Hi Folks, I'm selling a copy of Ellison's "British Gliders and Sailplanes 1922 - 70". It's on eBay at http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6921575191 Quibblers note: both reserve and buy-it-now prices are less than I had to pay to get this about seven years ago! Ian

I'm trying to get a Compaq Aero 1530 with PocketNav to receive NMEA output from a Colibri logger so that it can display the moving map. When I tried it for the first time in flight the PocketNav message was "No NMEA Data" and it went into simulator mode. Can anyone tell me what sentences to select...

I saw on the BGA website the BGA changed the spin training requirements. No more required low altitude spins. Good job, guys. I'm glad they changed it. I'm over 4000 miles away and I was cringing... On another note, the site seems to indicate that 20 flights minimum are required to solo, but...

My Nimbus 2C landing gear struts are on the bench while I wait for a part. How do these things work? Is there any maintenance that can be done on them? Bill Daniels

I showed up in Fredricksburg on Sunday mornin and pulled the weather all the way from Uvalde. Like it rained most of the way. I believe it rained so hard on Monday that the Frio river overflowed and caused part of the interstate to shut down. Anyway, they were not flying and I left on Sunday...
