I'm going to start making a wing wheel for the Cherokee here shortly. I have some 9 oz glass cloth and some fiberglass resin from advance auto parts. I'm curious how many layers of glass those of you who have done it used?

Guys, I have a Cambridge CAV 11 audio vario, the vario works great but I have no audio. When I open the case there is a speaker connected to the pc board via a small harness. above that connection there is a 3 prong jumper. Does this have anything to do with shutting the audio off? I could use a...

Besides the LW and other more expensive data loggers, are there any other loggers available that can be used for UK BGA badge claims? Cheers Rob

Another "jet" in the news today in Arizona. Yves Rossy, the Swiss guy who has small wings with jets attached to his back, who drops out of a helicopter, starts the engines and flies around using his body and arms for control, and then lands under parachute, had planned a "flight" over the Grand...

I have heard that just dance 2 video game is really very good in reducing weight. Have you played it ?

I'm trying to make sense of the weight and balance section in the ASK-21 manual but having no success. They give an equation for r sub R, which I assume is the empty CG, but it's not specifically called out. The units don't balance; there is length on one side of the equation and length squared...

Just curious as to how it's done elsewhere. I fly at a commercial operation and the priority for launch always goes to the school gliders....this makes sense...the student has scheduled for a specific time days in advance.... Next come the renal ships and glider rides and they too have been...

I haven't flown in any contests yet, but I'm wondering................to be safe and competent, how many hours or flights would be prudent to have under my belt before I went out and flew my first contest of the season? Thanks, Brad

This post is primarily aimed at Utah and New Mexico pilots who may have had their Flight Logs messed up by current and ongoing GPS Testing. Did Any Utah glider pilots see any affects from the GPS Testing (NOTAM ACC GPS 11-07) done at Wendover, UT from 4/28/11 to 5/13/11? Have any Moriarty, NM...
