Discovery HD Channel is airing a special on Steve Fossett next Monday at
10PM eastern 7PM PST. They took footage of my Husky flying along the eastern
flank of the Sierra, as it's blue and white and "sort of like" the plane
Steve was flying.
For the interview part, I got them to set up with one...

STF question by
Ramy
We know flight computers are taking into account the polar, MC setting
and the current sink/lift to determine the speed to fly, but AFAIK
they don't (or at least my 302 doesn't) take into account the head/
tail wind component. As such, they will often command too slow speed
when flying in headwind,...

STF question by
Brad[_2_]
I am using an oldeer Ilec SB-8 STF vario system, am very happy with it
and absolutely love the vario function (been an Ilec user for many
years) but in my Tetra-15 I am finally using a STF system, and have a
few questions.
Since this unit does not use GPS info , when I am in a headwind...

Stick grip loose - help how do I attach it properly? by
Johan Pretorius
Hi all,
Our club has a Single Astir CS Jeans - and the stick grip is getting looser by the day.
What is the right way to attach it? I could use superglue, but then it's impossible to remove it ever again, e.g. to work on the PTT cable.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Johan

Sticking altimeter by
Kenn Sebesta
My altimeter in my AC-5M is sticking. It works fine when the engine is on or when you tap on the window, but otherwise when gliding it gets stuck up to 100' worth. I suspect that a rebuild will cost as much as a new one will, so I'd rather go the route of fixing it myself (or replacing it with...

Sticking winter vario by
Ian Reekie
I have a 10+ year old 57mm Winter vario that has just started sticking when
it reaches its full positive deflection. A gentle tap on the glass
releases the needle.
I guess it will need a trip to Winter this winter (no joke intended).
Out of curiosity, does anyone know what causes this sticking...

Stiff rudder by
Steve Freeman
My SZD 55 has a very stiff rudder. When the cables are disconnected it
moves easily. One suggestion has been that maybe the tubes the cables
ride in are full of dirt and contaminants and that cleaning them will
solve the problem. I remembered reading about someone replacing their
cables with a...

My Ventus bT is still for sale. It really shouldn't be just sitting in the trailer in the hanger. I'd really like to see it find a new home before the new year. I'm selling because I already bought a different glider. So, while I have it listed at $65k on wings and wheels, make me a offer and...
