AIR Avionics Digital Altimeter Question by Paul Remde
Hi, I have been receiving a fair amount of interest for the AIR Avionics "AIR Control Display with Altimeter functions" lately. I've heard it works great.. However, I haven't bought any for stock yet because I am very conservative when it comes to selling items in the USA. I only sell items that...

Cobra Trailer Bearings by [email protected]
I screwed up big time and burned the bearings on both wheels by leaving the brake on (I know, I'm getting forgetful). Wings and Wheels is out of the ALCO 1637 bearing sets and will not get any until mid August. Does anyone have two of these bearing sets? I need them early next week so that I can...

When gliders fail in flight, but pilots manage to land by son_of_flubber
Bruno Vassel recalls how the control stick broke off in a glider pilot's hand and how that pilot landed the aircraft safely (using rudder to turn and trim to control speed). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF0tTzvU8IM&t=411s Another favorite scenario is 'one spoiler stuck open'... the pilot opened...

Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems for Trailers by AS
Hi - all in Gliderland, I am picking up the subject of the tire pressure monitoring systems for trailers from another, unrelated thread.

skysight monthly subscription by Dave Springford
Can anyone answer this question? When buying a monthly skysight subscription, does it cover 30 days from the date of purchase or does it go to the end of the current month? i.e. if I buy it today, is it good until 31 July or 10 August?

club computer by kinsell
Curt, Next time you're at the airport, could you power cycle the computer underneath the desk in the backroom upstairs? Should start up automatically when power restored. I'm generally available in July to help with wings or whatever. Tnx Dave

washing the parachute's sheepskin pad by [email protected]
The Region One contest last week suffered hot humid weather and we sweated a LOT. The sheepskin (?) snap-on pad on my Softy long 'chute smelled really bad afterwards, so I hand-washed it in cold water with Woolite detergent. It's somewhat better now (takes forever to hang-dry!) but still smells...

Soaring rides in Tahoe by [email protected]
My wife and I are visiting Tahoe this Fall and considering a sailplane ride.. I've found TTSA and Soaring NV, perhaps there are more that offer rides. Anyone know these and can comment on whether one is better than the other or if there's a better option? Thanks.

Accelerated spin in unexpected direction at low altitude by [email protected]
There are three messages here Your glider may not always enter spin in the same direction you turn or circle. At high bank 50-60 degree in tight turn with high G load your upper wing may stall first.

Emergency Exit by Dan Marotta
Not to change Dave's thread on leaving the Arcus, I was intrigued by Francois' mention of the slippery cockpit floor in the front cockpit of the Numbus 4DM.Â* I've noticed that in most single seaters I've flown and I'm happy to say that my Stemme is fully carpeted to the forward bulkhead which...

Some of you have seen or read about the unique and clever hangar design at Omarama in NZ. On a visit more than a few years ago I examined them. And later I think I saw an article and/or pictures but can’t remember where. As a long retired Structural engineer, I promised to help a prominent...
