Warner Springs Fall Classic by

Warner Springs Fall Classic
This will be designed as a mini-sports class regional. Maybe some of
you missed a Regional because you had not had enough time yet and you
would like to dip your feet and see if you are up for the challenge.
Maybe it’s time to visit Warner Springs before next season....

More on intermittent CAI-302 shutdown by
Frank[_1_]
Yesterday I instrumented the glider 12V power bus with a digital
voltmeter (DVM) so I could independently measure bus voltage if I
experienced another intermittant CAI-302 shutdown. Of couse, the 302
worked perfectly the entire 5-hour flight and its voltage reading
matched the DVM the entire...

lift on the Sierras? by
Hellman
I fly a motor glider out of the San Francisco Bay Area and frequently
head over the Sierras to the good soaring. My question has to do with
lift on the Sierras themselves.

Side-mounted canopy -- Prevent blowing shut? by
V1
I have a side-mounted canopy (Ventus 2). I'm concerned that a gust of
wind could blow it shut when it's in the open position, breaking or
damaging the canopy.
I could close it every time I walk away for a minute or two, but
sooner or later I tend to forget and leave it open. I've thought...

LS-1F question by
Brad[_2_]
I was looking at some pictures of an LS-1F..........does the fuselage
have a wing fairing? from the pix it appears the wings plug right in
to the side of the fuselage like an LS-3.
Does this model have auto-hookups? looks like maybe the elevator does.
Also, is the F model...

Two recent incidents by
Uncle Fuzzy
Sorry if this is boring, but the last discussion pretty much focused
on the release / rudder waggle. I can't get to the NTSB report just
now, but I seem to recall reading in the report on the OTHER incident
(loose hand held radio blocking forward stick movement) that the pilot
released, still...

I have been experiencing some intermittant CAI-302a shutdowns, before,
during, and after flights lately. Here's what I have been able to
determine so far
The shutdown appears to be associated with the CAI-302a sensing that
it's input voltage is too low for normal operation. When I have...
