Is anyone using a NAVMAN 3450 sleeve GPS with Winpilot or any other Nav program? If so, any issues?

I am using it with an Ipaq 3955 and CE Glide. Since they kindly modified the program to accept the NAVMAN's unusual data rate, it has worked just fine. The 57600 baud rate has prevented me from using Glide Navigator II. I have not tried WinPilot. Mike

Does anybody know if the Navman GPS sleeves for an Ipaq 3600 is still available, and if so, where

Has anyone used the Navman PiN 570 - PDA/Navigation Portable Handheld Device in a glider with PDA navigation software? These have now dropped below $250 in the US and may be a better deal than a used iPAQ now. It comes with a built in GPS, cradle and gooseneck. It runs WM2003 and has a 266 MHz ARM...

This is my initial evaluation of the Navman PiN for use in a glider as an integrated flight computer system. The reason for this evaluation is my desire to find a self contained flight computer for the SparrowHawk I have on order. By self contained I mean with an internal battery suitable for...

is anyone tracking the NabvWorks ADS-600B? they claim to offer a single box that complies with the 2020 mandate for certified aircraft, starting at 1,999 + install. there an STC for lots of GA aircraft, but no gliders (yet). http://www.navworx.com/ADS600BDescription.php let the flame war...

It looks like the low cost ADS-B UAT logjam has been broken: http://www.aopa.org/advocacy/articles/2010/100721navworx.html?WT.mc_id=100723epilot&WT.mc_sect=gan While the price is somewhat higher than I would like to see, it's competitive with buying a transponder coupled with a Zaon PCAS XRX. ...

We have had interest in a Wave Camp in the southeast this winter. The tentative dates are February 20th through the 28th. We will base at Shiflet Field (9A9) at Marion, NC. Marion is approximately 30 miles east of Asheville, NC on I40. It's just southeast of Mt. Mitchell and is close to the primary...

I uploaded some pictures from this year's great wave adventures in North Carolina in the lee of Mt Mitchell... http://www.ssa.org/PhotoGallery.asp The Lennies are showing in the sunrise. The vario is pegged at 15.7knots. The ladies are climbing through FL180. The Views are great.

Anyone from North Carolina, South Carolina, or Virginia driving to Memphis for the SSA Convention? If so, could you bring a package back for me? Contact me at: Thanks, Ray Lovinggood

Let me tell you where I'm coming from on this gate issue. I was CD'ing one of the Montague nationals and we were using the finish line. The only practical location for the line was the edge of the X'ed-off runway, but there were several competitors tied down there (read cars, wives & kids) One of...

This past Saturday my flight out of Estrella took me about 10 miles NW of Tuscon class C at 11,200 ft with my Trig transponder on and blinking replies to radar. I was northbound at 90 - 100 kts. I observed an ADS-B target on my PowerFlarm display and on ClearNav display coming directly on a...

In the Orange County Soaring Association newsletter Zero Sink First Quarter 2010 there is a good article on a near mid-air. A couple of things jumped out at me as I was reading the Article. 1. The towplane involved in the near mid-air did not have a radio! 2. The tow path apparently was in the...

Skip the ad when you can to get to the video - looks like Grant County International Airport, near Moses Lake, Washington. http://www.wsj.com/video/near-vertical-takeoff-in-preparation-for-paris-air-show/80AE2BE2-7C7A-4C78-81B7-70DDBA8F2F54.html

Hi, Today I released a new Soaring Product Training video: - Naviter - SeeYou.Cloud - Viewing 2 Flights at Once / "Near-Miss Over Albert Lea Airport" - The Naviter SeeYou.Cloud is used to view 2 flight logs at the same time in 3D. FLARM traffic alert products are also discussed. -...

I am 13 years old and I want to learn to fly a glider. The one problem is that the nearest gliding school near me is 1 hr and 40 minutes away and this is way too far. I was wondering if there was a way around this. I have looked for different places but they are all too far. FYI I live in eastern...

The Transponder chatter on other threads got me to thinking about who’s got the closest near-miss? Thought I’d kick it off with my incident over 40 years ago. I was flying my homebuilt wooden sailplane over Mono Lake, Ca. Cursing south at 16000’ and 60 knots when I spotted a 4 engine jet...

A lousy end to what was a beautiful day of soaring, thanks to the USMC and my own lack of vigilance. Yesterday a cold front was bearing down on Phoenix. While in other parts of the country this makes for winter worries, here the front is a small band of cumulus and a very slight chance of virga....

I just came across this video, and thought the rest of you would enjoy it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AP3JNqvfvV0 The TG-6 is based at the Wester Antique airplane and Automobile Museum in hood, OR http://www.waaamuseum.org/index.html

This is worth a look. Most of it is nice aurora shots, but at around 1:45 there are wave bars with lennies in front of a nice bright aurora. http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap101124.html -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |
