Just sent a note to Dennis to voice my disappointment with the current SSA website. I preferred less splash and more functionality (and reliability). It has been several months since the switch over, and I'm still unable to access the photos section, one of my favorites. Today was the tipping point...

There is a new format of iPAQs. I just look at HP web site and the have new (at least new to me and my knowledge) iPAQ 4705, 3715, 3115,etc. Does anyone know how they work with WinPilot and Cambridge 302 for example? How about those digital iPAQs? Looking for feedback and information.

Has anyone a good Puchacz Polar ? I need to generate a polar file to use in the Winpilot. Thomas

Greetings. I am looking for the formal spec document for the Cambridge .dat waypoint file format, if such document exists. My direct email query to Cambrisge Instruments was not answered. Thanks in advance, David Anisman

Having a wobbling problem with the cradle on my KOMET Trailer while installing the wings on my glider. Any experience or suggestion to fixing this annoying problem? It causes excessive effort while installing the wings.

With 4 days out of a possible 7 flown, GTR2004 results are available from the SSSA site at: http://www.sssa.org.za One correspondant was heard to winge about 50 to 75Kph winds - they don't make competition pilots like they used to!!

Anyone had a problem with an EDS turning into a constant flow instead of pulsing?

LS-3 (1977) with aluminum top Cobra trailer (1987). Both in very good condition. Entire glider was refinished several years ago. Glider is just back from cosmetic work at Yankee Composites in Williams CA -- removed scratches under the nose, repainted gear doors, refinished spoiler caps, and...

Hi, I have just completed testing of a method for uploading waypoint databases and downloading flight logs from an ILEC SN-10 to a Pocket PC. Details are found on my ILEC page: http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/ilec.htm It worked great. It is easy for a Pocket PC power user like me but may or may...

I'm interested in knowing if anyone has any direct experience with the increase in take-off run when launching a self-launch glider on grass? I'm specifically interested in the performance of the Russia AC-5M, but would enjoy hearing from anyone with grass-strip experience in any type...

Hi, I used to visit Zimbabwe for gliding facilities. The best weather is starting now. There were facilities in Gweru : Harvey Quail, Paul Cooper ...etc. , and facilities in Harare. Now when I phone previously valid numbers, they are all 'native' occupants. Have all the 'whites' fled ?

Is anyone able to tell me what these projects were? Any reference will be appreciated as I have found none anywhere. Terry Beasley.

I've got my ASW-27B in the shop to have some cosmetic work done - building up the tip skids and fixing some minor scrapes. At the same time I'm wondering if a profiling job is in order as I can now see spar and rib dimples top and bottom all along both wings. The shop tells me that it's going to...

I was watching my friend struggle with (AD required)safty wires for Hotellier connectors on his recently purchased Pegasus. He said the AD notes alternatives to the safty wires like the Wedekind sleeves. Anyone know if these are retrofittable and where they can be obtained. I'm sure this has been...

You all should go and check this out it's a really crazy air race in Reno. The pilots are awesome! http://www.redbullairrace.com/air.html

For those who would like to fly to the nearest airport to watch the launch, you can use California City Airport. Mojave Airport has a TFR posted, which requires you to skirt west of Mojave to achieve Cal City. We have better viewing here, as the climb is overhead, the separation and rocket burn...
