AT, TAT, MAT? by
noel.wade
All -
Does anyone know of any good books or articles on the nuts-and-
bolts / common-strategies of how to fly the various competition task
types?
I'm still waiting on my copy of Winning II, but Reichmann and
Brigliadori don't really touch on these and the competition rules only
define what the...

Becker AR4201 tuning problem by
Hellman
Occasionally when I try to change the MHz setting on my Becker AR4201
radio the radio tunes in the wrong direction. In particular, turning
the outer knob clockwise should increase the MHz but sometimes
decreases it (and this is not when it hits the maximum value, where
that would be normal).

Glider towing with 08 Honda CR-V? by
Tuno
I just bought a 2008 CR-V with no expectation of towing anything with
it, but the book says it will tow up to 1500 pounds, so now I'm
wondering if it would be worthwhile to add a hitch so I can tow a
utility trailer, and the glider for short hauls or when the primary
tow vehicle isn't available.
I...

Does SeeYou have a separate Validation DLL? by

Folks,
I know I should post this to the SeeYou forums, but I'm having issues
resetting my password.
I'm looking for a SeeYou DLL in the prescribed IGC format for
validating the SeeYou G-Record. I already have the stand alone DOS

functional (a casualty of my Mother's Day bounce), but it works on
activesync.
Does anyone have any recent experience with a repair house? I've

microlight gliders? Too light to fly in a breeze?
