Devin kicked out of junior worlds. by Mitch Hudson
Rec.aviation.soaring favorite, Devin was kicked out of the Junior Worlds for being up until 4:00 AM drinking on flying days, and general disrespect for the coaching staff. It is unfortunate that such a potentially talented young pilot was unable to meet his duties to the U.S. team due to his...

Vario Problems by jp4711
My glider is equipped with L-NAV/GPS-NAV. Over the past weeks I have noticed some problems with the vario. For example it gets stuck and shows constant lift (visual and audio). Turning the instrument on/off does not help. Slapping the instrument panel has helped. That makes me think it is a...

Hobbs Meter with Airspeed activation by Paul Remde
Hi, I have a customer that has 2 2-seat (ASK-21) gliders for a commercial operation. He is trying to find for them "Hobbs meters" with switches that start allow the meter to record time only when in flight (over some airspeed threshold). Of course, it would not be ideal if it recorded when on...
