Labelle control surface weights by
Martin Eiler
I have a Labelle in the shop that has had the ailerons refinished without
having been removed from the glider.
Which meant that the surfaces could not have been weighed nor mass balance
checked. Additionally the
AD 97-03-02 requiring weighing and mass balance checks has never been
completed.
I...

Finding vent hole in wing skin by
Martin Eiler
We have a Lak 17 in the shop and have found that water cannot
be put into the left wing. It appears that during some previous
repair, apparently the shop glassed and refinished over the vent
hole in the underside of the wing. The problem now is how to
find the exact spot to drill in order to open...

Silver Peak NV by

If the land out site, Silver Peak NV at N37*45.720 W117*37.802 is
shown in your data base as a dry lake. You may want to look at Google
Earth and note that there is an X’d off N/S soft dirt runway there with
the
Southern third being land able with 75 ft by 2000 ft available. The strip

It is thanks to the many hundreds of hours of research, investigation and
dedication by the California City Glider Pilots Action Group and the

of Caltrans re-permitting Cal City Airport to return to the safe, sane...

EW model D and Linux by
Martin Gregorie
Has anybody written a Linux downloader for the EW model D or, for that
matter, a log file viewer?
Failing that, has anybody got either type of program to run under Linux
using WINE or DOSemu? I assume that these programs will run in Win4Lin
or VMware, though I understand there could be serial...

Libelle Camelbak stowage by
Martin Gregorie
A long while back somebody (Ian Molesworth?) mentioned "lashing a
Camelbak under the beam supporting the stick" in a Standard Libelle.
With the season visible on the horizon I'm wondering how he did that.
There's obviously sufficient space available under the beam and little
chance of fouling...

ICOM battery replacement question by
Martin Gregorie
I have a hand held ICOM IC-A3E with a throughly dead battery pack.
In the past I've revived similar packs (e.g. on an HP-25 calculator) by
cracking into the plastic shell of the pack and replacing the cells,
which are usually AA size NiCds. Doing this is normally vastly less
expensive than...

Low towing thought by
Martin Gregorie
I did annual checks about a month ago, when we were encouraged to try
low position on the way up for spin checks. I decided that I like low
tow and will use it in future, but before I do so there's one thing I'd
like to ask the Aussies and other habitual low towers: when you release
do you just...

Standard Libelle Pilot's Operational Handbook by
Martin Gregorie
Can anybody tell me where I could get an English language copy for an
H.201?
Either electronic or paper would be fine.
I'd prefer a source in the UK or continental Europe.
http://www.streifly.de/ sells an AD list but doesn't mention the POH.

GPS active antennas by
Martin Gregorie
For some reason there seems to be a rash of new third party active
flat antennas going cheap on eBay right now. Prices are around GBP
24.00 while retail prices range upward from GBP 35 or so.
I just bought one for my GPS II+, fitted it and flew it yesterday.
Works fine and is definitely giving a...

Forthcoming BBC Radio program by
Martin Gregorie
Those of you who can (but don't) listen to BBC Radio 4 may be
interested to know that there's a program, "The White Stuff", on
Monday 17 May about clouds. It may be good, it may be terrible. Who
knows? But now you know about it.

I'm looking for information about preferred makes, costs and agents
and/or websites for oxygen systems in New Zealand that are

IPAQ 3630 question by
Martin Gregorie
I recently bought an IPAQ 3630 off eBay. I'm happy with it but its
battery is definitely on the way out.
Judging by the number of replacement batteries advertised on eBay it
is possible to replace it if you know what you're doing; I don't but
am willing to learn, so my question is:
- is there a...

Moving map query by

Has anybody used SoaringPilot on a Palm m100?
If so:
