Hi All, I'm doing some research for my local club, and one of the things I'd like to determine is how to increase the usage of our "glass" ships (Astir, Apis, and L-33 - yes I know the L-33 is metal). All are kept stored in trailers. These 3 ships (all in great condition) sit in their trailers,...

One of our members is a high school teacher. He worked things out with the school to take a field trip to our gliderport for introductory rides. And, as luck would have it, the day they came out to fly was a spectacular soaring day! How often does that happen? And they even got the story to one...

Does anyone have a manual, or wiring diagram for the Avionic Dittel LX1000 vario. I have one with various wires hanging off it, but some have been cut off. A simple numbered chart for the 15 pin (DB15) plug would be fine. Thanks, Luke

I have a 1983 Komet Standard glass top trailer. The gas strut(s) just went kaput! Anyone out there know the specifications? I'd be very appreciative of the info. TIA -- Hartley Falbaum

Good Day fellow sailplane racers, Unfortunately this is not the email saying I have found a coed volleyball team that will be traveling around to different glider contests to help run wings. Nor is this an email to say I found a new sponsor for soaring contest. I am trying to gain support for...

Dumb beginner question follows: I am just starting out flying gliders.... Here in the USA it seems nobody wears a parachute unless they are contest flying or doing aerobatics. However, I generally do like knowing that I have a backup plan and a parachute seems reasonable. I suppose a history...

If you were pulling up stakes, where would one move to find: 1. The longest soaring season. 2. The best x-c conditions, on average. The OLC would suggest Blairstown, NJ... Any other opinions, with or without objective data? Erik N.

I need a Cambridge 1500 series ball joint mount exactly as shown in http://www.cambridge-aero.com/1500mnt.htm If you have one you no longer need please email me. Thanks

I'm somewhat confused with the functionality of the flarm core in regards to producing flight traces. I was never able to obtain a trace from my Flarm Core Pure. I put the usb drive in, turn it on, wait for the light to settle to green, turn it off, pull the drive - nothing. Updating settings from...

Seems to be a common thing at contests or any other time you are flying something different than what the pilot is use to pulling. How about the next time it happens to you, have your radio call be 'Towplane pulling Glider (Insert your callsign here), please speed up 5 MPH' or some such if you...

Is everybody alright?

I'm going to watch my parachute get repacked this evening. The local Master Rigger is teaching a rigging class and I'm invited to watch him repack my 'chute in front of the class. Can I ask him any questions for r.a.s.? Bill Daniels
