Eberle trailer wheel rims by Bob
Hi I own an Eberle clamshell trailer. I have no spare wheel, and am in search of one. I have visited at least four local tire shops where I live (in Canada) with no luck. I know the trailers are of European manufacture, and the bolt pattern may be metric. Canada uses the metric system, but...

Eberle Trailer without Spring Assist by Bob
I just acquired an Eberle trailer without the spring and or strut lift assist add on that most have. If anyone has experience with this maybe you can give me some ideas on how you open and drop the support rods when alone. No problem when someone else is around, I lift, they drop the rods. Lifting...

Electric Tarus - super bird or gliding's 787? by Bob
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...

Deadly week by Bob
It appears the last weekend was pretty deadly for gliding in the west. We had a gas-powered Tarus go in north of Durango, killing its pilot, and reading other reports, there was reported a 2-32 somewhere else in Colorado involved in a fatal during a check ride, and a guy reported to be flying...

"Jetman" considered by FAA to be a "glider" by Bob
Another "jet" in the news today in Arizona. Yves Rossy, the Swiss guy who has small wings with jets attached to his back, who drops out of a helicopter, starts the engines and flies around using his body and arms for control, and then lands under parachute, had planned a "flight" over the Grand...

First Day of Winter by Bob
Today, being the first day of Winter, the Tucson NOAA site's soaring forecast for Tucson sure looks chilly. http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/twc/aviation/PHXWRKSRG.php Check out the first useable lift temp! One might say it will be a cold day in hell if any soaring takes place.... Forget the bug wipers,...

Libelle 201 Trailer Fixtures by Bob
I am looking for a fuselage dolly and the fixture that captures the nose of the glider from an eberle trailer. Does anyone have or know of salvageable rigging from a possibly non salvageable trailer? I am in Florida so only stateside makes any sense. Thanks, Bob

Vintage Home Gliding Movie(s) by Bob
One of our Texas Soaring Association (TSA) members, Dave White, discovered a VHS tape in a dusty old drawer at TSA made by June Wiberg who compiled and narrated all of her old glider days home movies from the 40's to the early 60's and sent it to TSA. June was the wife of Wally Wiberg, who owned a...

Near mid-air by Bob
In the Orange County Soaring Association newsletter Zero Sink First Quarter 2010 there is a good article on a near mid-air. A couple of things jumped out at me as I was reading the Article. 1. The towplane involved in the near mid-air did not have a radio! 2. The tow path apparently was in the...

PowerFlarm flight declaration by Bob 7U
I have taken a brief look at the information concerning the PowerFlarm and I still seem unable to find out how you make a flight declaration. The 'brick' version will have a remote USB port that reads a memory stick but will there be a way to enter a task using a PDA for example? Will you be able...
