Is there anyone that is going to be at both the Nephi flying week and Sports Class Nationals in Waller this summer that could transport a tail dolly and tow bar from one site to the other for me? Please contact me directly if you are able to help. TIA Dave Springford dave "at" foxonecorp 'dot'...

I initially financed through the Lea County people in Hobbs. Glad the option was there, but the terms were rough. I then took my case to my employer's credit union, where it was turned down. Even though they serve aviation professionals, they told me they don't do sailplanes. I briefly...

I am in need of a temperature probe for a 302. Can anyone tell me what type of thermistor it should be so I can make one, or better yet, does anyone have a spare one laying around that they would be willing to sell? Dave Springford www.foxonecorp.com

When at Uvalde, my small shock absorber broke off right at the end which caused the wheel wheel to collapse. It happen while pushing out onto the grid. It did cause a problem and something I never gave any thought to which might break. There was maybe a thread and a half left which held on to the...

It's been 19 years and thousands of yaw strings from the first, somewhat crude by comparison, MKI. The most recent MKIV is the culmination of a few dozen improvements and is flown by pilots all over the world. While the Quiet Vent added to the serenity of soaring when sweating out a low save or...

After upgrading my panel I'm looking to sell my Cambridge 302 variometer/flight computer and the associate 303 navigation display. Both instruments were purchased new in 2009 and are in excellent condition. Current price for this combo new is around $2800, but I am selling these for $1600. I will...

Since I upgraded SYM to 4.3 on my hx4700 it no longer receives GPS data from my LX7007. I've played with the port settings (comm ports, buad rates) with no success. Has anyone else had this problem? Could be a cable went bad, but I'd like to rule out a software configuration problem ... 2NO

I have not been able to find out the type of aircraft flown in this incident. When I look at the GWS site it shows Twin Grobs, DG-505 , and a blanik . Which of these aircraft was involved ? Most members of the club I belong to have a small emergency kit in their glider with flares, emergency...

MAKING 50,000 DOLLARS IN 20 days This is NO joke….. A while back, I was browsing these newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00 plus stamps! So I thought, "Yeah,...

Another fantastic Parowan meet is complete. Thanks to all those who brought their energies to bear to make it all run so smoothly. It was an exceptional field of pilots this year and the task committee, led by Charlie Lite, made near-perfect calls on all seven days allowing 55 gliders to log...

Does anyone know an avionic shop or any technician able to replace a radio in a ASW19 in the Phoenix, AZ area? I first thought I had a battery problem, the reception is really weak and pretty much unreadable. Time for a new radio I suppose! Thanks! Richard

I'm putting together a business plan. Can anyone answer the following: 1. How many glider pilots are there in the US? In the world? 2. How many gliders are registered in the US? 3. How many new gliders came into the country in 2006? 2007? 2008? 4. How many of these were motorgliders?
