Several "first of the year" flights in my new ASK-21 in thermals to 8,500' msl. (Marfa airport is almost 5,000' msl.) Beautiful Lennies 100 miles north over Guadalupe Peak on the New Mexico - Texas state border.

Finally I hear about a logbook software which can create logbook entries from an IGC file. Is it available without purchasing the flight recorder for those who already have a flight recorder? Thanks, Ramy

I've been trying to find anything on the www that shows how to access the pivot bolt that secures the air brake bell crank that is located in the air brake box on an ASK21. I've had no luck. Does anyone else have any pointers? Thanks

Hi, The book "Sailplane Design" by Vittorio Pajno is finally in print again. It was out of print for a year or so. It was a very popular book. I have copies on the way to me that should arrive in about 2 weeks. You can see details...

Anyone have experience exporting a glider (especially to Argentina) and getting one of these? Was it difficult to deal with the FAA?
