Hello, All, I'm very happy to announce the inaugural use of our club's new winch this past weekend. We had a total of 37 launches and 36 were incident free. Our one, minor glitch was when a slack rope worked its way under one of our vertical rollers. This was fixed with a small, piece of high...

Hey everyone, I'm thinking of upgrading the fabric seating of my DG-101. I currently use about 10kg's of lead to reach the minimum weight of 74kg and was thinking of integrating lead into the seat. Is this something ever done before? What are your opinions on this? Regular fabric is used now, would...

Question: How accurate are the AGL statistics at the bottom of the traces? Today for instance, There was a pilot of of Ely who got within 59 meters of the terrain and...

A big tip of the hat to Erazem and the team at LX NAV! I suffered a glitch at the Seniors Contest yesterday to my LX 8080: it would not finish a flight despite shutting down and restarting. An email to the technical department was answered even though it was Sunday evening, and it was as simple...

Any leads on a 2-32 left wing? Thanks, JJ

It's $19.99 a bottle; quite a bit less than WX Block. Is...

Does anyone know why Google is reposting stuff from 14 years ago?? Note the date on the first post in this thread. This has happened several times lately. Do they think this group doesn't have enough traffic so they pump it up with old posts? What ever the reason, it is weird.
