Are there some standard colors for tubing for static, TE, etc.? Thanks, Fred

Help: I have a PC running Windows 7 - 64 Bit. I have Cambridge GPS-Nav. Does anyone know how to convert a CAI file 2 an IGC file for OLC? The program from CAI2IGC4OLC.ZIP works OK with Windows CP and Windows Vista -32 bit.

Is there a tape out there for sealing gaps on metal sailplanes that doesn't turn into a sticky mess after exposure to the sun and heat? Would be nice to have a somewhat permanent solution that only needs to be replaced a few times a year on gliders that sit outside assembled for the season.

Very unfortunate to read about accidents resulting in death or serious injury in any sport or endeavor. Without making a mountain out of a mole hill, as one who has spent a lot of time chasing rope and hooking up gliders in the past year and a half I would like to remind everyone that it's a lot...

Hi, I'm pretty good at working with PDAs, but this one has me stumped. A customer sent his iPAQ hx4700 to me and asked me to see if I could completely remove a very persistent security program called Credant Mobile Guardian Shield (CMG). It requires a password when the unit is turned on. The...

I'm looking for suggestions for taping the hinge side gap of a Grob. I typically un-tape for the annual inspection of condition, clean, then re-tape. There is very little movement at the hinge. In the past, I used Tesa brand Tissu tape that Wings and Wheels sells (about 2/3 of the way down this...

I'm not sure who shot this but it's sort of a "home movie" of the Seniors. Thanks to whomever posted this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kjdf7VPpTKk Hope the link works.

Hi All, The charity I help out with (http://www.freedomswings.ca/fw/ -- we provide Inspiration Flights and training in the disabled community) has come into possession of various PDA/PNA parts. I've gotten everything together and working except for an iPaq rz1710 and Cambridge Model 10. I figure...

I am trying to look at the tracking info for individual gliders at the recent Seniors Championship. I opened results and reports on the SSA web site and see a number of small squares with alpha numerics under them. Nothing indicating individual gliders. When I click on one I am informed that I...

Hi, The first batch of SPOT Connect units just arrived today. http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/spot.htm You can see details on the related iPhone and Android apps he http://findmespot.com/en/index.php?cid=119 It looks like a very nice system. I like that you can send any 41 character message...

I installed a TT21 last fall and *thought* I had it configured and working properly. I fired it up this morning in preparation for the start of the soaring season, and it came up in configuration mode instead of the normal operating mode. I ran through the configuration sequence again, turned it...

What is it? Software or Hardware?

I just returned from my annual glider flying visit to Bitterwasser in the African country of Namibia - it is my 14th consecutive season of glider flying at Bitterwasser - this past season I flew 6 flights over 1000 km - the longest was 1206 km - my total flights over 1000 km during the past 14...

Hello Pilots, Here is quick update on the upcoming soaring seminar. The event is set for 3/12 at NCAR in Boulder, 9AM – 5 PM MST. Webcast: Watch the RAS for a post from Frank Whiteley for details about logging on. The speaker’s line up is as follows and not necessarily in this

Has anyone flown from there or been a member? I'm thinking of moving clubs for a couple of reasons but thought I'd see if anyone had any views on here before I go take a look. Cheers Rob

Day 2 of the 2011 Seniors is in the bag, and we all had a pretty good time of it. Weather seemed to be better to the south, so the CD called a 3-turn TAT; south to Myakka Head with a 15 mile radius, then ENE to Frostproof with a 20 mile radius, then NW to Blackwater Creek with a 20 mile radius,...

As a new owner of a Std Cirrus # 80 I heard today that they have a very turbulent wing. Any thoughts on this and how to remedy the problem. Thank you M

RIM (BlackBerry) announced that their PlayBook will be able to run Android apps (by using an app). Does anyone know if XCSoar or LK8000 would run in such an environment? Is the PlayBook daylight readable? -John
