The result is small, may be a fluke and it's too soon for the LetsGoGliding campaign to claim credit but, since February, SSA membership has grown at least 50 members every month with 74 new members in April which represents a reversal of the long term downward trend. The number of bumper stickers...

I have an ICOM handheld transceiver that I use in gliders, but want to configure a hands-free push-to-talk system w/external mic. My problem is coming up with a good microphone that works with this. Attempts at using mics with the minijack input has yielded poor voice transmission compared with the...

PF manual does not list typical power consumption. Because PowerFlarm can supply power to other devices, this is a variable figure. The manual says only "up to 1.2 Watts", or 1 amp at 12V. That's rather a lot, so I decided to check. My PF brick is connected to a Butterfly 57mm flarm panel...

I am seeking the correct wording for a Form 337 for a rear view mirror for an Agwagon.

The video documents the outlanding mishap of a club 1-26 near Lake Elsinore. It was discussed during a safety briefing at that club, and I think it is mentioned in the current Soaring Magazine. Worth watching: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xqf0HqpnySA

Hi, I'd like to write a small programm (online) to evaluate our paragliding competitions. We usually set a couple of turnpoints with a radius of 400 meters and the aim is to pass all these one by one and fly to the target cylinder, the finish. Just to get an idea how it looks like, I made a small...

This last weekend I ended up not doing any XC flying due to many factors but it was still a beautiful day so decided to do a little bit of filming in the cockpit to give a tour of glider instruments and controls. Yes, I am sure many of you could have done much better but it was a single off the...

Folks: Naviter's first Android app is published in the Google Play store. With a similar iOS app to follow immediately after Apple approves it. It's an IGC flight file recorder and its name is SeeYou Recorder. It's free. And it's actually an IGC flight recorder on...

I tried connecting my EW logger to external 12V power from the glider per instructions in the manual. Current draw was reasonable (150-250 mA), but the unit became extremely hot (I couldn't hold it) and it stopped working for the rest of the day. The next day it functioned normally. Does anyone...

Congratulations to Gary Ittner and Phil Gaisford on winning the US 18M and Standard Class Nationals. Scores are still preliminary. Very close contest for both classes. Peter Deane was only 2 points behind Phil (about one turn in a thermal over the contest). Chip Garner was only 19 points behind...

Hi All, I'm purchasing an oxygen system for my DG-300, and I'm not sure which cylinder to buy. Can any owners comment on whether the 5.25" cylinder works? My measurements indicate it will be tight but perhaps will work. Thanks! -Dave Kammeyer XLT
