My IC-A3 manual grew legs, is there one online somewhere? (Searched and struck out) 2NO

Perlan 2 has launched with weak wave. You can follow near real time at this Virtual Cockpit link, fed by (I assume) the telemetry system. http://perlanproject.cloud/VirtualCockpit.html You can see the pictures and read the comments about the previous wave flight (Sep. 13) on the...

Yesterday we noticed a weather balloon which appeared to be fully expanded slightly to the east of Moriarty. It appeared to move slightly to the west as the day wore on and, when I landed at 5:30, it was perhaps 20 to the west of Moriarty. Winds up to about 16,000' MSL were out of the west at...

I was checking someone out yesterday in a Grob 103 and we were experimenting with various things including yaw sensitivity. We noticed that the ASI is completely useless with anything more than about 10 degrees of yaw. Like, it goes to almost zero and flutters around. Given how poor Grob...

Does anyone have experience with taking this radio apart to adjust the "automatic" squelch pot? Can you remember which pot it is? Thanks

I've been waiting for an "official" note. But absent that, I'm saddened to pass long the news that we lost another one a week or so back: Johnny Byrd, "30", left us after a long illness. I wish I could recount the contest wins, the stories, the good times so many of us shared around the country...

I agree with Darryl Ramm's assessment that a PowerFlarm and Mode S transponder (Trig T22 in my case) in my glider is the best solution for collision awareness and "good aviation citizenship" with other powered traffic. That's what I have in my glider. However, monitoring ADS-B UAT (978Mhz)...

Another very sad day for gliding. Bummer. Telluride plane crash kills 2, including pilot and well-known Telluride local "Glider Bob" Saunders. #telluridecrashhttps://t.co/DJhxIM0wRS — San Miguel Sheriff (@SheriffAlert) August 25, 2016 Bob had a starring part in the recent video Cloudstreet-...

I have now destroyed two of those silly rubber tail skid/wheel things on my ASW-19. It's a black rubber skid shaped device that has a roller blade wheel molded into it. It looks cool. But if you push it sideways too many times the wheel gets ripped out of the skid. Or if you fly out of a...

Long time ago I saw a neat movie about a father and daughter(?) learning to soar in New Zealand. Great scenery. Remind me the name of the movie? Also, if my 14 YO son gets instruction and solos in New Zealand does the flight time and solo endorsement from a Kiwi certified flight instructor count...

I thoughtlessly posted my earlier message (below) a few minutes ago with a somewhat obscure subject, not realizing that "30"--a contest number that for many of us evoked only one pilot's name--had been reassigned. Apologies to anyone who was inadvertently...

Does anyone have experience with this device? If so please comment. http://www.uavionix.com/products/pingbuddy/ Also has anyone been successful with getting XC Soar to accept a GDL 90 protocol so that one can use such a device whilst running XC Soar? This would eliminate the need to run a EFB and...
