I recently purchased a hook knife to use while paragliding but I also intend to carry it when wearing my parachute in the sailplane. This will allow a chance of cutting free from the parachute after landing in extreme conditions. Some hook knives are better than others and I have learned that the...

On my 1979 Komet trailer with Peitz brakes, the two cylindrical adjuster components that the brake shoes mount onto have substantial wear. The wear only occurred on one wheel. I contacted Entec but he doesn't think new parts are available. Does anyone have a set, new or used, that they would be...

Does anybody have a clue where I could get a "Whiz Wheel" for a Standard Class (ASW 19)? I can't believe that everybody has absolute faith in the reliability of their electronic glide computers.

I just replaced the gas springs/struts for my trailer with ones from EasySprings of North America. They were very helpful. If they do not have what you need on the shelf, they will custom make them to your specifications. Fortunately I was able to read the label on my old struts (900N) so with a...

I am considering an upgrade of my lap top computer. I am operating a LX 7000 and Cambridge GPS NAV in the glider. I am also using Seeyou. I would like a screen that is more visable in the sun. I am also concerned with the serial interface with the two flight computers and turning in data logs...

When Kent and I arrived in Marfa Saturday, we were greeted with a blazing sun, higher than usual humidity, and NO wind. At 11:30 AM cu's were already forming over the mountains. By 1:00 there were clear signs thar it would probably overdevelop, but there was a high cloud street leading toward Van...
