Looking to sell a brand new IMI one man rigger or trade it for an M & M rigger. The IMI just doesn't work well for my glider (PIK 20). The IMI has the big universal cuff.

I am still using sealed lead-acid (SLA) batteries, because they are cheap and give good service for several years in my experience. The power needed in my glider is modest so even on a long flight the battery does not get fully discharged, that lengthens its life. I take the battery home when I...

Hey Chris, if you are interested, it is N110FF. Registration canceled in 2012. Last registered owner Richard Harmon in Port Orchard, Washington. Steve Leonard

Hello everybody, as a newbie, I often find myself wondering - how far a specific glider can be pushed - how far a specific glider can be pushed by *its* average pilot The second point is very important because, as obvious as it may sound, no glider "gets there" alone and it surely must be matched...

Today I think I set career highs and lows. Highest circling percentage that I can remember associated (naturally) with probably the lowest average climb rate of a cross country flight I have ever flown. SeeYou says 63% circling and .7 knots average. Took the Cirrus on a downwind dash from...

I'm having similar squelch issues as the Dittel post with my Becker AR3201. Which direction do you adjust the squelch to reduce noise? Manual shows where the adjustment is located but does not explain adjustments. Gary C.

After a week of flat skies here in NM, I handed my Stemme over for its annual inspection. So when I looked out the window this morning, what did I see? Why standing lenticular clouds, of course! Oh well... There will be more wave days before spring. -- Dan, 5J

Hi, Does anyone have a DG300 logo in format usable for print? Vector or PDF etc? I need to restore it on our glider and cannot find one via Google. I would be much obliged if anyone could share it. S

I have read the Russel Holtz books for flight instructing. Anyone recommend a good written test prep book or series for Glider Flight instructor written exam?

Hello folks, My PIK-20B bags need replacing. Does anyone have suitable bags for sale? - I am considering manufacture and have contacted Guy Achard / Airsolid. Are there any other fabricators? - The 20B is allowed to carry 140 Liters, but the bag drawing on trafi.fi show a bag labeled 60L. Why...

If anyone is looking for parts from a Grob 102 Astir CS I have an almost complete although damaged one for sale. The glider suffered a slow speed ground-loop right at take off and went skidding sideways twisting the fuselage and splitting it open down the construction seam. However the wings...

I have a Cambridge 302 and 303 for sale. They were removed from my glider this winter and are in good working order. The barograph was last calibrated on 1/25/15. Along with the units I have the original manuals, a quick reference card, cables, GPS antenna, Cambridge to Oudie connector, and the...

Is it just my imagination, or has the FAA recently obfuscated the FARs to the point where it is now legal to tow a glider with an aircraft that has an experimental certificate (but not for hire). Things I noticed today while poking around: 91.309 now permits towing unpowered ultralight...

There was a recent thread about inexpensive two seat gliders. I made me wonder how crazy I might be. I'd like to buy a two seat glider that could be used for beginner to intermediate-ish aerobatics. Fun for me, perhaps someone might want to do some aerobatics for a flight review instead of an hour...

Does anyone have an elevator for sale off a Twin Lark (IS-28B2)? If so please email me at

What are the pros and cons of flying/owning one of these old girls.I flew gliders waay back in the early seventies at port augusta and shortly before going on to further study our CFI , Geff finished building and was airborne. I thought it was a wonderful looking bit of kit then and now . might...

Can anyone tell me the power output in watts in the RT551 ? Thanks

I have a PowerFlarm and transponder. Ninety percent of my flying is from the Southern Cal operating areas up through the Sierras and typical operating area out of Minden. So while I do pass through a few more trafficked areas, (Cajon& Banning Pass, Tahoe, Reno...etc) the majority of my flight...
