I flew yesterday (26 October) and had two hours, later I used the Cambridge utility on my PDA to download the flight log from the Cambridge 302. First thing I noticed was that the utility said the flight was 111 hours long, and that the date of the flight was 21 October. I later checked the log...

I just started flying an ASW-19b at our club that has an L-Nav, GPS-NAV, Vario combo installed. When I turn the unit on, I get the barro page. I can set the altimeter here but the Go button does nothing. So I can't get to the main screen. Yesterday I gave up, left the L-Nav on. About 3 or 4...

I am flying an ASG 29 Es and was wondering if anyone flying an ASG 29-18 had fly these variometers configured to use electronic compensation and is so what is the percentage you use. I could do my own testing but right now I am not able to dedicate the time and I need to achieve the best result...

Hi all, My thread is either 8 months too late, or three months too early depending on how you look at it. I'm looking for opinions on gear for cold weather flying, and high altitude flying, particularly as it relates to footwear. I'm trying to find a pair of boots which are warm and insulated,...

I'm beginning my soaring journey. Have visited the gliderport twice (Bermuda High Soaring in Jefferson, South Carolina). Supposed to go up this Saturday for the first time if the weather cooperates. I did ground school and a few hours in a 172 about 6 years ago, and I've been up in a glider once...

Was just reading about the Aspen suite of avionics for GA http://www.flyingmag.com/way-to-aoa?src=PPC&dom=fb&con=Aspen-FB-Ads. Was wondering if Air-Avionics Butterfly, LX 90XX or similar modern glide computers would be capable of such algorithms to have a working AOA?

Hi all in US-glider land! I am in the process of installing my brand new core and intend to use the Dsub9 connector for power. Can anyone confirm which color cable is connected to pin 7 (+) and pin 5 (-)? Why do they keep that such a secret - the manual does not give a hint? I paid good money for...

Well, what do you think? I'm in the market and both are available with the LS having a higher asking price by a couple of thousand. Assuming similar trailers and instruments, is there a significant performance difference? Most Peg owners seem to love them and there is the DG/LS "tax" to consider....
