This is to announce that in response to requests from hundreds of you, the dynamic turnpoint file generator on my website now supports the STX format used by ClearNav. OK, maybe it wasn't hundreds, but several of you asked for it. Using my turnpoint file generator, you can upload a file...

For all you ILEC fans (and I know you are out there), I am pleased to announce that SoaringData.info now offers enhanced support for the venerable SN-10: - Nadler database (NDB) files are now supported as an input format. This means that you can easily update all US airport information contained...

Hello All, It is Spring again, and if you haven't done so in awhile it would be a great time to update the airspace and airport databases in your glide computer, PNA, handheld GPS, or desktop planning software in preparation for the upcoming US season. The FAA data for the charting cycle...

US airspace maps that work with certain Garmin (R) outdoor recreation- type GPS receivers are now available on my website at http://www.soaringdata.info. If you use MapSource (R) to load maps on your GPS or if you can copy an image file directly to it via a USB connection, you can probably use...

The US airspace update for the charting period effective November 18, 2010 is available on the airspace area of the Worldwide Soaring Turnpoint Exchange, and on my website at http://www.soaringdata.info. Airport data for the same period is also available on my website. I have also made a couple of...

I'd like to know if any long-timer user of these instruments has good data on the performance difference(s) between using the TE tube and the Electronic TE compensation, and if so, what you personally recommend. (I seem to recall that the Cambridge 302 had a similar setup option, and that the...

I have an ICOM IC-A110 radio that I'm going to be using alternately in my Honda Pilot, where the magnetic roof mount antenna that came with it is installed, and a motorhome, where I want to mount a new external antenna. Can anyone who has done this before offer any suggestions on specific parts and...

This glider only has 140 hours on it and looks pretty much new. BPB-06 glider trailer. Avionics: V7, B-40, Microair M760 radio, Oudie mount, flap ring for winter airspeed (not installed) Options/parts: Optional headrest, spare rudder Equipment: 2 wing wheels

I'm growing weary of my PowerSonic (PoS) batteries crapping out a few minutes after their 1 year warranty expries. Are Werker batteries any better? ... or are they essentially the same? The salesman at Batteries Plus said they pretty much stopped selling PS because they were having quality...

Since installing my PowerFlarm Core I've had a frustrating problem with my LX7007: it goes into "in flight" mode when sitting still on the ground, leaving me unable to access flight logs, update flight info, or do any transfers. I basically have to baby-sit the logger, wait for it to believe it's...

I can't find any recent discussions on FlarmNet, which is plugged in the Butterfly display manual. Are most USA PF users registering on FlarmNet.org? How is the .bnf file installed? Is it used by the BF display, or by the PF core? Most importantly will it make me fly faster???

Please see http://www.ebay.com/itm/271190633192?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 (If that link doesn't work, look for eBay item 271190633192) If I don't get the reserve price on the auction I will put it back on the soaring classifieds at $850 obo.

I had a pair of seemingly disjoint flight data problems through Saturday and I’m curious whether their absence on Sunday had them connected in some way. My setup: LX7007 Pro IGC (ver 2.01) providing NMEA and LXWP* sentences to an Oudie (SeeYou Mobile, latest version). I use the LX for general task...

No answers from the contacts at their web page (not a good sign), so I'll try here. (1) Do I understand that a trial/demo version is not available? (I have to fully risk my kids' college fund first to see if I like it?) (2) Can the NMEA stream to a real, external PDA/PNA/Oudie optionally include...

I'm looking for a saved stream of GPS+FLARM data, as it would be output by a K6 Mux when attached to an LX7007 and FLARM. I would like to use this file as input to my Oudie as described in section 7.14 of the SYM manual (http://download.naviter.com/docs/SeeYou_Mobile.pdf). (Note that this is NOT...

I am going to wave my white "not a hardware guy" flag again here (while ducking). If the (main) FLARM antenna is mounted on a tin or aluminum surface (specifically, a short length of 0.5 by 0.1 inch of what is tin, aluminum, or some other light metal), will it interfere with the antenna's...

"Buy it now" for $750. Will place on ebay with much lower reserve in a few days if not sold by then. The whip antenna includes a magentic base for metal topped vehicles. ~ted/2NO (collecting scratch for an Oudie, one used item at a time ...)

Two years young, GPS antenna and old cables, original box, works great. No longer needed thanks to my PowerFLARM. ~ted/2NO (tedcwagner ... gmail ...)

I'm finally getting around to installing my PowerFLARM (brick) and I need some help getting pointed in the right direction. I have an LX7007 Pro IGC, but my unit does *not* have the RJ45 receptacle on the back where it says "FLARM". I have an HP4700x PDA that I plan to replace with an Oudie...
