Used Cobra Wing Rigger For Sale by
Jeremy Zawodny
When I bought my 304C a few years ago, the previous owner included a
wing rigger that he's previously used on his ASW-20.
I have no use for it and am pretty sure it doesn't fit the fatter wing
on my ship anyway (I'm fairly sure he tried). Either way, I don't need
it and it has been in my garage...

FOR SALE: Centrair Pegasus 101A - $20,000 (negotiable) by
Jeremy Zawodny
Serial #101A0187, N642BA, standard airworthiness certification, built in
1984. This ship is the best of our club's three 101s: honest 40:1
performance, easy and forgiving flight characteristics, and a pneumatic
tailwheel. Unfortunately, due to a disagreement between Centrair and
the FAA,...

Where to advertise ship for European Market? by
Jeremy Zawodny
After waiting a year or so for the folks at Centrair to remove their
collective heads for their a$$es (I'm not bitter), we've decided to sell
the first of our 101As at a discount and export it to a country that can
actually fly it.
I'd appreciate pointers to on-line forums and/or a European...

Convert StrePla trace to IGC without StrePla? by
Jeremy Zawodny
Someone recently emailed me a StrePla flight trace that I'd like to look
at. Much to my surprise, it appears not to be an IGC file.
Anyone know of a way to convert it without installing StrePla?
I *can* do that, but it kind of seems like overkill for something I'll
only need once every 2-3...

Alternatively colored 2007 SSA Convention Schedule by

If, like me, you scratched you head while looking at the 2007 SSA
Convention schedule:

And if you found the alternating colors in the schedule make it *harder*
to find the breaks in session times, you might find my slightly tweaked

DG-1000 Tail Battery Connector. Where to get one? by
Jeremy Zawodny
The tail battery in the DG-1000 (and probably the 500/505) use a funky
connector that's a bit smaller than a cigarette lighter plug. It snaps
in place and holds on tight.
Here are a few pics:

Pegasus 3,000 hour FAA lifetime limit update... by
Jeremy Zawodny
One of our French speaking club members has been bugging Centrair once
in a while to see what they can do about correcting the Pegasus 101s
"lifetime limit" in the USA.
He's not a RASer, so I'm posting his note below.

I just talked to Centrair, and the situation has progressed!

Using European Oxygen Bottle in DG-1000? Where to buy? by
Jeremy Zawodny
I've been reading the messages about the DG-400 oxygen system with some
interest.
In the DG-1000 that I often fly, we have a US oxygen bottle, the AL-647
listed on the Mountain High site:

Soaring sites near Pasadena, CA? by

I'm going to be in Pasadena later this month on business and would like
to take a day off to fly. I've poked around the SSA and Region 12 sites
a bit and it seems like there are a number of options within a 1.5 hour
(or so) drive.
Before I start contacting all of 'em, does anyone here have...

Glider transport costs? by
Jeremy Zawodny
I've been shopping around for used gliders and one of the factors I need
to consider is how far away it is. Obviously, if it's far away, I'll
need to get someone I don't know to do the pre-buy inspection and will
pay more to get the glider to me.
My local FBO says that $1/mile is a good figure to...

Discus 2b cockpit comfort? by
Jeremy Zawodny
I've never flown in a Discus 2b but have fantasized about getting one
someday. I do have a dozen or so flights in the font seat of a Duo
Discus and while it's a *great* ship to fly, it doesn't have as much
room in the front as our club's DG-1000 does (need room for keeping
stuff during the flight)...
