DG's new requirements for older DG ships by
Bernie[_3_]
I'm wondering what other owners of older DG ships think of DG's
requirement to pay a fee upfront in order to purchase parts and
software to maintain their gliders.
I own a DG 202/17.

Overstuffed panels by
Bill D
This is in response to threads on FLARM and Mirasol displays which I
think relate in a general way.
If you back up 100 meters and think outside the box, we've been facing
restricted panel space for a long time. FLARM is just the latest
gadget but it may be the proverbial "straw".
A solution has...

Radio base stations by
Eric Greenwell[_4_]
I used a Tentec radio as a base station and crew radio for many years.
It worked well at home and in our various motorhomes, my wife liked it,
but it got old (25 years) and got cranky. I replaced with with an iCom
A6, but my wife doesn't like it because it is not nearly as noise and...

Ugh. Flight trace didn't download off FLARM brick by
Kurt Thams
After a sweet flight, I get home to discover that the flight trace did not copy onto the USB stick.
Do I need to bring a computer with me to the airport to check each time before I leave the glider that the trace made it?

Aileron "tuning" or "trimming" by
[email protected]
Hi all,
I have a PW-5 that requires side pressure on the stick at all times to correct a tendency to bank to the right. More pronounced at higher speeds, of course. Wing tape helps a little but doesn't eliminate it. But there is a visible tiny difference in aileron position from one side to the...

HELP. I need a TRUE story for television by Monday by
John Shelton
Fellow soarists,
I did not make myself clear. My apologies.
The production company is not making a slasher flick. It is trying to find
EXPEDITIONS with an element of danger that might include a survival segment.
In soaring, we have plenty of possible danger. These guys are seeking
expeditions....

Olancha, CA Landing Strip -- Worsening Condition by
Steve Pawling
I drove by the Olancha strip last week and found that it is in even
worse condition than the last time I saw it. Brush is starting to get
sizable on the "cleared" landing area. The strip was already marginal
even for 15M but the brush encroaching on the open area almost
guarantees a ground loop. If...

Soaring in "western" Canada? by
André Somers
Hi,
I'm planning a trip to Canada for may and/or june this year. I plan to visit
roughly the region west and North of Edmonton, say between Yellowknife and
Vancouver :-)
Does anyone know if there are any soaring operations that would give me an
opportunity to fly there? Is there a thing like a map...

Two very fun students by
Bill Daniels
This week I had the pleasure to fly with a couple of freshly minted 2nd
Lt.'s from the US Air Force Academy class of 2006. They were converting
their glider time from the USAFA soaring program to civilian CFIG's.
To say this young lady and gentleman are "good sticks" would be an
understatement. ...
