Let me say that I wish all of you a very safe and wonderful Thanksgiving. Don't be ashamed if you must add a bit of weight in the tail to get the cg better after your feast. Take care, may you all be healthy and enjoy this wonderful holiday. Bob

Anyone out there know of a retrofit winglet set for 303s??? Thanks! Nick L

Is there any way to "decouple" the S80? That is, get it to display one Macready setting for speed to fly while showing another (higher) macready setting for required altitude to destination? I don't see a way to do it but hopefully I'm missing something. I like the vario so much my willingness to...

I have the lower cost Chinese wing covers and after 3 days of drizzle they appeared to be somewhat internally saturated, sticking to wing. Not sure how much if any water is getting thru as everything is damp. When the sun finally appeared, the covers seemed to dry fast enough. With all of that I...

Will be flying the Seniors at Clermont in March. To raise funds for the US Team, KS and I will be taking passengers along and sharing the wisdom of a couple of old soaring graybeards. Want to come? - It’s fun. You can email me - my email is on the SSA web site. First come, first served Best...

I've been trying and trying, but with the new captcha, it's more difficult than connecting to a bank website.Â* So I'll just ask my question here and maybe someone from XCSoar will respond: I run XCSoar on a Dell Streak 5.Â* Love it.Â* Can it be upgraded to include an engine noise sensor?Â* The...

Does anyone have an extra Nexus box they'd be willing to part with? Thanks, Mark

After a week of flat skies here in NM, I handed my Stemme over for its annual inspection. So when I looked out the window this morning, what did I see? Why standing lenticular clouds, of course! Oh well... There will be more wave days before spring. -- Dan, 5J

Use your powers for good. Al and Ramy, anybody, could you use your fancy software to look at my traces? You will see me bust 18 once in while but that is because I use a Garmin consumer product. I never go above 17,500 ‘cause I know the thing is a piece of $%^@ but it still happens once in while....

Flew Minden last Wednesday and turned Bishop in 2 hours flat (dry)!!! Love that cruise'n at 16....had a 20 mile blue hole around Bishop, so I climbed to 18 and headed in..............just cleared the ridge on the Sierras, coming out. Thanke to the wind-sock on my new SN10, I knew the prevailing...

Any one know of a app similar to XcSoar for iOS?

Greetings to all you Southern Calif glider pilots (and points North and East) The Southern California Soaring Academy at Crystal is having its Official Opening Ceremonies on Saturday 14 March. This will include a pot-luck dinner after flying hours, as well as a birthday bash for Candace, the...

I have been using charts made my Taylor Blackburn, the daughter of 9B, Andy Blackburn. The best I can say is they work very well in the cockpit and also, for planning purposes while on the ground. These charts come with the contest turnpoints and are laminated to last for several years. Much eaiser...

It's been awhile since I've been in contact with most of the glider community! Hello everyone!! I'll be doing a bit of a complicated move with my own trailers to get ready to enter the Air Force. The result is that I will have an empty hitch starting 8/22 and making the following routes: 1) Saint...

I would like to use a Cambridge vario I have but it does not have the audio box AU... Does anybody have one they would sell? or have a schematic diagram which I could make one? Thank you

About this time last year the gliding world, at least in print, was gaga over the Electric Tarus, and since then there has been total silence. What I read caught my fancy, and a friend in Durango, CO had one on order. But, before his ever came in, he was killed in the crash of a gas-powered...

Hi, I am looking for some sort of portable headset intercom system to talk clearly between front and rear occupant of a glider. This can become quite difficult on aerotow in a fabric glider covered for example. I know there is a Sigtronics type 2 place intercom that I could use to hook up two sets...

My partner in OS recently passed away unexpectedly. In going through his flying items with his wife we found the following two items. Cambridge CAV II Electric Vario, Serial 553. Unknown condition but it looks like new and shows no sign of use. In original box with one flat cable. Volkslogger...

sorry, just a test
