy to use? I read the manual which proclaims one can actually use the compass to center thermals and to cloud fly. From my reading it seems as if you would have to be VERY experienced...

Are there any Bohli users that know of a source for parts? DC

Please email: Located in Atlanta, GA USA Will buy internationally.

BoingBoing has a story on the 1990 utopian novel Pacific Edge. The cover features a glider (with winglets). Does anyone know the story behind the cover? http://boingboing.net/2015/01/15/audio-edition-of-pacific-edge.html

Trying to change the tube out. There's 3 small 10 mm nuts on one side. One of them came right off no problem. The other two, turn, but the bolts spin with the nut! The backside of the bolt is inside the wheel. The only one that came off, was just easy to unscrew. If I can't reach inside and...

This weekend Bob Carlton brought his Bonus Jet glider to Phoenix for Arizona Soaring Association members to demo and presented a fine PowerPoint / video presentation after our BBQ dinner at Turf Soaring. What a great time we all had. The weather cooperated, and although it was a tad windy, there...

Along with some excellent gallery shots, you can now see the final results of the inaugural Northwest Regionals. As you will see from the coments in the 'news' section, there will be an increased international turn-out next year - get your entry forms early to avoid disappointment. Make a low...

I went to this website....... http://www.svsp.co.uk/Shop%20Website/pages/Books.htm .........to order a book on refinishing glider gel coats. Unfortunately, the USA was not an option to ship to. Anyone know of any books I could buy from either yourself, or a website that goes through the...

G'day I'm a student glider pilot, just post-solo, looking for a good book on meteorology for gliding that my wife can give me for my birthday. Since Wallington's Meteorology for Glider Pilots is out of print and available copies are prohibitively expensive, I'd appreciate recommendations for other...

Great title... (would have been better as "miles", but oh well.) Its on my to-read list http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/06/27/AR2007062702756.html or http://tinyurl.com/292bpp

Anybody have a good title for a book showing good airfoils for sailplanes (preferable ones good for ultralight sailplanes)? One with coordinates for those airfoils would be great! Scott http://corbenflyer.tripod.com/

I'm nearly finished reading Stick and Rudder by Wolfgang Langewiesche. Although it's mostly about powered flight, it does a great job of explaining how airframes and controls and maneuvers work. It's firmed up a bunch of things I'd been observing and speculating about. But I'm wondering... it was...

Hej, My club is looking for a free, or very low cost, booking system. Does anyone have any suggestions ? Up until now we used a free service that suddenly without warning turned non-free :-(. Puts us in a bit of an awkward position. We are about 200 users with roughly 15 aircrafts, but the...

It's winter here and I figure I should spend some of the time furthering my book knowledge of soaring. I fly XC and compete, but in hanggliders not sailplanes. I assume there are well regarded books from the sailplane perspective out there. I'm looking specifically for anything that gives me better...

Hi, I saw a glider recently with a "ambiance" microphone installed in the instrument panel (facing the pilot, it only takes a small hole in the instrument panel). I was wondering how this performed compared to what we're used to = goosneck microphone on the cockpit side. I like the idea, it's...

I need to buy ASAP a boom mike that can be used with Becker 3201. Does anyone have one seating on a shelf and collecting dust? If yes and are willing to sell it please call me on my cell # 509-380-4106. I am heading to an airport few miles north and will not be available via email. Jacek Pasco,...

Wondering if anyone has boosted the horsepower of a Solo 2350 turbo (or sustainer engine) to get better high and hot performance? If anyone has done this would like both positive and negative comments as to the work done, the results and what they did to boost engine performance.

Have seen lots of comments about where and how to mount PowerFLARM antennas.. Any stories of the effect of changing the TYPE of antenna used: e.g., from (in my case) the short, stubby Portable PowerFLARM rod antenna to, say, the center-fed dipole that comes with the core? The question is with...
