Does anybody have a drawing or picture of the torsion linkage used to drive the ailerons in early Ventus or the rudder in Libelle ? Or can tell me what that's called ? Thanks ! Best Regards, Dave PS: It was used to avoid external bellcranks, with their associated fairings and drag. It's

I will be out in Minden, NV this weekend to pick up a glider. I want to get new tires installed on the Cobra trailer before my drive home. Would somebody please recommend where in the local area I can go to get new tires? Randy Tulsa, OK rgteel at mac dot com

A Cobra trailer has been parked outside the fence, on a public street, at the local airport for the last two weeks. Not normal to see glider trailers at this "in the big city" airport. Is someone missing a trailer? Unknown if there is a glider inside, trailer is marked "Ventus 2" with "00" contest...

Hi All, I'm aware of and use the math formula to get my rental Cirrus back to home base, but I like to back it up with SeeYou mobile. I know it's recommended to use required LD to target making sure you have entered a correct polar and safety altitude. But this doesn't account for winds does it?...

We see a few pilots in this discussion who have admirably bought a Club Class glider specifically to compete in Club Class. Some have no other glider. What an awful thing to scold them. Sean, great flight at the Dust Devil Dash in weak conditions, by the way. I had a great time working at the...

The threads on the Blanik AD and Club Training Gliders made me wonder about the make-up of the UK fleet. A quick search of the UK civil register produced the following numbers: ASK13 101 aircraft ASK21 73 Duo Discus 45 G103 29 Puchacz 27 DG500 22 K7 17

Hi I have a 20 year old electronic vario from LX in my glider. It does what it should be doing very well in my opinion. But I never fly with any other vario. I see many new vario, LX,Tasmann, Westerboer... and so on. Is there technical progress that make my 20 year old vario obsolete and justify...

O.K. All the questions are perfectly good and loking to gain insight fromthe racing community. But there are some glaring omissions to the overall content of the Poll - For instance: 1) What should happen to the scores of pilots involved IN a midair? Under international rules (I beleive) the...

Compaq Aero 1500 Pocket PC - Used I have purchased a few of these classic and valuable Pocket PCs from customers that traded up to other devices. Many glider pilots still love this old PDA because its black and white display is easier to read in sunlight than newer color PDAs. Glide Navigator...
