Tom BravoMike
An early-season accident in Germany yesterday (Feb. 27, 2021), with a happy outcome: an ASK-21 ends up hanging among trees close to the Burg Feuerstein Airfield (Bayern); no injuries to the pilot reported.

Vintage Pfieffer trailers? by
[email protected]
To anyone whom can help,
I just acquired a DG101g a few weeks ago, and when the a-hole left, he did not give me the keys. When asked he said he put them in the front of the trailer, but nothing there, and claims they are not in his pockets.

Shaun Wheeler
Now that it's passed it's annual I'm curious if there's a conversion kit for hydraulic brakes? Has anybody in the US done one? I see at least two kits (not aircraft specific) on W&W from Tost but haven't come up with much else. If there's already an approved EASA version of this it'd really be...

bluetooth" ? There are similar products way much cheaper around now.

Time to clean out your closet, or panel... by

Seems like from recent posts some are doing just that. I don't have
near 2k to dump on a finiky, last century technology mech vario, that
self destructs in a 25 k dive (Ask me how I know)
BUT, if you have a Ball 700 or 400 series vario, with a working audio.
