I made a couple of flights yesterday with a new setup that links a PowerFLARM brick (2.79/3.1/Flarmnet loaded) to an SN10B (2.37, PDA, FLARM, 19200 selected) passing Flarm, GPS, and vario data to an Oudie2. All worked exactly as expected EXCEPT that randomly during flight, at irregular intervals,...

Any CFIG's within a days drive of Buffalo, NY willing to give a ground launch endorsement. I've found an airport that will let me auto- launch of their 5600 ft runway. This seems to be preferable to 2.5+ hr drives to reasonable glider clubs. TIA 2C

Is there any soaring going on at Willis Gliderport in Boynton Beach FL these days? -- Mike Schumann -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

In a recent thread it was asserted that it was possible to get sport pilot airplane privileges without taking a knowledge test and flight test if the pilot held a private glider rating. For some reason I cannot see that thread. I had doubts that this was true and followed up with AOPA. The text...

Hello all, Just a note to let you know that I am posting informal reports about flying in St. Auban, France at the World Sailplane Grand Prix at www.susanmcallister.blogspot.com instead of the usual U.S. Team website.

Hi, A customer has asked me to help him sell his used Cambridge Aero Instruments CAF-302A GPS flight recorder. This unit is the version that does NOT include a variometer or speed-to-fly director. The customer purchased this unit from me (new) on July 1, 2005 - so it is only a few months old. ...

Happy holidays all: A project for me this Winter is to upgrade my ballast system on my PIK-20. I have two questions and would appreciate any assistance. (1) One of my bags has a single pinhole leak and I wonder if this can be repaired in a reliable manner. The material seems to be a thick...

Pilots on the US competition ranking list will (or have) be receiving a request for donations to the SRA. The return address envelope was supposed to be to the SRA Treasurer (Roy McMaster) but something went astray and the SSA office became the destination. If you wish to send your check directly...

If anyone knows where I could find either a complete frame AND plexi canopy for the rear cockpit of a Twin Astir (not Twin II) I'd appreciate the help. Our Canadian Freedoms Wings program for paraplegic pilots is at a standstill as we've broken our rear canopy. Its a frustrating position to be in...

Does anyone know if it is possible to get a European pilot's license based on a US license? If so, what does it take? Is there only paperwork, or is a checkride involved? Regards,

This week I had the pleasure to fly with a couple of freshly minted 2nd Lt.'s from the US Air Force Academy class of 2006. They were converting their glider time from the USAFA soaring program to civilian CFIG's. To say this young lady and gentleman are "good sticks" would be an understatement. ...

Currently, the El Paso Soaring Society operates from West Texas Airport, just southeast of El Paso, Texas. The future of the airport is uncertain, and we are starting to consider new homes. One of the options is to operate south of the Rio Grande. The Chihuahuan desert and surrounding...
