LXNAV Experience by
Del Jensen
One week ago today I sent in a variometer to get a pressure sensor repaired. Today got notification of delivery two days from now. Soaring season saved.
You can't beat that kind of service. Uros and his crew are stand up guys.
No, I don't own stock in LXNAV, nor does any relation of mine work...

Average time to solo a student by

Club Procedures for Late Day XC Flights by

Laister LP-49 TE and polar info by
Jim Meade
I have a Laister LP-49 and am looking for a polar graph for it. I
would also like to talk to anyone who has added a total energy probe
to the vario on this glider. It has metal flight surfaces and a
plastic body with solid bulkheads. Might be a trick to plumb the line
from the vertical stab.

Color Platforms for Top Hat/XCSoar by
[email protected]
What color devices are pilots using for Top Hat/XCSoar? I'm running Top Hat on a Kobo Glo (large eink gray scale--great readability) and a Dell Streak 5 (smaller screen, color, acceptable readability). If the Dell were a little brighter and larger, it would be perfect.
Options seem to range from...

Dittel FSG71 Radio / Squelch Questions by
Bastoune
All,
My radio (Dittel FSG 71) Squelch seems to be a bit sensitive (but by design, cannot be adjusted by the pilot). In my case, when flying, the squelch is a bit sensitive and the “white noise” of the radio comes on at times, even when there are no communications received. I can always reset the...
