Does anyone have a citation to the FARs that defines what constitutes a Powered Glider (vs. a conventional powered aircraft)? -- Mike Schumann -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

Just bought a used CAI 302 from W and Wh; unfortunately many accessories are missing incl. the CD. I have installed and run the 300 support program, and configured the 302 for my PIK 20E. Turn on does the usual start routine, but settles with +2kts indicated. Any ideas? John Firth ( old but no...

Now that it's passed it's annual I'm curious if there's a conversion kit for hydraulic brakes? Has anybody in the US done one? I see at least two kits (not aircraft specific) on W&W from Tost but haven't come up with much else. If there's already an approved EASA version of this it'd really be...

Did anyone experience problems with DITTEL KRT2 XCVR installation and MIC/INTERCOM setup in motorized two-seaters? Willy

I discovered that there are no airports south of Cedar City, about 37 degrees. I have checked all of the US airspace files. Does anyone know where I can get more complete airspace files? Thanks, Tom

I have the VL Manager 4.0 (English Version) as of several years ago. I finally gave up as although the program itself was in English, the "help" file was in German. I have tried Googling but have gotten nowhere. Yes, I have tried and paid for See You but it's documentation is awful IMHO so I am...

A friend reminded me, again, about the films of rookies landing U-2s and not knowing to do with the rudder on roll-out or (in some cases) the need keep the wings level as long as possible. This reminded me that both are things all glider pilots understand and, by extrapolation, to wonder why...

Hello I know it is a long shot, does any one out there have a L-Spatz canopy? or know were there may be one on a damaged airframe? or some one that could manufacture one? If there are small crachs that is fine although I would prefer one with no cracks. Regards

I need a few HD soaring videos, and I don't mean to watch streamed on youtube or fleabiz; I need to download them (mpeg or wmv or mp4) to replay on a computer away from the 'Net. They need to be minimum HD720 but1080p would most appreciated. They do not need to be long -- 30 seconds to a minute...

On my 70th birthday I promised to clear out some of my soaring files. I got 20+ years of soaring magazines for anyone or any club who will pay the shipping cost. Any takers ??

I am thinking of buying a Filser ATR-500 comm radio for our club. Does anyone have any experience with it, especially reliability and repair-wise? I like the idea that it just plugs in where the previous ATR-57 was. But I am concerned because the ATR-57 has to go back to the factory for repair...

I want to create an online Gliding Pilots Photos album (copyleft and international)... and I would like to receive your picture near or inside a glider (much better airborne!) If you wish to participate send a jpeg or png file to you may see the album...

Two questions: 1. As I load my car for a trip to the airfield for one day of flying, I wonder how the families loaded up for a week or two of competition, back in the day when families went to the competition. From the book about Dick Schreder, written by his daughter (an EXCELLENT book, by the...

I'm a little baffled at the huge difference between my GPS altitude and the pressure altitude when I get up high. Yesterday on the ground, I showed around 10 feet difference between the GPS altitude and the pressure altitude. Up around 17000 feet, the GPS indicates over 1000' higher. I also noted...

At 7:26 PM Mountain Time there are no flights for July 3 shown for the US on the OLC site. Does this strike anyone as strange? I was looking for some Parowan Reg 9 flights. Bill Daniels
