My glider is equipped with a quite old Becker box. The microphone cable is in very bad conditions and i have a bunch of cables going back and forth from the panel to the box, which is fixed close to my right shoulder behind the seat. I'm wondering if this is really necessary, or if i should go for...

Not to make light of the 3 deaths associated to the SFO crash. But this demonstrates how politically "correct" the media is. Think outside the box? what box! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=L1JYHNX8pdo

I can't pull up the new waypoint file. When I start XCSoar, it does not show two profiles for the two waypoint lists I have up-loaded. Does that mean that the new waypoint file is not loaded correctly, or can I select the new waypoint list via another screen?

OK, someone got a 100point penalty, and NO points for the day. The scoring code was "FD" and "FFD" Not listed on the score sheet as to what the infraction was. What was it? J4

I posted here some time ago about the app I wrote to measure glider wing frequencies - at that time it was only available for Android. It's now also on the App store for iPads and iPhones. https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/wingfrequency/id1205219824?mt=8 More information...

My club is looking for a new rear canopy for our Grob 103 Twin II with blue tint. Lead time from Germany is 16 weeks. Hoping somebody has one here in the States that they would be willing to part with. Anybody?

Keep in mind, among the worst sailplanes are 20:1 or higher. Best jets.....I have no clue, guess high single numbers? What about a current fighter jet?!?! Here is a nice discussion from AOPA (I am a glider pilot with some power time, but mostly joined for the lobbyist's for GA and the CFI-G...

Announcing the 2020 Dust Devil Dash! First of all, our deep gratitude to Rob Morgan for having originated and run this special event for the last 35 years. This year he passes the baton to Tom Coussens (Z9). The Dust Devil Dash is a one-day straight out handicapped distance event for...

On Sunday I saw 2 regional airliners and King Air inbound to Wichita. Has anyone come up with a PowerFLARM mounting solution for a Std. Cirrus that won't get me on the Hall of Shame? Not enough space on top of the glare shield to keep the antennas straight. Thanks! Tony

I have a Filser ATR 500 that can be hard to read under some lighting conditions. I'm not using the display backlight. I'd be grateful if any ATR 500 owner who has tried using the backlight can tell me if its worth disturbing the wiring harness to turn it on and if so, is there a further benefit...

Has anyone tried to run the old Cambridge software PocketNAV-CE3 on an IPAQ 3800 ? I do not want to use it for flying (I fly with Winpilot), but only for sending tasks to and downloading flights from the Cambridge GPS-NAV 20. My Ipaq is a 3870 with Windows CE 3.0/pocketPC 2002 operating system and...

All, This is Jason Payne, and the last time you saw me I was probably still working as a gate crew with Charlie, but I was buming around on the group, saw some guys that I have not seen in a few years, and thought I would say hi. I try to fly with my dad as much as possible in the 25, but have...
