Puchaz spin count 23 and counting by
henell
Bill Daniels said,
*Rather than blame the glider, I would point the finger at training
that doesnt equip pilots with the skills needed to fly these gliders*
I tend to agree. Have umpteen hours in Puchii. I have always found them
very predictable if flown within C of G limits. Have never had...

SZD-56-2 Diana by

Hi Michel,
Concerning the pricing, it is obvious that a Ferrari performance can
not be sold with a Fiat price.
For details you should take a look on the site of US-dealer of Diana,

Dittel ATR 720 by
John C
Does anyone have an English manual for this model radio? Apparently the
manufacturer (Avionic Dittel - not Walter Dittel) is out of business
and Tim at W&W does not happen to have one.
Thanks,
John

Skysight integration in XCSoar by
Bogdan Manoiu
Hi everybody,
Does anyone know if any progress had been made in the functionality to show Skysight WX on XCSoar (in a similar way to how Skysight WX can be displayed on a LX9000)?
That would make an extremely useful improvement.
Thanks,
Bogdan

We need an ASW-19 rebirth for $25,000 by
[email protected]
What we need in soaring is a new glider built for a reasonable price. $150,000 for a new glider is just not even a consideration for most people. Let's face it, you can get a low mileage Ferrari for half that price!
The PW-5 was a terrible failure. The engineers made the wingspan too short,...

Flying with Parachutes by
John Huthmaker
I'm just starting out with soaring. Simple question for you guys. How many of you fly with an emergency parachute? It looks like they cost around $2000 online. Pretty steep price; although the cost is insignificant if it saves your life. Is this something I should be looking to purchase?
