Need Schroth seat belt clip by
bdbng
I purchased a new set of Schroth belts last season and now I want to
add a 5th strap to hold the release down at my waist. I called the
distributor and was informed that Schroth hardware is no longer

have a clip that I can have...

Scroll down the "Compare Flight" tab for gliders comparison.
Click on table headings to sort.

iGlide and iPad mini by
Jonathan St. Cloud
Anyone flying with iGlide and an iPd mini? What are your thoughts, does the iPad mini work well in the cockpit? Are you happy with this combination, is the mini bright enough to see in the cockpit, does the battery last long enough, what mount do you use?
Any comments would be helpful. Thanks

PZL compass by
Solo
I have a PZL KI-13A compass. The fluid seems to have drained out. I contacted PZL for information on how to repair but, their recommendation was to replace the unit because of the shipping cost.
Is there a way to refill the compass with the appropriate fluid?

Mike Mitton "captured" the PASCO egg from Truckee September 28 with a
nice flight out of Minden. He towed with SoaringNV to the west to see
if the clouds on that side of the valley would work, and after
scratching around for about an hour finally made it south far enough
to have the 100 km...

Two recent incidents by
Uncle Fuzzy
Sorry if this is boring, but the last discussion pretty much focused
on the release / rudder waggle. I can't get to the NTSB report just

(loose hand held radio blocking forward stick movement) that the pilot
released, still...
