ELT's by [email protected]
At the Seniors, we had one pilot who called on 123.3 and said he heard a elt going off, and everybody should check their's. Well, it was his going off and bleeding over on 123.3 on his radio. So, if you hear a ELT going off, and your flying along on another frequency, it just could be yours. I...

Is there a thing like a map...

Mountain High EDS O2 system battery by Bill Daniels
I have an EDS on order and have been reading the manual available from their web site. It says "USE 9V ALKALINE BATTERY ONLY" in caps for emphasis. They then go on to say that you can also use and external battery of any type you choose. OK, so what would be wrong with using a 9V lithium smoke...

SENIORS CONTEST by Gordon Schubert
With all of the discussion about the finish gate and how dangerous it is, I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the near mid-air at the finish on the practice day. GORDY

Power Commercial to Glider Commercial by Mitty
I'm looking at adding a commercial glider rating this summer. Never been in a glider, but my hunch is that it will be a good learning experience even though I'll never fly one for hire. So ... trying to divine the meaning of Part 61.129(f)2 "20 flights in a glider as PIC" and "5 solo...

Cross Country Definition by f.blair
I saw a posting on a web site about Steve Fossett's around the world flight. Just think, since he landed at the same airport that he took off from, he can't log that flight as 'cross country flight'.

Virtual ELT by Bill Daniels
This seems a far better idea than built-in 121.5 MHz ELT's. http://www.vpos.no/ I wonder if it could work in the USA. Bill Daniels

Pneumatic switching? by bumper
On a self-launch with pylon mounted prop, the prop wash can interfere with a probe mounted on the vertical fin. One way to get around this is to use a pneumatic switch to change from tail probe to nose pitot/fuselage static when running the engine. Question is, what plumbing is best to...

2005 Seniors last 3 Days #711 reporting by [email protected]
Yes, we had 2 accidents. Maybe we should ALL wait till the reports and details come in, before we do more damage than is needed. I did see and hear from persons who saw both accidents. The best news was no one was hurt. Now, we will wait till the folks figure out what happened. The last two days...

Scammer alert on GliderPilot by John Ferguson
I put up an ad for a 2nd hand chute recently and after exchanging some basic details I got this reply today. The parachute has become a glider and it has all the hallmarks of 'I'll send you too much money and you keep some' I'm not even going to bother replying to this mail ... John

Options by [email protected]
We successfully fly our sailplanes by keeping our options open, don't we? We keep an extra 300 feet in the pattern, just in case we hit a bunch of sink, don't we? On the ridge we keep our speed up and always have an escape route, don't we? Why then, do we continue to use a finish gate that reduces...

Fuses versus Breakers by ContestID67
I have some fuses in my glider. One is on the main battery itself. The other fuses are in the instrument panel and are for individual devices (radio, computer, vario). I got it in my head that I should replace the panel fuses with breakers. There are several advantages, like being able to reset...
