I used the EDS D1a that came with my DG-600 for the first time, yesterday. This was a 6 hour flight in the 15 to 17.9K range. Up to this point, all of my gliders have been equipped with continuous flow systems and Oxymizer cannulas. This EDS setup was using the standard XCR regulator, supplied...

I am interested in hearing from users of the Zaon MRX traffic alert system. If you have used this new device, would you please comment?

2006 Region 8 Soaring Championships Ephrata, Washington June 26, 2006 - Day 1 Greetings from sunny Ephrata where the sun is shining, the thermals are booming and the pilots are guardedly celebrating a fantastic day of soaring. I say guardedly because as I type this, the scores have not yet been...

I'm looking for a roommate for the 18m nationals at Hobbs. I've got a room with two doubles at the Lea County Inn and would like to split it with another pilot who also likes to incessantly watch the weather channel. Website link for the hotel is...

Does anyone know of an automotive source for the complete brake caliper Stuart

I have been involved in discussions at a couple of clubs looking at the inevitable replacement of wood and fabric trainers. There are many, often polarised views on subjects like: Whether we should ever plan on replacing the K13 Whether Scheibe Bergfalkes are worth keeping. The "XYZ" trainer is a...

Did you check the contacts in the S-Nav? Maybe they have some corrosion on them, causing the vario to see lower backup battery voltage. Steve Leonard 2 S-Navs, 3 L-Navs.

Ted, I watched your flight. At the WGC 2006, in the 18 Meter class, AS, would do the same as yours. His logger is a LX( the model I don't know. I have his igc file, and flight properties show it to be a LX.) and the vertical climbs are the same. What Eric says, could be true, as even if the...

I believe they're the same company that won the rights to make the LS-4, too? Do they have a website? Thanx, J4

I'm working on a safety presentation for our club on Ridge Techniques, do's and don'ts, etc. I have in my personal libary Tom Knauff's "Flying the Bald Eagle Ridge," which has several useful diagrams illustraing things such as offsets/gaps, bends in the ridge, etc. Ideally, I'd love to reuse...

I had my SNAV send the low memory-battery message and shut down and restart while flying. I dutifully replaced the battery and still get the same message...I checked the replacement and it is 3.4 volts on the amp-meter. The manual says the message is only generated if power less then 2.2 volts. ...

We are looking to purchase a fixed gear trainer hopefully located in central or eastern US. Prefer a Blanik L-23 but would consider Puchacz, ASK-21, Grob 103 or similar. Ready cash. No L-13s or 2-33s please. Thanks Roy B. Greater Boston Soaring Club Please respond to:

Marble canyon, which is up behind my home, got hit with 5-8 inches of rain and hail in less that an hour. A wall of water came out of the canyon, and took out numerous homes. It happened in a very short time frame. Cars were floating down the street, with people still in them. The dry raven that...

Just did some business with Paul at Cumulus Soaring. He evened helped out getting some wiring information for me. When his shipping charges turn out lower, he refunds that amount to you. When I checked out, the charges for shipping were $5.95., But they turned out less, so he refunded that amount...

Right, hope I've got the right forum this time... Hi, Just finished reading the above book - what a great story of early gliding in the US, what a guy. Can anyone tell me what Mr Joseph Colville Lincoln is doing these days, where he lives, is he still involved in

A spectacular end to a week's fine soaring at the Region 9 contest in Arizona saw over 20 gliders on a 500km task that took them up on the high country with a final turn close to the south rim of the Grand Canyon. It was my first trip so close to the canyon and what a remarkable flight. Also note...
