Hoping someone on this group has sourced a surge damper for a Komet Trailer built in 1986. I have already taken the trailer tongue apart and the damper is a "Stabilus" brand (made in Germany) I believe the part number is "87 0007 09/S". Also on the damper is are the following line of numbers...

It's been admittedly a lousy spring for soaring in Houston this year so we have had much time to do maintenance and upgrades on the fleet (if this weather keeps up, snorkels will be next). I have been installing FLARM in our club aircraft this winter, purely for the anti-collision features. It...

I am in the process of writing up some regulations for aerotowing to standardize operations and ensure safe procedures for us here in Colombia. The civil aviation authorities don't know a thing about the intricacies of aerotowing so we are on our own with how we want to go about it. Hence the...

Since the board seems kind of dead today (everyone getting their gliders ready for the season?) I will weigh in with a brief review of this combo. I like iGlide, which seems quite modern compared to the other commercial offerings and it pairs well with the Butterfly/Air variometer. Last year I was...

Does anyone know, are there factory approved winglets for Nimbus 4d's? If so would appreciate comments from those that have flown with the winglets and if they were worth the price to purchase and install? What changes in glider performance and handling were noticed after the installation of the...

I'm helping KS update his Powerflarm - firmware update to core and updated config files using the Config Tool from the Flarm Website. The update to the Powerflarm worked (solid green color), but the communication to the Flarmview stopped working. I poked around and found the baudrate setting...

Hi I have a LX 8080 I would like to have put new airspace files into. There is both a USB port and an SD input, but it can only read the SD card and the USB pen. Are there any of you who can tell me what I might do wrong? I have put the files in as .cup files. Regards. Steen Lund

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

Most glider ports have a standardized procedure for 'the one right way' for line crew to operate in normal and abnormal launch situations. It would be useful to catalog the minor and major mistakes that people make in glider ground operations, the incorrect deviations from the standardized...

I read on the Centrair Pegase user group https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/fly4pegasus/info that there may be a change in the Type Certificate and support for the Pegase and Marianne gliders. Specifically, S.N. Centrair may turn over the TC and support to the French Gliding Federation. I don't...

So, I was getting my first tow at a very busy and very well-respected gliderport, and I saw an area where I wanted to go, so I shift a plane's width opposite the turn direction and stayed there. The tow pilot kept going straight ahead. OK, maybe he didn't see me, or maybe like a fishing guide he...

I'm looking to build this integration and put my miserably outdated Oudie out of its misery. Of course I am looking to run XC Soar or Top Hat on the Galaxy Note 4. Has anyone built this specific IOIO board to date? If so please send me any lessons that you may have learned along the way. I am...

I need to update links. What I was using last year seems to have moved or be no longer available. Looking for hourly forecasts. TIA, Evan Ludeman / T8
