Toshiba e800 and Dell Axim X3 by
Paul Remde
Hi,
After all the discussion about the Toshiba e800 on this forum I did some
investigating. It does look like a very interesting Pocket PC. Besides the
large (4" vs. 3.5" or 3.8") high resolution (480x640 vs. 240x320) screen, it
also has both CF and SD card slots and a very, very large optional...

ZASoars
Firstly WELL DONE KEMPTON .
For anyone that has access to some ancient SOARING magazines there is a
fantastic photo which was taken by Bob Symons of just the kind of conditions
John Cochrane describes and Kempton must have encountered . Look it up --
Soaring Magazine May 1976 , page 45 .
Enjoy...

Which PDA software works best on Black/White screen? by
cernauta
Dear all,
I would like to use my older Ipaq 31xx. I suppose B+W screens have
lower power requirements and are readable in the sun.
But, which software gives the best results on B+W screens for airspace
and maps?
Should I convert the maps to B+W with Photoshop?
thanks in advance

OscarCVox
Hi
The elevator balance mandatory mods weigh about 2kg. Thus you would need about
10kg in the nose to balance it. Now my understanding is that if you put weights
on the ends of a long fuselage and spin it there is a tendancy for it to end up
in a flat spin? please correct me if I have this...

Thermal right, land left by
John
This past year, I have stuck to a policy of making all thermal turns
to the right only.
The airport I fly out of has left turns in the pattern. My idea is I
am developing the habit of turning slow to the right only. All left
turns are made at higher pattern speeds.
With the condition I am just...
