Anyone have a ( 5 yrs.) old chute they are considering selling? I am 5'6 198 lbs. and recently purchased a Russia AC4A which seems to have a pretty roomy cockpit as a first ship. If so please email pics, specs, price, and contact info to Many thanks, Rick

Hi I want to replace the plastic trim on the sides of my Cobra trailer. How easy/difficult is it? Suggestion, advice on how to do this please. Thank you Gilles

Two gliders have caught my eye; 304 with minden trailer and Discus B with Komet. Both about the same hours, roughly same age, 30k vs. 36k. I'm getting back into soaring after a twenty year break. I've got about 120hrs, a fair number of those hours in a Glasflugel 401. I'm big, but dropping...

Do you crab or forward slip landing in x-winds and why? When I was taught how to fly an airplane the crab method was used when I transitioned to gliders my instructor emphasized forward slip over crab. Years later I have established my procedures, but I thought this might be a useful discussion...

I'll probably have back seat available at Seniors. Contact me via PM if interested or you know a junior that could use a ride. Thanks, Best Regards, Dave

I have a PIK20B which has a Standard Airworthiness certificate. I want to change the AWC to Experimental Air Racing to facilitate two modifications: changing the drum brake to a hydraulic disk type and possibly the addition of winglets. I would appreciate any advice and/or opinions from those who...

Hi All, Just upgraded transponder. Removed a Microair T2000 Mode C transponder and ACK altitude encoder. Unit was certified and tested last year, but probably will need to be certified again for another aircraft. Asking $800 for pair, or BO. Also upgraded to a PowerFlarm Core. Have an early...

Hi, I received the first batch of Nano4 units yesterday. They have all been sold, but more should arrive in a week or 2. I'm extremely impressed with the Nano4. It is easy-to-use and the display of airports and airspace and FLARM data only makes the screen clear and uncluttered. It is a very...

Hi guys, I heard about this forum from Williams Soaring today and I'm looking to sell some small Becker Com Radios at a good price. I buy and sell avionics for certified aircraft as a business, but these Com radios come out of Gliders so I thought I'd try this forum. I've got some Becker AR4201...

Selling some Becker 4201 radios, all in great condition, all come with paperwork. Can supply a harness or connector if needed. Discounts available if more than 1 is purchased. Price $385 including shipping

Because of the way the trailer opens, you have to walk the wingtip out so low that a standard one-man rigger doesn't work. Does anyone know of a one-man rigger that'll work for a Standard Cirrus and Eberle trailer? Thanks in advance! Chuck

Anyone have a winter 57mm altimeter laying around they'd be willing to sell? Working on some panel reorientation... Jordan

Does iGlide show the reachable landing sites in the current McCready setting ? Oudie changes landing sites color to Green for reachable sites. In any case, how important is this feature ? Dan

Snipping from another thread (Per): "And this is exactly why retrofitting an older glider to FES is impossible. With an max weight of non lifting part typically in the range of 230-250kg is it not enough marginal to put in an extra weight of 40-50kg for motor, electronics and battery in the...

If anyone in the UK has a G-Reg Pegase with a Gadringer seat harness could they contact me please?

There was a group for Pegase owners which unfortunately I can no longer find. Does anyone have a link to a parts list and an email for Centrair? I have managed to lose the emails from them when I replaced the trim spring. :(

My trusty SPOT gen1 has developed a bad on/off switch. The GEN1 was very good and almost never missed a data point. Any reviews of the gen3 vs the origional? TT

anyone else ever have your inReach die? Mine was fully charged, turned it on and got a good tracking signal. Put it in my pocket and went soaring. After I landed it was dead. Can't turn it on at all. Tried to contact Garmin but their customer support system is terrible. Cancelled my...

This is now in beta and available for general download from http://www.sjhaley.com/cupx/createcupx.htm Cupx files are turnpoint files with embedded pictures that can be used in LXNav flight computers along with Seeyou mobile. LX Navigation's Zeus also supports Cupx but I have not tested it with...

Do any of you know who holds the STC for the conversion of the Pawnee from 150 to 180 HP? Information would be greatly appreciated. Bob
