SoaringNV in Minden, Nevada, is looking for experienced cross country soaring instructors. Our fleet consists of two Duo Discus trainers, one ASK-21, one fully restored 2-32, and an LS4. See the July issue of Soaring magazine for more about who we are. Tow pilot experiece a plus. Want to fly...

I am selling my Volkslogger. It is a Volkslogger 1.0, hardware 3.3 with serial number 0TZ. Included are two cables (the bayonnet connector type, not the phone jack style). One cable ends in a 9-pin d-shell connector, and the other has no connector and is intended for in-cockpit use, I guess. I...

Hi all, I've seen a lot of interesting discussion on this group improving skills and safety, so I thought I'd ask this he I'm currently training for my private pilot glider ticket, starting from zero. I have about 12hrs in my logbook over 43 flights, about a third of which are solo. I did...

One of the books of Philip Wills has a chapter that describes how the BGA was able to obtain the freedom to fly gliders in controlled airspace in the UK. As I recall, this was the result of a statistical analysis on the probabilities of mid air collisions. Would anybody know where I may be able...

Looking for a 15m, clam shell trailer - any type any condition within continental USA. It is possible to swap with my existing aluminum Minden style (plus cash). Thanks GK

I am trying to contact Paul Gaines of Gaines Composite Fabrication http://www.mindspring.com/~composites/home.htm. However, I don't have his new phone number and address since he moved west recently. If someone knows how to contact him, please send me an email to redcatman74 at...

Any aerodynamic thoughts on the two available choices? My ASH-26E came with the stub mounted just behind the wheel. Every now and then it catches on the trailer, so I just straighten it, no big deal. An ASW-24B in our club is about to get a transponder and the factory recommends the installation...

The July 08 issue of "SOARING" arrived today (1 JUL 08) and within it is an article about a new soaring video in the making. Creator's Mike Abernathy and Matthew Murray plan on creating a program that, if funded, will be picked up by the Albuquerque Public Television Station, KNME. And then, it...

Can anyone comment on which manufacturers use "sandwich" construction in the fuselage and which ones don't? I'm particularly interested in the LS ships, but I'm also curious about what others are doing or have done. Thanks, Dave

If you have a B40 vario in working order that you can sell please contact john at

I know this has probably been discussed many times, but here goes again. I am building my rudder this week for my HP-24. My fuselage and vertical fin is predominately carbon fiber, so no antenna in the fin. The laminate for the rudder will be fiberglass, and I plan on putting the antenna there. I...

Bonjour! Conseillez-vous un site d'internet pour trouver des 'Skew-T' ou 'RAOB' (la pression atmosphérique et la température) en France? Je voudrais trouver des météos à Vinon, Fayence, Saint Auban, etc. S'il vous plâit, répondez à mon address email. Merci! F2

Does anyone know an avionic shop or any technician able to replace a radio in a ASW19 in the Phoenix, AZ area? I first thought I had a battery problem, the reception is really weak and pretty much unreadable. Time for a new radio I suppose! Thanks! Richard

I know it has been in the past... just wondering about this year. Larry Goddard --Zero One--

I'm some distance removed from my POH. Does anyone reading this know the speed at which a Discus B sinks at the rate of 2 meters per second?

Does anyone know the reason why almost no postings are made on the OLC by British pilots ? I was watching Wimbledon on TV yesterday and noticed the great looking skies over England so went to the OLC site to see what good flights may have been made there - but nothing posted . I lived there...

Got a Cessna 206 that emits a steady tone during transmission only. The pitch increases with rpm to a point where ATC refuses service. No tone is emitted on battery power only (Alt. off). No problem yesterday, problem today. Noise remains with audio panel on/off, using L/R trans switch, speaker...
