Anyone used one of these in a glider or other aircraft yet? http://www.shadowboxlive.com/ I am interested in a 3D logger for acro flying and such, and this unit appears to fit the bill by measuring speed, alt, g's, and angular rates/positions combined with GPS, so I'm curious to hear...

Hi, This morning I got the idea of printing bugwipers in a 3D printer. Has anyone had the idea before me? /mike

I have started to do a lot more ridge soaring in the last couple years and most places I go seem to have very nice 3D topo maps somewhere to look at. All of these maps appear to have been purchased quite a few years ago. I have done searches on the internet but have not found anything yet. I would...

Can anyone help please with a contact e-mail ID for any member of the development team who built this excellent product. None of the Stransim site e-mail links work - mail is always "administratively rejected" - whatever that means. Many thanks DJR

I bought both from WW and i am wondering if i should apply both? or is that just overkill? I the description of the 3M stuff it says you can follow up with WX block/seal. Just not sure if i should apply the 3M stuff and then apply thw WX. Now that i really think about it it kind of seems like i...

Folks, it's late(10:30 pm) and we have been challenged. Heat. Yep heat as in hot and when it's hot at 5,000 msl, the density altitude is somewhere around Mars and the tow planes work hard to get us up. Our day starts around 8 am at the airport. Prepping, watering and then the pilots meeting at 10...

Link to the live tracking: http://gliding3.adventuretracking.com/GliderCompetition/chile Today it was interesting seeing 2 Dianas flown by Sebastian Kawa and Thomas Gostner heading...

Hi there, I’m getting a bit confused about what is broadcast and what can be done with the data provided. The main question is: • Can I (from a ground station equipped with a Flarm connected to a PC via a serial link) see other gliders around/above me in real time, and display these on my own...

Copied from today soaringmagazine.com- The 3rd World Air Games, which was to have been staged in 2005, has been cancelled. The decision was taken this week by the FAI Executive Board at their meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland as it was considered there was insufficient time to solve various...

Our gliding club operates a Rallye tug fitted with a Hoffman four blade propeller. On repeated occasions it has had to be remove for rectification to serious cracking of the fibre sheathing in the hub area. This can be after as little as 150 hours flying over a 6 month period. Also, it is not...

I have 4 brand new LC-R067R2P1 battery cells (6V,7.2 Ah) which I plan to wire together into a 12-volt glider battery (2 in series, and the series string in parallel). All 4 cells have the identical notations on their cases. Each cell was labelled by the seller: "Top Charged 09/13". I measured each...

Stemme has finally announced thier 4 place 'stretched' version of the S10, called the S10-4VT that they have been quietly developing. It will be available as a self launch or pure sailplane, with only 3 more meters of wing to deal with, but otherwise the performance figures remain about the same,...
