Is portable TABS (non 2020 compliant ADS-B-out) coming to the USA in 2020? This unit looks a lot like portable TABS. https://uavionix.com/products/skyecho/ It also implements FLARM, and I think that would need to be disabled in the USA. The price point looks right.

My trailer arrived with two soft solar chargers attached to the roof top via a sort of caulk/goop. Two years later the trailer is leaking under the solar panels. Looking for a recommendation for a goop or caulk that is white or clear, and can withstand the sun and heat of the Western USA flying...

Is anyone interested in selling Duo Discus rides next year at various stops along the competition circuit as KS and others have done over the years - either for the benefit of the US Team, SSA Juniors, another cause, or perhaps themselves? One can never sell too many Duo Discus rides (preferably...

I need help in identifying a program used in Europe for post-flight processing of IGC competition files. The program may either be a stand-alone processor or it may be part of a scoring program. The forty -three processed IGC files I have were recorded during a competition in Germany at...

Looking to get "professional" advice in setting up a winch operation for our small glider operation. Who would you consider the top four experts/consultants in the US, and why? Geographical location is of no concern. Thanks in advance!

Has anyone of the early adopters actually flown with the new DeLorme InReach ? I had a contact with their tech support a while back, who mentioned that they report elevation, not altitude. Also their tracking pages mention elevation. I found tracks of Paul/Frank and Sean, but they look like they...

So I've got my new PowerFlarm brick installed and I'd guess that it was losing the other PowerFlarm in the area when the distance between us was between 2 to 2.5 miles. Obviously this is good for collision avoidance, but I was kind of hoping for more range. The other pilot reported similar range....

Hallo, I'm working on my panel redesign. It's a "long distance project" with me on one continent and the glider on another... Would someone with a "winter access" to his glider take some measurements for me? - what is the exterior dimension of Ilec engine controller? I know it is 57mm hole but...

OK, now that I have your attention, I'm looking for a Cleveland 40-78 rim set w/disc in new or good condition, and an M&H CF480 O2 tank if anyone has one of those laying around they don't need... I have *some* monies, but also have the following NOS Cleveland parts for trade/sale: 40-19 (older...

I just had my first flight with my newly updated PowerFlarm. I was able to download the ICG file to the microSD card and it all worked great. BUT, (there's always a but), I also had another recorder (XCSoar, thank you VERY much) and compared the files with SeeYou. It appears the PF is recording...

I'm wondering what other owners of older DG ships think of DG's requirement to pay a fee upfront in order to purchase parts and software to maintain their gliders. I own a DG 202/17. LL
