Does anyone know if the plane had a fixed ELT installed?

If you've considering an upgrade to your PDA, I'd still be interested in your Aero and Cambridge PDA mount.

Are there any? Larry 01 "zero one"

If anyone knows where I could find either a complete frame AND plexi canopy for the rear cockpit of a Twin Astir (not Twin II) I'd appreciate the help. Our Canadian Freedoms Wings program for paraplegic pilots is at a standstill as we've broken our rear canopy. Its a frustrating position to be in...

Anyone know of a good source to order the black rubber piece that is part of the Schweitzer tow hook?

I just received a wing wheel for my new glider from MM Fabrication. I did not check for fit yet, but I have to say I am impressed with the build quality. When I was about to make a decision which wing wheel to buy I looked for information here and I did not find much. This is the reason I am...

If you have, I would like to discuss it with you. MarkGrubb(at)aol.com 661.557.0673

Casey, The AOPA is a mixed blessing for glider pilots. It is by far the best aviation advocacy group (perhaps in the world), and they appear to provide beneficial services to individual members. But they advocate selectively. And glider pilots are so far down the list, it would be easier to...

Can anyone with a Cobra trailer made for an ASG-29 please let me know the total length of the trailer (including tongue), and the distance from the wheels to the aft end. Thanks! ~ted/2NO

In a recent thread it was asserted that it was possible to get sport pilot airplane privileges without taking a knowledge test and flight test if the pilot held a private glider rating. For some reason I cannot see that thread. I had doubts that this was true and followed up with AOPA. The text...

I am trying to understand the Club-Class Eligibility List for the USA Sports Class Nationals. There seems to be a club-class eligibility list and a different "Boldface giliders are on the IGC list". The last time I flew in the Sports Class all gliders were allowed. What is the significance of...

Both Pawnees at the local glider club suffer from leaking front crankshaft oil seals. One has had several oil seal changes and the problem is not cured, the other started leaking within a few hundred hours of a major overhaul. One is in original fixed prop configuration and the other was...

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...

Check this out. Does it mean we might actually have capable electric self-launchers in the near future? http://www.bangstyle.com/2012/03/envia-batteries-electric-cars/
