From the cockpit, I want to transfer my flight log to my phone and email it to the contest scorer. If your IGC approved logger is Bluetooth equipped and it is paired to your phone, is it just a simple matter of downloading log to phone and emailing the file? Are there any "security" issues or 3rd...

I can't find it now, but there was an add in for Google Earth on here last month that would replay an IGC file; it was so real to watch the tow from our gliderport, just like a regular video. Does anyone have the link? Thanks, Fred

Both Pawnees at the local glider club suffer from leaking front crankshaft oil seals. One has had several oil seal changes and the problem is not cured, the other started leaking within a few hundred hours of a major overhaul. One is in original fixed prop configuration and the other was...

Hi, Today I received the first proof of the soon to be released book "Sky Full of Heat" by Sebastian Kawa. The proof is nearly perfect, so the book should be out in large quantities in a week or 2 or 3. I have only skimmed through the book, but it looks very, very interesting. I anticipate...

I have an old Oudie (first gen), and was wondering if anyone has opened up theirs to replace the battery? The battery life on mine is going south at a rapid pace, and I think I may be due for a new battery. Pete

I’ve been trying to get the rate of "own transponder detection" by my PowerFlarm Core as low as possible. Nothing I’ve done has improved it beyond roughly every 10 minutes, on average. Sometimes it’s much worse, showing up almost constantly. Turning off PCAS isn’t really an option for me,...

Yet another potential source of lift? http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2007/11oct_undularbore.htm?list812469 The question is how long do they last and how far they propagate? And, of course, how do you catch one? -Tom

I would like a poster of one of these lovely machines. Anyone know where I can get one? TIA George Emsden

Anyone using an Aviat Husky A1-B, 180 hp, as a tow-plane? I just purchased one w/ tow hook and would be interested in hearing the experience of others. This Husky also has an 80" Hartzell for improved climb (stock is 76"). * * * FS, beautiful 46' Aeronca Champ 7AC "tow-plane" . . . ah, er, doesn't...

I just spoke with Charlie Spratt, he is at home and doing OK. He is going back for more surgery mid-June which will cause him to be unable to make the contest scene for the rest of 2005. He is in good spirits and I said I would post this. His search for a kidney is still going on, but he has some...

Casey, The AOPA is a mixed blessing for glider pilots. It is by far the best aviation advocacy group (perhaps in the world), and they appear to provide beneficial services to individual members. But they advocate selectively. And glider pilots are so far down the list, it would be easier to...

Hi again, I lost the link for an LS4 user group. I am looking for a group of LS4 owners. Jeff
