Have seen lots of comments about where and how to mount PowerFLARM antennas.. Any stories of the effect of changing the TYPE of antenna used: e.g., from (in my case) the short, stubby Portable PowerFLARM rod antenna to, say, the center-fed dipole that comes with the core? The question is with...

After addressing other issues with a new ship, I tackled the Power Flarm early this summer. I read the manual, talked to folks and generated a configuration file using the online flarm configuration tool on the flarm.com site. After some hesitance, the configuration loaded and the Power Flarm and...

My "new" glider has a Terra 720 com. As i understand it, the channels have a 25khz spacing. But, it doesn't seem to transmit/receive on 123.075 (a perfectly fine channel w 25khz spacing), but is fine on 123.3. Thoughts? (I know, i know... Buy a new com).

The tail dolly tire is flat again. The last time this happened, it took me bloody forever to get the tire bead off the rim, and back on again, with bicycle tools. (The wheel is one piece and does not come apart.) Somebody else must have figured this out. Short of taking it to a tire store, who has...

I am having trouble with static/TE input from my fuselage mounted TE probe. I think the tubing is original issue (1983 ASW-20C, experimental) and not sure if the probe is getting a good tight seal when installed. Instrument indications are minimal on mechanical and electronic varios compared to...

Anyone in Chicago area know of a glider incident Saturday? We received a sketchy third hand notification and have mostly non pilot friends there. Thank for any steerage or link. Karen

Hi, I'm having problems using bluetooth on my nano as a GPS source for navigation. Basically it works but the nano freezes every now and then for up to 1,5 to 2 minutes. In that case the leds stay off or on and the nano does not respond to the switch/button anymore. The navigation device looses...

With Sports Class Nationals cut short, Bob and I left Uvalde at 7 AM monday with the Silent 2 Electro in tow. It rained pretty constantly through most of the hill country but by 9 AM we could see the edge of cloudy skies. I had been looking at the soaring forecasts the night before and thought...

Looking at the options for instrumentation for new Light Sport Aircraft, I find most manufacturers to offer a complete glass panel for flight instruments, engine controls, communications and of course navigation. There is nothing round with a pointer to be found and everything requires electrons...

The score sheet presently has a column identifying only the name of the IGC file for each pilot. That's a good thing, but it's a real pain to then go find and retrieve the file elsewhere. It would be really cool if we could just click the IGC file name to immediately download it for...

I have an old spare radio and I was wondering if anyone knew of any PC or Mac based recording software that would only record when the radio received a transmission. I'd like to end up with a relatively short recording which is a summary of the radio traffic for the day. Thanks, Mark

HI all, I have what appears to be a mostly complete monerai Sail plane kit for sale. The previous builder has completed the trailer (which houses the kit, and the primary welding on the cadge. The rest of the kit seem to be all there. I've taken photos of what I have and am happy to answer...

Been watching olympic events of rowing, sailing, and so forth and wonder why no sailplane racing, or aerobatics?

Weather for next few days not good. Contest cancelled. Turn out the lights.....party's over. But when we flew it was good, really good. Trust me, next year a shoot out is already planned. Be here if you can! Best. #711.
