I've got a friend who is selling a Monerai. We've all heard of the never ending Monerai projects getting passed from person to person but this is a fine example of a well built FLYING Monerai, the motorglider version. Email me for more information on the glider and contact info for the...

Unless you are closely watching the daily weather and know it trends, a lot of good soaring days are never taken advantage of. For those who watch the weather, they are rewarded with some great soaring. Oh how I wish that I could have joined all of the ridge flights last week out if Pennsylvania...

RAS, I'm really excited to have two of my students heading out to Reno in July for the WSPA Women's Soaring Seminar. One is my wife, Leah, who many of you met at the SSA Convention in Little Rock. She should be soloed by then. The other is Summer Gajewski, a High School Senior, who graduates...

I joined AOPA hoping to get some help with the problems we're having here with our airport management, but they were absolutely no help at all, so I'm letting my membership expire. I cannot believe the tactics they use to keep me onboard! If they had only spent half of that energy helping me, I...

Does anyone have to sell a used (or new) Schweizer Tow Release Handle and it's mounting bracket? Apparently, Schweizer no longer has them in stock and will not be making them. They used to sell complete kits. I need one for my Super Cub. Already have the tow hook and its...

I heard an unsubstantiated rumor to the effect that the Ionia meet (U.S. Region 6 North) was going to be cancelled this year. I called Benz Aviation and spoke to Tony Smit directly, and he assured me the Ionia meet was going to go as scheduled May 31 - June 5 with a practice day on May 30. Frank...

http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2010/05/gallery-clouds/all/1 As a glider pilot, I tend to look up at the clouds more than I look at the ground, and find them fascinating even when I'm not flying. A friend of mine sent me this link and it's amazing. Large scale patterns are readily visible when...

What are the hardware requirements for See You PNA? Would an X400 processor running CE5.0 work. Will it work as well as the pda version? Bob

Anyone got good advice on building a fiberglass wing cuff? I realized last week that I really need to get rid of the metal wing stands with sharp corners waiting to punch holes in my Ka-6 wings. So far my plan was to mold the cuffs on the wing using west systems epoxy. The question I have is what...

I'll bet everyone knows about the RIGID, Flip Top, Portable Work Stations available from Home Depot. Stable, sturdy and extendable. Price is only $30 on line...plus shipping. Anyone have any "Issues" with these stands? GA
