Does any body have the BGA UK turnpoit list in .da4 format, or do you know where I can download it. The SAA site does not have that format available. Thanks.

Does anyone have information on the glider port near Westcliffe Colorado? I could not find it on the SSA places to fly list. Thanks! John John Earlywine _|_ ------------()----------- Fort Wayne, IN

FYI for any of you folks headed to Hobbs with a dog and staying at the Hampton Inn....they have changed their policy from the time that we made a reservation (several months ago) to today i.e. NO PETS. Pretty much sucks to get such late notice re this. No more Hampton Inn visits for this...

We'll be paying $40/tow and provide room at local college dorm and shared vehicle for transportation.We'll pay for your fuel to get here. This is a last minute situation that developed...

I would like to ask the owners of Cobra trailers with the under trailer storage drawer on the pro's and con's. Is it worth installing or more of a headache than anything? Brian MB1

Does anyone know how or where I could contact either Derek Sear or his boyfriend? I moved to Oz in the early 90's and have lost contact with them. Please feel free to mail me. Cheers Ian

Anyone know what's going on at Hobbs? This morning I received an email saying that SSA is now mangement for the contest and the link to the 2004 Std Nats seems to have been removed from the NSF website. Please send me a private email if there is something that should not be aired here. Andy

This is a fork of the Cobra trailer brake thread. I encountered an unnerving situation a couple of weeks ago. I was backing my Komet trailer into a new parking position near my house. This required moving the trailer less than 15 feet slightly uphill. For such a short move, I didn't think the...

Years ago when I was Mac based, there was a great game where you had to fly a paper airplane through a house, using air vents for lift, avoiding fans and other heinous objects. On a whim, I did a quick search hoping for a Windows based version. Alas, no luck...but if you have a Mac, this is a...

Good weather on the 12 hour forecast became bad weather on the 9 hour forecast. Even worse in the cockpit. See the forecast maps. http://www.geocities.com/jgere34/12hrforecast.doc (167kB) It's enough to make me wish for validation statistics on soaring forecasts of various durations.

Any one out there got the pinout for the AERO 1520 serial port connector? I have looked but can't find it in the archives. Tia Jon

Hi ! The european regulation precise that "gliders with a structural mass of less than 80 kg when single seater or 100 kg when two seater, including those which are foot launched" shall stay under national responsibility, so to say, out of EASA. Could someone tell me what are Regulations for...

My LS-6 gear collapsed and now will not lock down or up. Has any other LS-6 drivers had this happen? What's the fix? I had the glider on the trailer cradle for assembly and lowered the gear. I think the cradle was a little too low and the gear contacted the ground prior to the mechanism locking...

I need math help with a spreadsheet. I want to enter 1: Wind Direction 2: Wind speed 3: Desired track of the glider 3: Speed made good by glider in still air. I want to solve for 1: Glider heading 2: Speed made good of glider along desired track. I would appreciate any help form anyone...

I had a problem downloading a log from my 302 last Sunday (June 13). Several attempts to download with utility 3UT15255 gave a transfer or communication error (don't remember which). Still didn't work after reset the PDA and power cycing the 302. I verified that MC exchange was working with the...

Ever had the sensation that you are flying way too fast for your landing? It happens when you see objects coming by the cockpit, going way too fast for a normal landing. When does this happen? Well, when you're landing down-wind or when you forgot to put the flaps down. I have done both and got a...

(CO2ID) wrote in message ... It's been awhile since I have crewed but I have the drill down pat. Every pilot seems to want to do the simplest of things differently from the next guy. Having a crew that is intimate with the...

An excerpt from the Operating Limitations for the Exhibition and Air Racing Airworthiness Certificate for my Experimental glider has the following wording: 31. All proficiency/practice flights must be conducted within the geographical area described in the applicant's program letter and...

While working recently on a Java program to combine and geographically filter turnpoints from multiple .CUP files, I noted that when I use SeeYou to convert from .CUP to .DA4 (for Filser/LX Nav products) format, the turnpoint names get truncated to 8 characters and all uppercase. This presents name...
