Hi, I have this really old Cambridge GPS-Nav. It is a model 10. Old and big and heavy. Works well, but it has an internal battery that needs to be charged and I am missing a wall charger. Does anyone have a wall charger for one of

Just today, I received the below notice from the FAA. I thought this was a "done deal" more than a year ago? Vaughn New VFR Transponder Code for Gliders Notice Number: NOTC3762 New VFR Transponder Code for Gliders

I have the last Std. Cirrius made by Jastreb/VTC. It came in an Eberle tariler however the tougue is not Eberle. I need to replace the gas strut. The gas strut is a stering damper type and looks like the gas srtut they put on cars to open rear doors and lift front hoods. It is not the...

Are tow planes required to have a current 100 hour inspection? Does it matter if it's a club or a commercial operation operating the tow plane? I thought I knew the answer but just came home after a knock down drag out "discussion" with our A&Ps.

There seems to be a fair amount of confusion about the springs used in almost all modern sailplane rudder cables. The springs are there to keep the pedals upright (pulling forward) and to facilitate rudder pedal adjustment through the use of an 'S' tube. Each rudder cable enters the top rear of its...

This is prompted by someone's description of a flight involving high sink from tow release to landing. The pilot stated that he released from tow in 800 fpm sink at 3,000' AGL. It's so common when I'm towing to have the glider pilot tell me, "I'll take a tow to 3,000 feet." Then, during the...

Unfortunatly my PZL turn and slip indicator has given up and I would like to replace it . The one in place has a 4v supply with a converter providing 4v from 12v. Just wondered if anyone out there had one not in use that they would like to sell? Many thanks

With nearly million iphone apps, I still can't find a simple audio vario app, one which can be used as a backup if all else fails or when flying gliders with mechanical varios. Non compensated and based only on GPS altitude, but still better than nothing. Graphic display optional. Any iphone app...

I've done three silver distance flights this spring and am working through the rules for a gold distance. I fly our club Standard Cirrrus. I just bought a Colibri II approved flight recorder. Questions: Does this sound correct? I want to do a 3 turnpoint closed course that is about 320km in...

Found this PNA on the K6 website. Nice specs and price, especially for those of us who already have a paid-for copy of SeeYouMobile on our PDAs and don't really want to pay for it again when moving up to an Oudie... Anybody have any experience with it? Seems almost identical to the Oudie, except...
