And Speaking of Side Tone by Dan Marotta
Maybe someone on this board can offer a solution. The Pawnee I fly when towing has side tone so loud that it's ear splitting. I have to wear ear plugs under the headset to protect against the pain caused by the side tone volume. The radio is a Terra with gas discharge display and flip-flop...

AR 4201 low volume on receiving side by Alexander Swagemakers[_2_]
I have purchased a used Becker AR 4201 and installed it in my glider. Reception is fine. On transmission the signal volume is very low on the receiving side. Even though the voice is clear, it is hardly understandable because of the low volume. I tried making some changes to the configuration to no...

USB Serial Converters - Reliable one for SN10 and Volkslogger by WaltWX[_2_]
FYI, recently I upgraded my notebook to Windows 7 64bit. I've found a good reliable USB serial convertor that works "out of the box" on Windows 7 even the 64 bit version. USB to Serial Adapter - Mini PRO -...

LX Navigation Colibri - Overheating? by Papa3[_2_]
Has anyone ever had their Colibri shut down due to overheating? This is an earlier Colibri (pre-SD Card). It was REALLY hot today (over 100F with lots of direct sun), so it was quite an extreme test of electronics... P3

Who bought ASW-12 S/N 12015? by [email protected]
I'm just wondering what the new owner has planned for this historic ship. If I had more than $1.97 to my name I would have tried to get her for myself!

US Power FLARM Antennas by Andy[_1_]
The data sheet for the PFBrick FLARM TX/RX and PCAS/ADS-B antennas can be found here : http://www.linxtechnologies.com/resources/data-guides/ant-916-mhw-xxx-x.pdf One has to wonder if an antenna tuned for 915MHz is the best choice for PCAS/ADS-B. Maybe that antenna would be best used as the...

Chapstick In Water Dump Valves by Dan Marotta
On Sunday, returning from a flight, I pulled the wing dump lever in my LAK-17a (the tail tank was already dumping) and it didn't feel like both valves opened. I carried some extra speed through the landing and, after stopping, the left wing went down. A friend on the ground later confirmed...

Where are all the glider ads? by Duster
I am looking into buying a used single-place glider (38:1) but am having difficulties in finding many ads for them. Soaring Mag used to have many, many pages of glider adverts, but now usually publishes less than a single column. I know about Wings and Wheels and the SSA classifieds, but are there...

CCSC Region 6 South Contest Days 2 and 3 by N11rdbird
Day Three – Contest Day 2 As can be seen from yesterday’s scores, we had one finisher in each class and enough distance by others to make it a devalued day. So day one of the contest is in the bag. This morning the sun was shining early and the forecast offered us a good day of flying. Yes, Frank’s...

Looking for a hassle-free way to evaluate FAI badge and record claims? Try Claim Check. It "knows" Sporting Code rules, so the user needn't tweak myriad settings or edit the task to deal with instances when a declared Start or Finish Point was skipped, a Turn Point was used out of declared order or...

Winscore finish cylinder setup by kirk.stant
I'm learning how to setup Winscore for a local club fun contest. So far it makes sense, but setting up the Finish Cylinder is a bit confusing. How do I set it up for a 500' agl min finish height? The finish settings have settings for the Top and Base of the Finish Gate Cylinder, both in ft...

L-23 Side Vents by Peter von Tresckow
Quick Question. Are the vent scoops on the L-23 made by Mecaplex? The fornt scoop on ours is busted, and I am loking for a replacement. I see that Tim carries the Mecaplex part, but before dropping $150 on an air scoop I'd like to be sure it'll fit. Thanks Pete

Two Sticks by Evan Ludeman[_4_]
I'm really kicking myself for leaving my camera in my car... Yesterday I didn't feel like rushing to finish a glider project, so elected to do my club mates a favor and tow. Just playing my part in the "vast high wing conspiracy" (ask Gregg Ballou about that). It was a beautiful soaring day. ...
