Want to be inside the cockpit flying when on a zoom call? You can use this background of my Astir (I know). You can always make your own for your glider. Makes it look like you are in the cockpit flying during the video conference call....

I am working through and investigating a leaking TE line in my ship. Leak tested the TE line and it seem to be wide open. Still have some more testing to do but as of now my feeling is the leak is in the fin and completely inaccessible. I think its leaking at the back of the TE port in the fin. I...

Anyone have any experience with accessing the TE/Pitot line connections in the fin of an Astir CS? Is there anyway to peek at the TE/Pitot lines where the plug into the ports at the back of the tube/ports in the fin? I want to see if the TE line is still attached to the back of the TE prob but...

Just started using seeyou for the first time. I created some waypoints in seeyou and noticed the altitude shown for some of the waypoints are way off. I double checked the exact same point in Google earth and the difference is about 1000'. This isn't the case for all custom waypoints I made, but it...

Does anyone have a photo they can post showing how the ballast weights get installed in the nose of the Astir CS? I just see two holes up there but not exactly sure what’s needed to install weights and how it should be setup

Any recommendations on what to use to fill small holes in an aluminum panel?

I am looking to freshen up the interior of an old Grob 102. Mainly just want to put a new coat of paint on the interior walls of the cockpit. Any recommendations for paint I should be using?

Where does one get those "doughnuts" that you put over instrument tubing to help secure and seal the connection?

Anyone know what fuse rating i would need for an old Edo-Aire RT-551 radio. Its marked inop now but i still want to replace the fuse in the panel for it

Might be a dumb question, but can you just purchase any old TE prob and throw it in your glider or does it have to be calibrated to your specific glider?

Anyone know the type, size, and where to get replacement pad for the brakes?

Can you swap out the levers on Tost hooks? For example taking a standard lever off and replace it with a short lever. Or taking a short lever off and putting it on a hook with no lever

Anyone know which nose Tost Hook model is in the Grob 102 Astir CS?

I have seen pictures of some very nice interiors on older ships. Where does one purchase new seat pads, interior fabrics, new panel faces, and all that kind of stuff. Mainly looking for upgrades for a Grob 102. How are most people upgrading or refreshing their interiors?

This new camera was recently announced. For those interested in making video recording of their flight from either inside or outside the cockpit, this might be the perfect option. Certainly worth checking out. The only bad news is that it will probably take some time to get your hands on...

I have a Cambridge LNAV and I want to replace my LX400, which is currently being used purely as a GPS receiver, with something else to provide a GPS feed to the LNAV, preferably without taking up a space on my instrument panel. Any suggestions?
