All, Any idea what rate (Hz) the GPS in the latest Powerflarm runs at? Regards Richard

Some time ago JJ had a good writeup on rudder pedals, S-tubes, rudder cables, etc. I'm in the process of replacing a rudder cable that has a bit of fraying. The nylon sleeves in both S-tubes are too far out the rear with no sleeve showing at the front. In addition, I suspect one nylon sleeve is...

So what is the latest on the availability of the Butterfly vario? Wonder if it will "fly" in any Uvalde WGC sailplanes? Also, will it deliver full featured or will the featurs dribble in over time? Sure would like to see something on YouTube including a sampling of the audio. How about it...

I am planning to drive from Tulsa, OK to Lakewood, NY to pick up a canopy and to a visit friend near Allentown, PA. I have an empty tow ball and if anyone needs some help moving a glider. please contact me. I have many years of experience towing my own glider and other gliders for friends. I am...

I've had xcsoar on my Dell streak running Android 2.3.3 "Olleh" ROM for some time now and it's worked well. However, some sort of update was applied recently via Google Play and now the Streak is very unstable - it turns itself off randomly now. I've uninstalled all updates but the problem...

Does anyone have a copy of the circuit schematics ( not the installation wiring) for this radio. I have schematics for lots of other airband radios if anyone needs one. Ken Reynolds krenateircom.net

All, I am active Australian comp pilot visiting my business HQ in FC CO. Looking for guidance on who to contact in the area who could help me with getting some gliding in.

Can someone comment as to Sunlight readability of the Vertica V2 in comparison to the Naviter Oudie 2? I have read that the Vertica can run multiple applications at once while the Oudie only can run one. The gps accuracy of the Vertica is supposedly better. Are there other features of the Oudie...

When my Nano carried out an auto update Nov 24th, the config program could not be opened. I removed the updated config program and copied the previous version back onto the micro sd card and all back to normal. Has any one else found this problem?

Looking for a used EW Micro Recorder. Daryl

Here's my blog write up of a non-SSA sanctioned contest held every Spring at Avenal, CA (Great Central Valley of California). Only between 8-12 pilots showed up. Nonetheless, we had four (five counting practice)days of good racing and flying weather. My blog:...

Has anyone successfully loaded the 302 utility program on to a Oudie and make it function? I would be grateful for information on how to do this.

So what is the collective wisdom for a decent P&S camera for the glider. I'm looking for something slightly better than my cell phone camera, but small enough to fit into my Libelle with my lard butt in there :-) Thanks Peter

Has anyone installed white LS sleeves in place of L'Hotellier fittings? There was a post on RAS awhile back that mentioned the White LS sleeves were superior to the Wedekind sleeves. I'm looking for the best upgrade to the L'Hotellier fittings so I don't have to mess with the pins. Nick

We, up at Evergreen Soaring out of Seattle, WA., have a pilot that recently did something that is quite phenomenal. He crossed the Cascade Range, from the flats on the west side, to his crossing of the Columbia River on the East side....and came back home, all on the same flight. A true "double...
