Can't wait for someone to take some glider images with this thing. Who's gonna' be first? http://www.centrcam.com/ - John

I still like to fly with paper sectionals in the cockpit, especially in contests with marked up TP numbers and landout options.

I wanted to let the group know that ClearNav is up and running repairing Cambridge 302s. From the time I mailed off the unit until the time it was returned -repaired and re-calibrated - was less than 2 weeks. Pretty impressive turnaround. A big thank you to Gary Kammerer and Jeff Bennett at...

Just purchased a used aircraft with a 5 year old Becker AR4201 radio that seems to work normally BUT no sound goes out on transmission. Previous owner says everything was fine prior to my purchase of the aircraft. No changes made. I am using the previous owner's Bose headsets. So I can understand...
