Aileron "fences" for ASW-28 by
soaringjac
Where would one buy these fences? I was told they are aftermarket mods, but it seems like every ASW-28 has them installed. Where can they be purchased from? I contacted Schleicher but so far have not gotten any response.

replacement instruments by
Phoenix
I'm yanking my Lnav / GPSnav from my panel and am installing a CN2 on a RAM. I'd like to fill some of the holes with something that is moderately inexpensive yet will complement the CN2. Remaining a Sage CVA, airspeed, alt.
Any ideas?

BRSS Boomerang Trophy Update by

The Boomerang has been at Front Royal, VA for nearly two years, but was retrieved by Chris Zaboji (pronounced Zah-BOY-ee). Chris performed the cross-country glider flight of 144 statute miles in about 4 and a half hours over some pretty...

Newby questions about the GLASFLUGEL H 201 STANDARD LIBELLE by
LoftusRoadLad
New to gliding (won't say "soaring" since I haven't been accused of doing much of that) and was interested in buying a forgiving starter glider. I've flown the 1-26 extensively but would like a bit more performance--feel like I'm stuck at the field.
I've seen the 201 on Wings and Wheels. I've read...

Polar for 304C? by
Moshe Braner
Does anybody have a polar for the HPH 304C - the model with 15m
unflapped wings? Either a graph or just some numbers will do. The
"Glasflugel 304" polar built into XCsoar (span not specified) seems
wrong (STF too high, much higher than, e.g., LS4). The "304CZ" built-in
polar also calls for a...

Wanted PW-5 instrument panel by
Mark Zivley[_3_]
Greetings,
Looking for the top part of a PW-5 instrument panel. Don't need the pedestal base. Want to make some changes to mine, but would rather cut new holes in a "spare" panel.
Thanks,
Mark

Oudie/Flarm alarm from my own ADS-B/Transponder by
Richard Livingston[_2_]
I recently installed a Trig TT22 transponder in our LS6. Today I got to fly it for the first time and I was getting constant conflict alarms on my Oudie about traffic at (for e.g.) my "6 O'Clock and 35ft above me" The only way I could figure out how to silence these alarms was to set my...

Golf Cart Starter Burn Out by
George Haeh
We replaced the starter last September and the new one died last weekend.
It's covered by warranty, but the technician says the brushes were worn out and it was abused.
Is there something we should, or should not, be doing when pulling gliders with a golf cart?

Are areas of sink modeled well in Condor2? by
Charles Ethridge
Question for those of you who fly with Oudie and Condor2:
While sink near thermals seem to be modeled well in Condor2, some people in our club do not think that Condor models areas of sink outside of thermals (between clouds) very well.
In other words, when they fly cross-country in real life...

Flarm Target direction by
Anton Lawrence
Earlier in the year I had a close call, the Flarm was going off with multiple targets most of which I could visually identify. One I did not see, we both had to turn sharply left to avoid a straight on collision.
Apparently Flarm calculates the potential collision taking into account all...

Glider Purchase Procedure - Annual & Pre Purchase Inspection? by
NMD
Hello,
I am closing in on my first glider purchase and have narrowed it down to three.
What is a safe purchase procedure for an older glider? Two are LS3's and one is an LS3A. All have been refinished in PU.
Is a new annual sufficient or it is advisable to have a pre-purchase inspection as...
