Anyone else having this problem?

Working on an LS-3 project. Lost the wing pins and need replacements if anyone has a set to spare. Also need to source the internal seals between the wing and flaperons. Anyone got any leads?

Looks like new interesting project for storing IGC flights. I think prehistoric OLC needs some fresh blood competition. WiFi download of flights straight from LX computers again this summer?

Yikes! Eating my lunch, finished the Journal, opened latest AvWaste, and there's a picture of JP! Dropped my sandwich! A new appointment at electra.aero! Do we now address him as James? JP? Or just Sir? Enquiring minds want to know. See ya, Dave

I randomly came across this (very grainy) video on TikTok -- a commercial for a 1976 Camaro, featuring a glider. https://www.tiktok.com/@rweldon122266/video/6917783950542867717?lang=en Does anyone remember seeing this back in the day? Also, does anyone know who the pilot was, and where this was...

Thought about this event recently. Beautiful fall Sunday afternoon in '89, Fremont, CA. I'd earned solo privs for a SGS 2-33, building up time towards the flight test. The 49ers were playing at home, someone is flying passengers around the SF Bay in an ex-Fuji blimp. I hear it's not cheap. ...

The sport of soaring is, of course, a relatively small community and what might impact our suppliers and dealers can affect us all. Curious as to how the US and non-US suppliers have fared so far during the pandemic. In any case, may 2021 bring them a better New Year!

A friend just picked up a new Oudie for Christmas. It is the new revision (picture of the Oudie on a background of clouds on upper half of screen, what was on the second page of the old version underneath). There is no obvious method of changing volume on the home screen, where before, it was at...
