It appears that the FAA might be upping the weight limit on LSA aircraft. One of the main limits holding back marketable gliders from being LSA eligible was the low Vne. If they are opening up the LSA rules for more change, and changing to more of a risk-based rulemaking we should be able to argue...

Just took delivery of a LAK 17B FES and would like to share advice, tips, etc with other owners. Is there anyone out there?

I thought some of the geezers of RAC might enjoy my most soaring video. It has scenes from both my recently acquired Libelle 201 as well as Morgan Hall's Duo Discus. Anyway enjoy the video and happy flying https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEUFdYWng4I Wyll

How does the water sealing system on a Cobra normally work? On the inside lower edge of each side there is a small trough. (A great place to store the TE probe, etc.) If I look closely, there are small high water marks in there. Also drain holes at the front and rear ends. (One of which was...

Does anyone know what size fuse (amps) should be used with a 302? I can't find it in the manual. http://www.bas.uk.net/docs/302_v2.pdf Thanks, Uwe

Anybody know what's happened to the Nixus project? No updates for 5 months now... https://www.facebook.com/NixusProject/

Hey all, I have noticed some gliders have what look like small fuel filters spliced into the tubing prior to avionics. I imagine this is a safeguard to dust, etc entering the avionics. Seems to make sense eventually what's outside is going to get inside.... However, is this necessary? I see a lot...

Hi, I'm looking for an port outer aileron for my Ventus b. Mine is split so I need one in good condition to replace it. I'm currently at Benalla for the season and would love to be able to fly my glider.

What have you guys found to be the best "flight computer" app for a smart phone or tablet? Ive tried using iGlide for the iPhone (basic version), but it doesn't seem to have the functionality of a true flight computer where you can input a task, turn points, etc. Do I just need to upgrade to the...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=abtj87wAX0Q Some good stuff in here. I wonder if the LAK 17 b is about to land gear up? They call the Antares cockpit "crash proof" not to sure about that.
