First Glider LS4 by
Jeff Runciman
Thank you again for your advise. Any more thoughts
on the LS4? Any concerns with the age? What should
I pay for one? And are there any flying groups for
the LS4? Thank you again and I hope I can contribute
to the group as I go along.

sunlight readable iphone by

Does anyone have any data on whether the iPhone X OLED screen will be more sunlight readable than previous iPhones? The brightness spec looks the same (625cd/m2), but I see no data on the screen reflectance.

Blanik L-13 by
Boise Pilot
Like about 300 US Blanik L-13 sailplane owners, I have a ship that will probably never fly again. Just trying to find out what other owners are doing with their hangar queens. I know of one where the owners took it apart, separating the aluminum from the steel for sale to metal recyclers. From...

tso altimeter by
Phoenixmotoman
I want to install a Winter 4FGH 40 altimeter with an EASA Form 1
certificate in my S-LSA motorglider with the Becker TSO'd
transponder. My avionics shop says that the altimeter must be TSO'd
as well. Can anyone cite FAA regulations about this issue? Any
information would be welcome.

noel.wade
Hi All,
Assuming a budget of under $30k, I'm looking at upgrading my Russia
AC-4. She's an excellent ship and I could do a whole lot more with
her... But with our weak conditions locally, I find myself itching for

(currently...

Recommended Handheld Transceiver? by
chasers03
Does anyone have a strong recommendation for a good handheld radio/
transceiver for me to use as a backup? I don't need ILS/Nav aides.

Silver Badge Fun (?) by
Mark Zivley
I think badges do serve a useful purpose to soaring, but I'm guessing
that Al's comment is more geared toward the paperwork, documentation
side of badges rather than the benefit that having a structured seat of

Matthieu
Dear expert soaring pilots,
What would be a nice metal equivalent of the KA6E or Foka 4?
I am asking because those ships are 40+ years old now and I am
concerned about the aging wood... Should I be concerned?
Is there any relevant metal alternative to those ships? I would also be
interested in...
