Contest Director Paul Cordell asked me to give a daily RAS report on here for all you glider addicts. In case you have never been to New Castle, Virginia before, let me describe it. The town population is 350 people, with panoramic view of mountains 4,000 feet tall surrounding the valley. Look...

After flying for few month with Powerflarm brick, I can say that while the flarm functionality works great, the PCAS performance is poor. I have yet to see an ADS-B target so cant comment on that. I am flying with both my trusty old Zaon MRX and Powerflarm and can say that the MRX consistently...

So... has anybody successfully gotten the LX-Nano to be the GPS source for the SN-10? I've made my own RJ-45 cables to connect the two, but the SN-10 refuses to acknowledge that there's a GPS attached. My volkslogger blew up last spring, and we've not been able to make any use of the SN-10,...

Not sure what's a fitting NG for this. Being a newbie to the aircraft related scene I've got to ask this: why we are not seeing any asymmetrical designs in dual engine jets. Say you have a low bypass turbofan for takeoff (and redundancy) and a high bypass turbofan for soaking in the marine...

I purchased this unit, serial 001287, together with a PowerFLARM Core and external display, from Craggy Aero as part of an Arizona Soaring Association group purchase. The unit was received August 2012. After comparing the two systems I have decided to continue to use my Zaon PCAS in my airplane...

http://www.tecmate.com/u_optimate_5.php They are used by the 2-meter radio folks and lots of motorcycle people. Aircraft Spruce sells them to airplane people. Seems like a highly versatile compact, durable charger/maintainer/diagnostic tool at a decent price. Perhaps overkill for our...

New owner (Not by choice) of SN10 driven by Volkslogger. Was going to tear out and replace with something newer but I thought Id try and see how I liked it. First, the technology seems ancient, some type of 9 point connector (What happened to SD cards or thumb drives) and the factory site seems...

Hi all, after a great 6 month trip around the US, from Florida up through Mifflin to NY, across to Ionia Michigan, and across to Ephrata WA, down to Montague CA, Minden NV, Air Sailing, Ely, Parowan UT, Val Air CO, Uvalde TX, Marfa TX, and now Warner Springs CA, I am heading back to Australia with...

I have used the See You Recorder three time and have three invade flights on OLC Any ideas??

Just wondering if there is any other forums which glider pilots use to chat on and post pictures on ?s

First, Nadler & Associates and ILEC wish to congratulate the 3 USA team pilots flying with ILEC SN10B in the 2012 World Gliding Championships at Uvalde, Texas: DB Dick Butler, 7th, Open Class, in his Concordia SS Ron Tabery, 10th, Open Class WE Bill Elliott, 26th, 18-meter class Of the six USA...

Anyone out there managed to fit a PF dipole onto an LS-6/8 panel? The clearance between my panel cover and the canopy is less than the height of the dipole (everywhere), so unless I mount it way off center (strongly discouraged in the installation notes) it aint gonna fit. My temp solution will be...

Was just browsing the FAA Registry and noticed they have made a change. They have actually added some useful information for those that have a Mode S Transponder. They now show your Mode S code in both hex and octal.

Anyone using an ILEC SN10 with a Volkslogger. I just got this and am trying to make heads or tails out of it. I had some old Cambridge equipment in my former plane that I could no longer hook to a computer but my Oudie talked to it just fine and it worked well. Now it looks I will have to bring a...

Anyone using ILEC SN10 with a Volkslogger. I just got a plane equiped as such and I am looking for a user forum

From TA's Dansville contest write-up: "Unfortunately, we were also saddened to hear of yet another apparent stall-spin fatality; Jim Rizzo, Finger Lakes club president and FAA Designated Examiner for the area was killed when his glider crashed into a farmer’s field not far from the Dansville...

Has anyone acquired some experience of using one of the proprietry single man rigging aids for this glider? If so, which one did they choose and were there any special features incorporated in the design that made rigging easier? Any other tips would be much appreciated.

Thanks for your replies

Hi, I have several used original version (not the new brighter version) Oudie units for sale. They come complete with box and all new accessories for $395. I am selling them for customers that bought Oudie2 units from me. They both look new and have been checked-out by me and updated to the...
