Does anyone know what is happening at Westerboer? I have sent three emails over the last couple of weeks and not received any response. Regards Phil Jeffery

I am planning a trip to Marfa TX for next summer. Several pilots in the group want to attempt long flights, including some FAI length O&R and Triangles. 300km, 500km, 750km and 1000km lengths. These lengths put you over a lot of ground. I'd like some advice from experienced Marfa/Hobbs pilots on...

We have had very little rain in Texas this fall. Is anyone interested in a handicapped open distance contest during December, January, and February? Longest handicap distance flown in Texas wins. Bill Snead 6W

Congratulations to our sport flying friends at the Experimental Aircraft Association for orchestrating the introduction to flight of 1 million kids 14-17! EAA achieved its ten-year goal mid-November just a bit ahead of schedule, in time for the Centennial of the Wright brothers' powered flights of...

Hi We try to have on one headset to radios. One radio is a aviation radio the other a all-people-radio with a range of about 2 km. What we want is to have is a master-slave funtionality. If the master gets a signal the slave should be quiet. Do you have any idea if there is such a thing to buy in...

All, I have been looking into having my glider refinished. Casual conversations with other pilots revealed that most think a "normal" refinishing job would cost about $10k. After speaking with Gaines in Georgia, I believe that is wildly optimistic. Gaines charges $60 per hour, and he says the...

This is just my idea, but I think it is a good one. I think during the instruction before solo, a studnet should have to experience flying close to another plane. I'm at a quiet gliderport and all through my instruction I cleared before release and cleared turns, but I didn't know what I...

Anyone out there come across any really useful software for managing SN-10 *.ndb files? I use SiteMan, but it is laborious and too "cute", and doesn't allow looking at all the waypoints in a spreadsheet/database format. SeeYou has a tool that looks better, I have only just started to play with...

We have too many iPaq's on hand. All models: 31XX, 36XX,3765, 38XX and 39XX Cables/GPS units (with iPaq cable and power converter), Colibri loggers and LX160 computers. Pleas give us a call at 519-461-1464 Ed Hollestelle / Solaire Canada

Give it up, Walter! Nobody will buy your Eastern block manufactured "pseudo-LS" crap, and you will only succeed in 2 things: 1. Causing the extinction of some exquisitely beautiful sailplanes. 2. Having you and your 'secret investor' go bankrupt.

Looking for a Prue Super Standard, any condition. TIA BJ

I received this email after advertising a glider for sale on the web. This is a scam, and I thought I would broadcast it here so everyone is aware of it. Received: from mwinf3003.me.freeserve.com (smtp1.freeserve.com ) by tor-mta1.allstream.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 01AD71DB369 Received: from...

If you have any info on where the Region 10 contest might be held as well as when, please advise. Thanks, Gary

Where can I get the file layout for the SN-10 databases? Thanks, Fred

Greetings! Anyone found a cradle for an iPaq that suits use in a glider and doesn't require amputation of a limb to pay for it?? We are considering standardising the mounting facilities in our club fleet and the costs of multiple cradles seem prohibitive at this time. The main hurdle to overcome...

Can anyone (maybe a Dutch gliderpilot) offer advice to fitting a 175watt Becker transponder to a Ventus? This is new to us in the UK. Type of aerial and the best location for it? Does a carbon fibre fuselage give problems? I'm thinking of putting the aerial in the wheel bay.

Mark Boyd from first post: So for my flight review in Avenal yesterday, we did a bunch of slack line corrections. We did them during one tow, but broke the rope. 150' of rope ($12), two schweizer rings ($20), one tost ring ($35), a carabiner (sp?), two half-wiffle...

I will be out in Pensylvania until the end of January, and was wondering if anyone needed a glider transported from the east to Albuquerque, New Mexico? I can deviate to Colorado or Arizona or any place reasonably on the way between the two points if needed. Willing to pick up from Knauff, M&H,...

Some years back there was an article (maybe several?) in SOARING magazine about installing tip strobes on gliders ... Anyone remember/know what issue(s) that was in? I'm researching collision avoidance stuff (again, still . . gr) (Boy, do I wish there was a good INDEX to Soaring! I've got...
