Anyone know why the FlarmNet download links have been temporarily removed, and when they will be restored? BTW, this is an excellent time to REGISTER YOUR AIRCRAFT if you own a Flarm and have not yet done so. Follow the link he http://www.flarmnet.org/index.php/en/register-now Thanks, Matt...

Just saw this interesting article and since it is wave season many are out there breathing extra oxygen. --------------------------- The findings build upon Sitkovsky's previous research and represent the culmination of his life's work, which has been supported by Northeastern and the National...

Just wondering if anyone can add to a discussion as to why any of the above flight computers are better than the others. If you were to purchase one, which one would you buy and why?

Does anyone know if "Soaring Cafe" is still operational? The website still works and its Facebook site also works, but I have seen no new postings since the end of December. Now, perhaps it is because there have been no submissions, but it does all seem a bit strange. So, does anyone know "what"...

Hi. Anyone prepared to undead a dead MicroAir 760 radio for me. I think it is the internal fuse but I may be wrong. Based East Anglia.

Long story short, our current tow plane solution is with a jump operation where we take tows in between their doing skydives. The jump operator apparently did not check on insurance last year when he agreed to do this for us and he just went ahead and starting towing us. He has now checked for this...

Anyone seen the article in the recent Gliding International about Lange not being able to return a deposit or deliver the glider? Is this why the Quintus only has 14 builds? I did not see the article only the index of articles. I did see a youtube interview with Tilo who said they could not...

Just spoke with James today, 3/04/2015 12:15 MST. He was in Ely. Normal summer operations are planned with 2 tow planes/ 2 tow pilots for a 7 day/week full summer operation. Normal evening hanger BBQ's, shower's, tie downs available. Other words....nothing's changed. Call the Ely Jet Center...

If you need your Flight Instructor's Certificate Revalidated, there will be a FIRC in the Mid-Atlantic area later this month. There are still places available. The Soaring Safety Foundation (SSF) will present a Flight Instructor's Revalidation Clinic on March 21-22, 2015. The Clinic will be...

My Volkslogger thinks it is 1995. I was planning to send my volkslogger back to Germany for repair with Air Avionics but the Shipping back is about 50 Euros. They suggest sending multiple units at once to share the shipping costs. Does anyone else want to ship a unit with me from US and split...

Friends, Where are schools that have a readily available DPE for an initial CFIG? I'm not looking for any feedback about the schools, just locations so I can start some research. Thanks! Terry

Hey all, Just a few videos from the Wave Camp this year. Camp was last weekn in Feb. If you live anywhere near WV, this is a great way to start off the soaring season! http://youtu.be/06f8z1Iif8Q http://youtu.be/gIxfWqGrrCA

Is there a commercial operator in Hawaii that will rent gliders to qualified pilots for them to give friends and family rides?

If you were based in NYC, and wanted to leave a small RV and a DG-400 somewhere warm for the winter, traveling to it for a long weekend once each month, with wife and kindergartener in tow, where would that be? Seminole Lake is an obvious choice, but are there other soaring locations that are easy...

I am wondering if it is possible to combine the outputs of a vario and a radio and send it to one speaker. I did try to Google it, but I did not find a satisfactory answer. Any ideas please? Cheers Paul

Greetings Fellow Aviators, At tonight's meeting we will be kicking off a series of educational events for the 2015 Soaring Season tied to the Dust Up Soaring event planned for Memorial Day weekend in Ephrata. May 23rd - May 25th. The DustUp 2015 event will focus on beginning X-C soaring as well...

Given the problems with Lange Avaition, would anyone consider buying an Antares 20E? Looking for a glider and I wonder about factory support given the problems at Lange? Would love to have input on this matter.

With Williams no longer able to work on PowerFlarms, problems are VERY expensive to attend to. One has to ship their unit to their PF dealer, who ships it to Switzerland for work. Plus shipping back. Mine lost GPS ability, cost me a hair under $500 to get fixed and returned to me. Whew! ...

Looking at a couple of used gliders in my price range across the border in Canada. Does anybody have recent experience importing and re-registering a Canadian glider in the US? Logistics, cost, time, etc. Thanks in advance Gene

interesting article about a potential winglet replacement for jets. I personally think that winglets have more sex appeal though, especially maughmer's. http://www.gizmag.com/minix-wing-tip-vortex-aircraft-aerodynamics/15526/
