make sure you check it on a schedule to ensure that the battery still
has a charge. The manual...

Compaq Aero 1500 by
Thomas Scheidegger
Am trying to get back into flying with a glider which had a Compaq Aero 1500. Would like to fly before making any changes to instruments. Somehow this PDA doesn't want to wake up any more. Does anybody still have one of these archaic PDAs lying around, and in working order?

For my French friends: How exactly does one end up dangling with a parachute in a tree for three days after a bad landing attempt? It seems like the pilot has also "lost" his memory....

Air space file for India - Oudie by
Thomas Van de Velde
Out of curiosity: Where would you be flying in India? While I've noticed great conditions for soaring, I haven't seen much private aviation activity, let alone glider flying.
Thanks,

John Deere Gator TX 2WD by
[email protected]
Does anyone own one of these? Our glider club may be looking to replace a golf cart and I'm wondering if this would be a more durable solution. Primary use would be to tow gliders around the field. Does yours have enough low-end torque to tow a glider at a walking pace? How reliable has it been?...
