Battery switching without tears by
2G
On one of my flights last year I had to switch between my avionics battery and engine battery when the avionics battery voltage dropped too low (I had left the master on after the last flight and could only partially charge the avionics battery before launching). The switch over seemed to go okay,...

Flight navigation/moving map software for Android System by
Stephen Michalik
The new Samsung Galaxy Tablet uses the Android System. Do any of the
current flight software systems run on Android? If so which ones? How
well do they interface with the SN10 or 302 ? How about the XCSoar
program in beta?
In measuring the Galaxy Tablet it is really only about 1.5 inches
taller...

recertify past twenty years? Seems the manufacturers have put out

interested in getting this chute...

Winch Way Is Up !! by
Craig Freeman
It's intriguing how much attention any post about winch launching seems to
generate here on RAS. I must admit I, like most here in the USA, cried
"foul" or was it"fool" any time one would suggest that winching could be
a viable alternative to the much perferred aero tow. Shame on me. Perhaps
it's...

Towing X2 - Possible? Dangerous? Illegal? by
OHM Ω
A friend of mine (seriously) is about to retire and wants to begin touring the US with an RV while towing a glider trailer. Been done many times. No issues to speak of with this concept.
But he also does NOT want to use the RV to tow the assembled glider around the airport during events. He...

Train Wreck by
XC
Dang! Got drawn in again!
I’m ashamed to admit I have been following Sean Fidler’s “why didn’t I get chosen” rants on Facebook. It is hard to look away from a train wreck I guess. I am embarrassed for him. I've never seen someone take a decision so badly. So much misinformation and so...

Puchaz spin count 23 and counting by

Bill Daniels said,
*Rather than blame the glider, I would point the finger at training
that doesnt equip pilots with the skills needed to fly these gliders*
I tend to agree. Have umpteen hours in Puchii. I have always found them
very predictable if flown within C of G limits. Have never had...
