Just a quick question. Had a brainstorm the other day, might have hit my head, don't remember, who knows... What are y'all using for on board power these days? Last I flew, we were using 6? amp hour gel cells by Hobbico from Tower Hobbies. (The kind that powered the little Powerwheels Jeep your...

Borgelt Dynamis variometer by Mike Borgelt[_2_]
Well we finally got all the algorithms right and the plus and minus signs in the right places. It took a lot longer than we thought until we made a testing breakthrough. One day the story will get told. Our beta testers report they are very happy and could not fault it. Search Youtube for Borgelt...

Cambridge 302 for sale by Jonathan Foster[_2_]
I have a Cambridge 302 I would like to sell. I recently removed it from my glider for something with a pretty color screen and more current draw. It has had the GPS date issue fix installed. Should work great for someone many years to come. If you want some pictures of it, just send me an...

Engine bay fire detection with video camera by Eric Greenwell[_4_]
I don't trust the heat sensor on the right side of the engine bay to activate soon enough to land safely, especially for fires caused by the bearings of the lower propeller belt drive. It'd be easy to install a small video camera at the front of the engine bay, and run the wires to a small...

Dittel DSG-71M Stopped Working -10C by George Haeh
I was having a lovely wave flight at 20,000, temperature -10C (in Cowley wave airspace) and called ATC for a further clearance. No response and didn't hear any other transmissions. Tried an AWOS freq and heard nothing. Stayed within wave airspace and descended while seeking sunshine to warm up....

Tail Dolly Tire Pops off Rim by George Haeh
Last year I replaced the 200 x 50 tube. A few days ago it was low and I pumped it up to 36 or so pounds according to max pressure on the tire. The next day the tire came off the rim and won't stay on even with much reduced pressure. Can't really complain as could have been on for 20+ years. In...

craggy aero ultimate by 6PK
I'm considering to buy the Craggy Aero Ultimate flight computer. Has anyone had any luck running TopHat or XCsoar software on this device? Richard is very non-committal about anything other than the SeeYou software, but I'm very much used to and like the TopHat or XCsoar programs so hence my...

Mecaplex Rail Screws? by Papa3[_2_]
Have to put in a replacement rail in a club ship, and I'm fairly sure one or more screws were lost when the old one broke. Anyone know the specs on those screws. From memory I'm guessing about an M3 x 0.5x 1 but would be great to know for sure. I'm not near the glider to check the old ones....

Rope Breaks (Grilling sacred cows) by [email protected]
Does anybody have a first hand account of a rope break in which a canopy was factually damaged because the pilot did not make an immediate turn to the left or right? Please note:This is not my theory. I am only relating what is being taught at a particular club (not the club where I fly now).
