This is a Long Softie which is good for up to 240lb. 15" wide version. Purchased in March of '16 Has not been repacked. Glider was damaged on the tie down, and I discovered my long torso would be better suited to a backpack only type chute. It's Red in color. Comes with a bag, and the...

S80- Vario/altimeter setup: Electronic compensation (internal sensors) or TE Probe? Thoughts? Preferences? Problems associated with one over the other? Thanks!

Anybody out there familiar with the B4 canopy to frame attachment method? We have a "new to us" B4 in our club, and the canopy has become detached from the aluminum frame along the right side. It appears to have been glued in place. A previous B4 we owned had the canopy attached to the rails by...

So this is a bit of a strange story. Up for sale last week on Ebay was this old lady: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Standard-Libelle-Glasflugel-Glider-First-Registered-in-1976-/252990052032?hash=item3ae761d6c0:g:ztMAAOSwCkZZQCZX&vxp=mtr And less than a week later, without even changing pictures or...

I adjusted the brakes on my Cobra trailer according to the directions from Cobra. On the first test drive, the right brake drum got very hot in a few miles (about 240 deg F); the left brake drum got up to about 125 deg F. Neither drum seems to be dragging when I jack up the wheel and spin it. I...

Just recently bought a Pawnee in Mt. Sterling , Illinois. Plan on possibly taking it apart to ship to Florida. Are there any glider guys out there that would be willing to give me a hand in taking the ole girl apart for shipping? I am willing to pay for help and probably all the beer you can drink....

It's too bad there is no one writing about the Uvalde contest..Nothing on the SSA site or the RAS, or I'm I missing it?

I am on the hunt for a set of winglets that look like this: http://www.rcawsey.co.uk/n114tw.jpg I know Heinz made them, and I know there aren’t many about so if anyone would part with them I would be really happy I would also consider paying to have them scanned to make a mold Cheers

I am in the middle of converting my Cobra trailer tongue from the round tube (broken) to the newer square tube type and find I am missing a part. There is a rubber/plastic plug that goes in the rear end of the square tube to keep debris and small critters from getting inside the trailer box. W&W...

15M/Open Class Nats., Uvalde, Tx. Interim CD, Mark Keene. "Yesterday’s thought that it would be a little bit better than it was and watching the tracker, especially 15M it looks like you were following streets. I know it wasn’t as good as Uvalde can be." Today’s wx. Looking at the result...

Is the SSA's "Where to fly" map updated regularly? There seem to be a number of clubs that are shown on the site with old and bad links and no recent history on google, at least in the last few years.... Specifically, i was trying to figure out if Iroquois soaring Association or Saratoga Soaring...

Kinda weird no reply? What's going on? I'd like to have the contact for this transparencies manufacturer. Maybe you're holding back in hopes that I'll take on the project of forming one on my own?

Hello folks, did a little searching on past posts related to Pawnee tanks and came up empty handed, so here goes: ours is a C model with the bladder/liner equipped fiberglass fuselage tank. It's developed a leak at the bottom that I'm digging into. Discovered a poorly done previous repair that...

The FAA has just informed us that northern NJ will once again be blessed with the weekend golfing presence of President Trump. Lucky us. This means that for the last eight weekends, we have had ONE weekend when we were allowed to fly. Last year Trump's favored golf club in Florida opened for the...

Mark Keene: If you liked yesterday ,you’re going to love today. Winds less than 10 knot, but around this area will be slow, slight inversion. Once on course, on task, better conditions. No sea breeze, 101 degrees and blue. John Lubon. 100 degree band in the south. Tasking will head to the...

IIRC, the rubber gasket seal around the cockpit is a Volkswagon part. Can someone give me the part number, or correct my recollection? The G 103 owned by Youth Flight Canada Education Fund has a torn gasket that needs replacing. Any info appreciated...
