Oudie gear warning? by [email protected]
Hey all - I just acquired an original Oudie and I have noticed a gear warning in the profile setup. Not mentioned in the manual and the previous 2 owners do not know about it. I have not noticed it trying to get my attention in the pattern either. I will ask Naviter next unless youze can fill me in.

Soaring not compatible with modern society? by [email protected]
I'm wondering how much the modern reluctance to land out and desire for collision avoidance technology is driven by an underlying fear that if society knew about soaring, society would ban it. Granted no one wants to die or have anyone else die but we've been recreational flying for 100 years and...

Best club and commercial web sites by Vsoars
Which clubs and commercial operations have outstanding web sites that make people eager to give soaring a try? Out of date sites with pictures that don’t include recent improvements and photographs that are obviously from another decade can’t help us recruit members. Great web sites can. Please...

Beginner, Parachutes? by vic20owner
Dumb beginner question follows: I am just starting out flying gliders.... Here in the USA it seems nobody wears a parachute unless they are contest flying or doing aerobatics. However, I generally do like knowing that I have a backup plan and a parachute seems reasonable. I suppose a history...

Human factors RECKLESSNESS by private
My apologies to the Usenet police cross posting but I am in mourning for friends lost, and in sympathy for the families they left alone. This week we have seen behavior that can only be described as reckless.

Top Hat Question (XCSoar?) by [email protected]
I like Top Hat a lot. But as with an attractive woman who seems to fulfill all your wishes, things aren't quite perfect. And like most men, I just want to make one tiny change. It's driving me crazy. :) I need two screens: Circling screen: automatically displayed when I started to circle. Zoomed...

Ventus 2cx brake by BravoCharlie
Hi Pilots, I have a V2cxT that has the standard S-H disc brake that no longer works very well. I have been through the obvious fixes; pads, new fluid, bleed, etc. and haven't been able to bring it back up to original performance which was adequate but not stellar. I know a number of pilots have...

Which Way is That Thermal? by ContestID67
I was sent a link to a gadget some college engineers-in-the-making built. http://engenius.sece.rmit.edu.au/Abstracts/Page601.htm. It tries to detect which way a thermal is based on temperature differences between wing tips. Bright boys. I have two questions; 1) Have there been other gadgets...

Hi All, I'm doing some research for my local club, and one of the things I'd like to determine is how to increase the usage of our "glass" ships (Astir, Apis, and L-33 - yes I know the L-33 is metal). All are kept stored in trailers. These 3 ships (all in great condition) sit in their trailers,...
