An email message was sent to (apparently) all registered competitors for the upcoming 15m/Open nats at Uvalde, advertising the availability of a cottage for rent near the airfield. I called & emailed back within a few minutes, but could not get through. Later, I was notified by email that the...

There is a local Ka-6 that Rudy Mozer flew 396 miles straight out from Adrian, Michigan. The Kansas State Free Distance record is held by a long winged BG-12 at 436.1 miles. My Dad built a Cherokee with a 15 meter wing (called the Annebula). He did his Diamond distance (in a flat triangle) with...

Does anyone know an internet link from which to download an English version of the Janus B Flight Manual? or a copy they could e-mail me? Regards Christopher Thorpe

Hello everyone, I'm thinking about replacing my current Colibri logger with the new version with built-in Flarm. It seems to be an easy way to add Flarm without the hassle of rewiring and adding yet another box to the panel. Any experiences and pros/cons out there? Reliability? Compatibility with...
