I should already know the answer to this but I don't so here it is - what do you do if log books for a glider have been lost w/no hope of recovering them? How can AD compliance be assured w/o doing them all over again, assuming that a simple visual inspection by a qualified A&P can't confirm it?...

Ok, normally this is soaring, but I know there are a lot of really capable computer folks who read this group and this item might actually help some of the other folks out there in the future as well. I have a Dell, set up with RAID 1. For those unaware, RAID 1 utilizes two hard drives. The...

The Condor support guys haven't ansered any of my emails for a week. Noone on the Codor forum has tacked this question, either. So RAS Condor pilots: does anyone know the answer to this question? I'd like to run Condor from a non-administrator "limited user" ID under Windows XP. It gets an...

OK, here's something you don't see on here very often... I've been soaring as a student since late summer 2006. I had serious ear/sinus problems last year and flew little. This year I'm back "in good form" and in the air...both power and glider. I Have a commercial power ticket, and will be...

I have an LNAV and i'm looking to add a data logger/GPS source to go with it. I was hoping to use a 302A but I have read that there are interface problems between the 302A and the LNAV? Is there anyway to get the 302A to interface properly with an LNAV? or is there a way to get around some of the...

Today (June 11) Oakland Center asked the Global Hawk Test Team to help with a Mayday call from a motorglider in Utah. The team was flying a new Global Hawk somewhat above 50,000 feet north of Edwards AFB and was 8 hours into a 30 hour mission to test the sensor suite when OAK Center made the...

We have a set of older belts in one of our gliders. Today we managed to lose the spring clip that connects everything together. The clip is a triangle shaped spring that goes into a slot in the lower belts to hold the shoulder straps in place. Does anyone know where we can get another clip...

Does anyone have an email address for Steve's Soaring Service in Hemet, CA? Thanks. BDS

Holy Smokes! I was scheduled to tow today but after looking at the sky and checking the weather I scrambled for a backup and thankfully found one. Matt Michael helped me get set up. The Ames weather was reporting Few clouds at 9000 AGL. This was at 1 PM! I quickly realized that Matt's state...

Is there a way to watch a replay of two sailplanes flying together by loading two IGC files?

I am looking for the wiring specs on an older Becker radio. I can't find a model number, but I will describe it and see if anyone can identify it. It has one display LCD for the frequency. On the bottom left edge there is a control that can click through 4 stored frequencies and then one...

Have things gotten better with Vista now with the older soaring programs, or are there still major problems? Specifically See You, Winpilot, LX Navigation for colibri?? My computer is getting old, but I am not sure if it is safe to replace it yet, if it will kill these programs. Thanks Kevin...
