It's time to replace the yellow rubber wing-tip skids on my Discus-B. They are 5.75 inches long, 1.3125 inches wide, and about 1.0 inches tall (hard to tell when they're worn down). Tim at W&W doesn't have them anymore, Cumulus Soaring doesn't carry them, and Eastern Sailplane (assuming they...

I moved to the US, settled down, got a job - I guess it's time to resume training :-) The question is - are there any formalities to be done before I can fly? Medicals, student pilot certificates, anything? Or do I just call any gliding school, make an appointment, show up and fly? To clarify - I...

Has anyone had much experience with a DG808S Competition? It is unusual to see one even entered in a contest.

Does anyone know where I might find enough Douglas Fir suitable for use for spars for the Woodstock 12 meter wing? I need pieces in the 12ft range. Does anyone know where I can have these spars made if I dont want to do them myself? This project doesnt go very far without spars!

Someone tried these? http://chartgeek.com/ Frank Whiteley

I'm looking for a copy of a photograph I saw years ago of Bob Symons soaring a P-38 with both engines feathered during the Sierra Wave Project. Anybody have a digital copy? TIA... Ralph Jones

Hi. I have a french gliding license, and as i have to go to the US for a short period, it would be nice to do some gliding over there. I had a very short notice - i'm getting there this saturday, so no time to prepare this properly, but staying in Monterey for 5 days i looked up a bit for...

I just purchased a ship with a 302 installed and have a question for any 302 owners out there. When I turn the 302 on, it goes through the normal boot process; zeros the needle, sits at the serial number/ firmware version for 10 seconds or so, then goes to screen 2. The strange thing that happens...

An East-coast pilot wants a partner for an Antares 20E to be based west coast. He wants to fly it occasionally at Minden and maybe Tonopah/Parowan. He will consider sharing his ASW-27 based on the East coast (Pennsylvania Ridge area). Contact me directly if interested and I'll put you two in...

Showing off, are we?

I have an older volkslogger that has been working great, but now I have developed a security problem. When it boots up, it says security seal OK, but when you check a file with the Vali verification program then it says the file has either been tampered with or missing or corrupted G...

On 02May 1986, the following pilots completed a 1362.68 KM triangle: Karl H. Striedieck - ASW 20 John C. Seymour - ASW20 Robert L. Robertson - Ventus Thomas L. Knauff - Nimbus 3 Leonard Roy McMaster - ASW 20 All except Thomas Knauff flew together. I'm looking for the write up of this flight that...

I would be interested to hear from users of the B500, especially those in Europe and those with the GCD2 with mini-sd card. I bought my unit at the end of last year, I find the steering to a waypoint information is consistently 7-14 degrees out. The manufacturer is unable to reproduce the problem...

Does anyone have a manual that I may copy? postage etc gratefully re-imbursed.

Recently purchased a glider with an LNAV/GPSNAV Model 20 system. Does anyone know of a simple and easy way to download the flight data after a flight. I was hoping there might be something on the market that would let you use a flash card or SD card etc. without having to drag the laptop out to...
