Replacement axle for Eberle trailer by
5Z
A friend just had the axle break on his Eberle trailer. Any thoughts on an easy swap? Or should he rent a flatbed to get it home then take his time to replace it?
He's about 50 miles inside Virginia on I-81 on his way to the DC area.

That Crazy Canadian by
Dan Marotta
For those of you who use something like Thunderbird to read RAS, I just
created a junk filter so that I never have to see his rants again. It
was as simple as stating the condition: If From conatins the first part
of his email address delete the message. All gone.

Truck vs Car as a tow vehicle by
Chris Behm
I am wondering how often a truck for towing a glider trailer might be an advantage? I have yet to buy my first glider, but of course and thinking that the next vehicle I purchase should be a good one to tow with (Incidentally, thinking of the GMC/Chevy Canyon/Colorado, with the 2.8L inline 4...

Learn to fly in half the time? by
Soartech
DARPA has discovered an interesting and easy way to train pilots in half the time! No doubt this applies to other complex learning tasks as well.

Dittel KRT2 disfunction by
okko kloosterman
Last week, after a few months of proper functioning, the new KRT2 radio
I have installed this spring suddenly stopped transmitting. Pressing the
PTT button makes it send a carrier wave, but without any modulation. The
receiving section is OK, though.
Anyone run into the same problem? Any hints...

Any AC-4/5 “Russia” owners out there? by
Jim M[_2_]
I’m a new owner looking for some tips and tricks. Here’s a couple of questions for starters:
-What breaks first, and how do I fix it before that happens?
-Is there an easy way to replace the main wheel/brake with something better?
-I have two pitot sources, why?
Thanks!
Jim
