I am going retro and going back to a 3950 from my 4700, looking for a mount for the 3900 if you have one on the shelf. Thanks, Tim

How soon will WinPilot and SeeYou Mobile (or XCSoar) run on Android? I will buy one of the 7" Tablets when they add the Pixel Qi screen. http://www.gottabemobile.com/2010/09/20/pixel-qi-promises-7-inch-screens/

Does anyone have a source for the flight history of Blanik L-13 OE-0935 that was involved in the wing failure? Total hours, take-off/ landings, aerobatics, and winch launch history?

I am looking for the equations to determine the speed to fly for a headwind or tailwind. I can calculate the the speed to fly for no wind based on the polar from Equation V (Page 106, 1988 US Version) in Reichmann. He gives a graphical method to determine the speeds for a headwind or tailwind but...

My hip daughter (no it does not rub off on her father) pointed out the ad in the latest Vanity Fair (June 2010). http://www.azzaroparis.com/news/blog/52/2010-new-adventure-for-chrome-s-corporate-image I did a search and found a video as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZKD5TE3tHI

Just went to post a flight on OLC and I am too late only two days after the flight. When did the rules change from three days to Tuesday at midnight? If you fly on Monday or Tuesday you must submit by midnight on Tuesday or not get scored, Very unreasonable change to the system. TT

I am looking for an article from Soaring Magazine that discussed the differences between new pilots and experienced pilots. It covered an analysis of percentage of time the pilots spent flying versus flight planning, etc. I can't remember the title or author so any help would be appreciated. ...

On a recent flight on December 15th I had an interesting experience with our local Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) group at Salt Lake City. I was on the final leg of a 500K ridge flight that took me through the 30nm Mode C veil several times. I monitor Approach Control frequencies and...

I need help with getting a Colibri logger to communicate with an IPAQ. I can get the Colibri to send data to the IPAQ to work with WinPilot and I can get WinPilot to send a declaration to the Colibri, but I can not get any software to work to allow me to download a flight from the Colibri to the...

I am looking for some feedback from those that have used both in a racing environment. I have raced with WinPilot for the last 5 years and am looking at possibly changing to SeeYou Mobile and wanted to get feedback from those that have flown with both. I currently have a Cambridge 302 as the...

I am getting ready to replace the panel in my Ventus B. Are there any standard materials (especially the core) and recommended glass and core thickness used to layup a new one? This is a fixed panel, does not pop up when the canopy is opened. I was thinking of using a 1/16" to 1/8" core of...

I will move this out of the "Stay in, or get out?" thread for clarity. I have long thought about helmets for several reasons. I will state up front that I have not had access to the accident reports/pictures and autopsy reports of several of the accidents that I have seen over the last 25 years,...
