I am putting together on one of my web-sites some glider performance data for some gliders I fly. Does anyone have the performance data for a Lark IS-29D2? A search of the Internet does not turn up much. I am planning to fly this ship soon. And wanted to find as much info as I could. Carl

I just got back from Dick Johnson's Wave and Thermal camp in Marfa, Texas. Unlike the last 3 years (which were good ones), the weather was all over the board...yet it made for some very enjoyable days of soaring. There were wave flights, some long XC flights, some casual thermaling flights, and...

http://www.telusplanet.net/public/jamulder/CAGC.htm Dad: Click on the address above and it should take you to the gliding club web site. The club is small and very informal. They have a couple of older gliders that the club ownes and should be lots of fun to fly.

Through the contributions to the avoiding VNE thread runs the theme of the difficulty of avoiding overspeeding and/or overstressing some modern designs in accidental spin recovery. This is made more difficult than in older composite gliders because they had a little more drag and a little more...

24 sailplanes and their pilots and crews participated in this year's Marfa Texas Soaring Camp. Luckily we were blessed with good soaring conditions during 6 of the Camp's 8 planned flying days. Spring comes early to the Big Bend area of west Texas, and we had great thermals during each of the 6...

We are looking for a set of LS6c winglets. Also the 17.5 tips would interest us. (To modify to 18 M "Lemke Ears") Damaged is OK too. Ed Hollestelle (519) 461-1464 (Canada)

Looking for some help from the group... I'm putting together a presentation (might be overhead viewgraphs and/or a series of posters) for the general public on soaring and I want to catch their interest and imagination. For instances might be: the world altitude record for a glider is close...

I'm driving up to MEV from San Jose at the end of the month. If anyone needs a glider trailer towed about then, drop me a note. Ken

HI, I am using a Volkslogger to drive an Ipaq 3950 running Mobile CU. However, as yet I have been unable to get them to communicate, I would appreciate it if anyone could suggest the correct settings to use. I have tried setting MCU to auto detect with no luck and also tried telling it there is...

From a visibility standpoint, I recommend the use of the older iPAQs for use in the cockpit - strictly from a visibility standpoint. I'm using an iPAQ3835 with a simple screen protector and no back lighting. The display is quite easy to read, even with polarized sun glasses.

The LX-5000 has a 9-pin connector for an iPAQ, but the slave (back-seat) does not appear to have the same type of wiring setup. Can anyone give me a hand on completing the wiring between the slaved Filser and the iPAQ? Thanks, Roderick

Hello, A member of our club who is from Germany is having trouble getting his LXE-20 to communicate with a desktop and laptop computer. I have tried to help but do not know much about the LX-20. He bought his unit in Germany. And suspected it my be the serial port. Is the serial port from europe...

Hi, I'am not quite sure this is the right forum to post my question, let me try (I also found some specific gps forums) I just bought a garmin gpsmap 76s mainly for use in a glider (hence the post in the current forum) I wonder if someone has some experience with such device for two...
