I purchased an L-23 a few months back. I hope to fly soon. It's still tucked away in the trailer. I purchased three wing stands from Wing & Wheels to assist with assembly. Are there any tips out there to make the process go smoothly? I moved the wings around when we did the annual & they're...

Does anyone have a pdf of the Schuman mods? Thanks

My glider came with a PZL KI13 Compass - it turns fine but seems to be 90° out of alignment. I tried to adjust it and found I could choose between 90 or 180° of incorrectness! It might be because of the Borgelt B40 vario I put next to it so I may not be able to keep this setup. I didn't notice...

I was in Robert Mudd's shop yesterday and he had a Grob 103, N928BG. He told me that it came from Hawaii. I just looked in my log book and found that it was the first glider I ever flew! My brother took me to Dillingham Field and introduced me to Elmer and, after talking a while, he gave me...

I have an alluminum "cigar tube" trailer for my Glasflugel Libelle. Over the past 5 years the previous owner has left it outside in the Texas sun and weather which has resulted in some chips of paint starting to fall off and some algae growing on the paint. (By the way, it rigs great and is...

I'm not attacking the TAT. I'm attacking that the USA, Good Old Boys, US RC, SSA, etc., has totally lost touch with Sailplane racing and has allowed TATs to become the ONLY measure. The US no longer holds ANY straight forward racing tasks. None, nada, ziltch, zero. And the US team is selected...

Does anyone know the proper paint type and color for touching up a scratch on a 2010 Aluminum Cobra trailer top? Thanks!

I spent a day at Oshkosh last Monday and had a chance to talk to Trig about their ADS-B plans. The Trig TT22 Mode S Transponder is currently shipping and supports 1090ES ADS-B Out, if it is connected to an approved WAAS GPS position source. Up to now, approved GPS sources have been quite...

I have a LNav / meter that has worked fine in the past. Sunday the meter pegged out at 10 knots and stayed there. I cycled the LNav a few times and it kept doing the same thing. Does anyone have experience with this, and if so, what was the fix? The LNav itself seems to be fine. Thanks Kurt

I need some help with a Dittel FSG 60M. Everything works as expected, except the frequency display is now showing 188.88 regardless of the frequency it's tuned to. Any suggestions?

Ron Schwartz has been pounding the Appalachian Ridge system since shortly after dawn this morning in his trusty 1-26. As of now (about 14:00 local) he's got about 600K under his belt and looks to be across the Potomac for the tricky Sleepy Creek Mountain transition. Assuming this works out, he...

Hello Everyoe: My name is Chris McKeon. I am a longtime Hang Glider Pilot, twenty plus years of flying Flex-Wings. I was flying my Beloved Altair Predator 158 from Mount Diablo on March twenty Eight 2010. Well the wind strength turned on really strong. The wind was blowing something like...

A couple questions. I had ailerons removed for refinishing and now looking at maintenance manual to see what is needed for the gap seal. The maintenance manual indicates using double sided adhesive to glue non-adhesive gap seal between wing and aileron. I could have sworn though that the gap seal...

Hopefully someone has been through this exercise (successfully). I just received my PowerFlarm today and I'm installing it into the panel (that's no problem). The plan is to use the Zeus for the target display. There's a "Flarm" port on the back of the Zeus, but it's not RJ-45, like the port on...
