Wing wheel from Craggy Aero by
2G
I wanted to replace the Cobra wing wheel I had been using because 1) it goes with the ASH26e I have for sale and 2) the tire scrubs the tarmac as I go around turns, putting stress on the wing. I ordered the CA WingWheel from Craggy Aero because the wheel swivels with the direction of...

Brave Sir Robin by
Gliderphud
Bravely bold Sir Robin
Rode forth from Camelot
He was not afraid to die
Oh Brave Sir Robin
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways
Brave, Brave, Brave Brave Sir Robin.
He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp
Or to have his eyes gouged out, and his elbows...

SAFETY ALERT by
JJ Sinclair[_2_]
I regularly get safety alerts (bulletins, notices) from the FAA and
AOPA, but I never get one from the SSA. I went digging to see if the
SSA had a similar program. I went to SSA home page, then to SSA
Partners..........Hmm, safety isn't a primary concern of the SSA and
is relegated to a soaring...

Schweizer 1-35 and other flapped sailplanes by
Jack
I've seen several remarks lately in Soaring Magazine and on my home
club's internet forum about the characteristics of this particular
sailplane. Though not directly bashing this ship, comments made seem to
imply that it's a difficult or dangerous sailplane to fly. I think
that's wrong. Some of...

News Flash: You don't need elevator control ! by
nowhere
Yes, according to Peter Garrison's "Aftermath" column in the November
issue of "Flying" you don't need to connect your elevator control! I
quote: "the NTSB report does not comment on the fact that a
disconnected elevator does not make an ASW-20, or for that matter any
other airplane, unflyable. The...

SLA batteries opinions? by
john firth
Recently I tested two 12v SLA s which had been in use
sequentially for some years usually recharged before going
going flat, or at least within one day.
Both were run down to 10.5 v with a 10 ohm load and then recharged to 14v,
The Yuasa 7 AH bought 2005 was good for about 2.5 AH

Magnus Effect by
COLIN LAMB
If a wing is replaced by a rotating cylinder, with the forward surface
rotating upward, lift will be produced. The local air velocity is high on
top and low on the bottom. This upward force is known as magnus effect.
The information above comes from my helicopter handbook. The theory is used

Flat Spin by
JJ Sinclair
I'm surprised this spin thread hasn't produced more discussion of the flat
spin. One poster told us about getting into a flat spin after several
revolutions of a "normal" spin" at Minden when the Puch went flat (nose on
horizon). The poster thought it was kind of thrilling, until he applied...
