I needed a small part for AS-W 20 and thought M&H just might have it. Sent an e-mail and got a very quick reply and sure enough they had what I needed. Monty sent it right out and I'm back in business. Great service, both Monty and Heinze are great guys. Thanks Dan Rihn AS-W 20 WO

Westerboer electronic total energy vario by kd6veb
Hi Gang The new Phoenix came without a working TE probe because they had hoped to design their own but designing TE probes is 90% magic and 10% science and they failed.

I'm trying to find out if he is the oldest currently active soaring pilot in America. If anyone knows of an active pilot...
