Bob Caldwell
Hello Pilots,
I have a sailplane for sale and have listed it on all
the usual sites. I just received an offer (barely

of by the fellow pilots on this site.
It basically offers to pay my full offering price plus
shipping. I am to keep the...

Motor Glider clean up by
Bob Caldwell
Hi Pilots,
What is the best cleaning product(s) for cleaning up the tailplane and areas behind the engine after operation? I need something that cuts grease and oil better than Wx Block I but will be kind to the gelcoat. What combination of cleaners and conditioners work best? ...

TE compensation and vario response times by
Bob Caldwell
Hello Pilots,
Seeing the question about CAI 302 tones prompts an issue I have with my 302. I have a relatively new V2C. It has a 302 and an LX 16 electronic vario for back up. I am running both off the TE probe in the fin. I had the 302 response times for both audio and pointer set relatively...

Xponder installation for a V2cxT by
Bob Caldwell
Hi Folks,
I am about to install a xponder. I have read Eric's paper on the subject but still have a couple of questions specific to my ship.
1) Antenna type and mounting location? Coax routing to the antenna? I have heard some SH gliders mount the antenna under the glare shield but I would...

Glider specific transponder codes by
Bob Caldwell
Hi Pilots,
=20
If any Minden area pilots are familiar with the procedures followed to
secure your glider specific XPDR code please contact me. I would like
to see a similar specific code for the Front Range of the Rockies. I
haven't a clue where to start the process.

Sealing an ASW 28 canopy by
Bob Caldwell
After seeing the thread about the PIK canopies I wanted
to ask if anyone had taken any extra ordinary steps
to seal an ASW canopy. To date all I have done is
to put some sticky back foam at the front near the
demist vent. It is pretty good but I suspect it can
be better. I have heard that it...

Flight Analysis by
Bob Caldwell (BC)
Hi Pilots,
I usually do analysis on my flights and those of other pilots I flew with to try understand what I did right or wrong and what I can learn from pilots better than me. A recent flight on OLC showed that I circled 15.5% of the time at an average of 3.3m/s (about 6.4 kts). Opening the...

LX Question by
Bob Caldwell (BC)
Hi Pilots,
I am looking for some understanding about an issue with my relatively new LX 9000. I have the map settings to be Track Up in cruise and North Up while circling just like I have done with previous instruments. The problem I am experiencing is that when pulling out of a circle and going...

Phishing Emails by
Bob Caldwell (BC)
Hi pilots,
I know we have been warned before about this but here is another warning. I have a glider listed on W&W and am getting emails like the following. The bad grammar should be a tip off, of course, kind of like my distant relative who won the lottery in Nigeria. Don't fall for it....
