Cambridge 302 Tones Described by ContestID67[_2_]
When I purchased the Cambridge 302 I was somewhat bewildered by the different tones that the 302 can make during flight - other than lift/ sink that is. Once I flew with the 302 for a while the various tones started to make sense. You can listen to lift, sink, speed to fly, gear warnings, slow...

Pilot Events Mandated by IGC? by ContestID67[_2_]
I just read the following in the Cambridge 302 manual (http:// www.cambridge-aero.com/manuals/302_v3.pdf - page 7) "...used to log Pilot EVents (PEV) in the flight log as mandated by the IGC." I have never heard that Pilot Event logging was *MANDATED* by the IGC. I searched and found...

Position Recorders allowed the US for Silver badges? by Bastoune
I spent a bit of time on the SSA website trying to find out if "Position Recorders" (not an IGC Approved Flight Recorder) are allowed for Silver badges. The info from 2010 seems to indicate that Position Recorders are not allowed for Silver badges, unless someone has in addition a barograph. Did I...

Leasing Sailplanes? by Ian D[_2_]
Hello, Some college friends and I have been flying sailplanes with the eventual goal of getting into competition soaring. This would not be for a while, but we were wondering if it is common to find competition sailplanes available for lease during a season? If so, what is a 'typical' cost range?...

Cambridge Cables by Bill[_19_]
Looking for the cable that goes from the back of the Cambridge GPS 20 box to the bottom of an Aero 1520 Pocket PC. I understand they are 1) Out of production and 2) Subject to failure both from the wires breaking and the clip mechanism wearing out. Would like to buy a couple of them to have for...

LS-4 Trim Lock coming loose with stick deflection? by gs03jsa
Hi Folks - Quick question - does anyone have experience with the LS-4 Trim Lock coming loose with large control deflection? I'm not quite sure what's causing the mechanism to slip - whether it is a cable adjustment issue, weak spring issue, or whether the brackets that lock the tube are just worn...

Revisiting the Cambridge Model 20 OLC failures... by Westbender
Has anyone figured out a way to submit valid igc files from these devices? For the last few seasons, everything was working fine. This year, about 3 out of every 4 OLC postings produce an invalid status. The OLC folks have been nice enough to fix the log file status, but they cannot continue to do...

Any IPAD App designers out there? by lanebush
It sure would be nice to have an IPAD app to keep track of glider times on the flight line. Maybe a clock at the top with the ability to log launch and landing times for multiple gliders and pilots simultaneously while showing elapsed time in the air for each flight etc.... Sure would beat our...

FS: Gap Tape by Thomas Johnson[_3_]
End of the season sell out of gap tape. 40 rolls of tape for $40 post paid in the USA. That is less than $1 a roll if you subtract the shipping costs. By the way, it looks as if the US Post Office is going to change rates for shipping so this may be the last time I can sell tape for $40 for 40.
