I am considering the purchase of a glider that I would have to ship from Switzerland to an East Coast port. Can anyone give me some direction on the best way to accomplish this. The things I'm most concerned about are; official paperwork, customs, funds transfer and shipping.

My unit is 6 months old. Going to upgrade to the Explorer version. Sean 7T

The US 15M/Standard Class Nationals required FLARM to be in stealth mode for the duration of the contest. I have to say, I absolutely enjoyed the experience. FLARM became what it was always supposed to be - a collision avoidance tool - rather than a tactical leaching tool. I found that I...

During my first annual with my Phoebus A1, we were looking at the rudder control arm connection and noticed an odd bearing. It's designed to move in multiple axes, so it seems like the bearings being exposed is notmal. But, having not seen such a beast, is there anything to pay more attention to...

Does anyone have any experience yet with Condor under Windows 10? I'm trying to decide whether I should upgrade yet given some concerns about connectivity with my Vertica V2 running LK8000 (this may also be a problem for Oudie users). I purchased a USB to serial cable from Glidertools several years...

I have a PowerFlarm Core, an Oudie-2 running SeeYou Mobile, and an LX Flarmview. I would like to use both the Flarmview and the Oudie as displays for the Powerflarm. The RJ 45 connector on the PowerFlarm is occupied by the Flarmview. I would like to connect the Oudie into the DB9 plug on the...

I'm a nervous flyer who spends a lot of time as a commercial aircraft passenger. My number one anxiety is that freefall feeling when the plane drops, like you'd get on a rollercoster (I don't like those either). As a bet with myself, I bought a trial lesson at my local gliding club in SE England....

After running out of my favorite "Brillianize" (more on order) tried a handful of things that were on hand or otherwise locally available. Had heard "Plexus" was highly thought of, but it left streaks. None of the aerosol cleaners seemed very useful in the wind. Meguiars "Mirror Glaze 18" worked...

I reviewed this news group, Buttler/Nixon/Murray vent and DG's page on Mandl air extractor. Could not find a suitable reference for and extractor for a sustainer or motor glider. I did note that the open tails of DG and LS gliders apparently did not do a good job of extracting air, hence the...

I'm looking for a source for some fuses for my 1972 ASW 15 panel. They may be called mini barrel fuses and were apparently used in military helicopters. They look like this:...

What an inspiring, well made video... And what a great club! https://vimeo.com/105810456 Boggs

I was quoted $3,500 to $4,000 by the Mercedes Benz dealer to install a factory tow hitch on to a ML 350 Bluetech 2011! I was wondering if anyone else had this happen and if so, where did you go to have the work done and were you happy with it? I live in Southern Cal.

I am looking for recommendations for soaring clubs near Berlin, Germany, preferably one that focus or welcome owners of classic sailplanes (I have a 1965 Aer Pegaso M100S). Any suggestions?

It's not really fair, because I do so many flights in my own back yard, but in chalanging conditions today, I out thermaled a G-103 and an ASW 20 with my old, beat up 2-33 today. I kept asking them to check to see if their spoilers were open... Victory comes in many ways. They had to buy the beer...

Send details (vintage, hardware upgrade, licenses if applicable, condition, price) via email here or jnbearden at aol dot com. Or tell me why I should get the core instead. :) Thanks. Chip Bearden ASW 24 "JB" U.S.A.

Was wondering if anyone can describe their personal experiences with a Bohli compass. Did you like it was it easy to use? I read the manual which proclaims one can actually use the compass to center thermals and to cloud fly. From my reading it seems as if you would have to be VERY experienced...
