"Bob Kuykendall" wrote Today, Brad Hill fitted both wings to his HP-24 fuselage to see how they fit. They fit fine and look great! We still haven't drilled the main pin bores or installed the bushings, but it's looking pretty good just the same. Pretty good is an...

Does anyone have a clean copy of the "allowable mass" loading placard that is found on page 14 of the flight manual? My POH is not clean enough to permit a scan and print of the placard. Thanks, Mike

The link below produces Nick Goodhart's essay on the marvels of Sigma, a Britsh effort to make a world beater; this was before it flew! It failed probably due to excessive mechanical complexity and the high pilot work load. also the complicated extending flap proved difficult to implement and...

Where can I get a battery for an Oudie? Thanks, 5U

Thank you to all who have offered me help with setting up Thunderbird as a reader for rec.aviation.soaring. In spite of the help I have not been able to figure out how to set it up. I don't mind really. Google Groups is good enough for me.

AOPA offers insurance for $200/pa on a C150 doing 80 hrs/yr. How much does a glider cost to insure? Brian W

Greetings! It's the beginning of our soaring season here in Australia - and thought I'd start a checklist for setting a Pocket-PC before (and after) use with navigation. During the week my Pocket-PC is an invaluable work tool - but some of it's 'features' are nuisances in flight! Anyone out there...

I have an Oculus Rift S that I bought this summer for Condor use. Unfortunately I discovered that I suffer from acute motion sickness in VR. I understand that most people don't have this reaction, so I suppose I am just unlucky. I'd like to offer this headset up to other soaring pilots who would...

Got a Cessna 206 that emits a steady tone during transmission only. The pitch increases with rpm to a point where ATC refuses service. No tone is emitted on battery power only (Alt. off). No problem yesterday, problem today. Noise remains with audio panel on/off, using L/R trans switch, speaker...

Ive listed a roll of 1.6 oz glider fabric on Ebay. This fabric is in good shape, and is PMA'd so it can be used on certified aircraft. Excellent option for a minimum weight recover job on a 2-22, 1-26, etc. The roll is 60" wide and 40 yards...

Im looking to buy a small (13.5') speed boat on a trailer from Pensacola, Fl.. and need it towed west as far as possible. ideally SF Bay. The boat weighs 560lbs, and only 13.5 feet in length so it's a light tow, even for a small car. Yeah, the other post is mine too, this particular boat is hard to...

If this was a summary I'd hate to the the whole thing! I'm all for free speech, but why oh why do these people think that they can post this type of drivle to a soaring new group! -- jorgie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted via OziPilots Online...
