Yesterday, George Applebay dropped by Sundance Aviation to fly. I provided the tow to 2,000 ft AGL and Billy Hill rode along in the back seat of the Grob. George did all the flying (and was up for about an hour) and came back with a wal-to-wall grin. Said it had been about 5 years since he'd...

Can anyone tell me who works on Becker radios in western US? Mine is in the process of crapping out.

Just curious if anybody on this forum knows who won the salvage bidding for the DG-505 that hit a fencepost in Colorado: http://www.aigaviation.com/aviationsalvage/salvagedetail.aspx?faano=N505KK It's cool if nobody wants to fess up, I'm just curious. That wing looks like it might be repairable,...

Hi All I currently fly a DG300 elan, built in '84, without winglets (s/n 3Exx) According to wikipedia the elan-built has winglets and a different airfoil (vs the original dg300). I can imagine back in the days the winglets were an option, but I'd like to figure out if the ship I fly has the new...

Among the many long flights at Ridge Soaring Gliderport yesterday, was a 595 km flight flown by 85 year old Bob Harvey in his LS-4. Bob also did very well at this year's Seniors contest at Seminole Lake Gliderport in Florida. Tom Knauff

Hi, Revell Germany has just released a new auxiliary-powered sailplane model kit - the LS-8t. I have them in stock. You can see details he http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/revell.htm#Revell-LS-8t Best Regards,

I've been looking at online manuals (I got the instruments second hand) and I can't find a way to delete the flight logs from the GPS logger. I've tried using See You and CAI.exe and can't find it. Is there a way to delete old flight logs or does the unit simply overwrite the oldest log when...

A good friend is considering buying a BirdDog for personal use and have the ability to tow. Anyone know just how strong a bird dog is as a towplane? Is it just as good as a pawnee? What was the rate of climb you had on tow and what type of ship were you in?

Our club is purchasing a Cessna 172 for a towplane. We have the Cessna drawings for the tow hitch installation. What we are looking for is an approved Form 337 for another aircraft that shows the inside release mechanism. If anyone has one that we could have a copy of it would be greatly...

While preparing ASW 28 serial 28048 for annual inspection I noticed wear on the brake caliper. The aft, upper, outer corner of the caliper had a bright wear mark and a significant amount of the caliper corner had been worn away. The was also wear on the upper caliper bolt head and the safety...

Hi, Does anyone have experience using as a tow plane a C-150 with a 180hp conversion? There is one on the market for a very good price. It has a tow hook and a STOL kit already installed. Obviously, a Pawnee would be the best choice. But, for 15-20K less, two seats and trike gear, it seems a like...

The annual Dust-Up event is just a few weeks away, but we still have space left for a few more pilots! Have you ever thought about entering a Soaring Contest, but have been afraid to try? Feel intimidated by a full contest, or feel that you cannot take an entire week off work to go fly? Want to...

This story has taken another interesting twist. I received an e-mail from Ales in response to a message I sent to him via segelflug.de where he has posted an ad selling off his assets for the LS4, LS4A, and LS4B. His response to my message claims that he has built the LS3 horizontal stabilizer and...
