Used to have a Std Libelle and had to sell her. But getting back into flying and shopping for something new. SUPPOSE all things equal, condition, avionics, rigging tools, trailer type and condition etc. AND same price. Which would you rather have? Open or Std Cirrus? I fly east coast USA and...

Here is something that you might be able to do to improve glider safety for everybody (yourself included). Buy yourself a brand new variometer (you deserve it!). Give your old "perfectly good audible variometer" to a club, a commercial training operation, or one of those pocket-empty "first...

I thought it would be an interesting experiment to take an IGC trace and figure out rates of climb. That much was pretty easy. I took consecutive IGC file B-records and with just a little math I was able to determine the ft/min or meters/min climb rates*. I then thought it would be a good...

Hi all, I'm selling a full set (wings, fuse, tail) of Jaxida covers for a Libelle to support my contest ambitions for the upcoming season. They are 5 years old and in very good shape, no UV or moisture damage and no rips. They haven't been used in the last 2 years I'm asking US $1000 +...

Several years ago, we made templates along the leading edge of a popular standard class sailplane . The particular sailplane was a winner. It was shocking to compare the left and right wing contours with these templated. Close? Not at all. But the sailplane went very well. Then we did the same on...

Where and when? Thanks, 5U

I had an AV-5 that worked well but fell victim to the trees overhanging our neighborhood streets. I'm wondering if anyone has experience using a longer antenna without a ground plane on a fiberglass RV. Or perhaps there's an antenna similar to the AV-5, but with a flexible base? ~ted/2NO

I cannot get a valid OLC flight out of my SN-10b. I purchased the glider a few months ago, have flown a few flights and all are invalid on OLC. Prior to download the SN-10 security routine runs and approves the file. OLC tells me the file error message on his end says Signature Missmatch and he...

Im curious as to how many "busy" operations there are in the US. and how busy is busy? Anyone out there training more than 5 students a month? that would be pretty incredible I think. check out www.xwindsim.com I talked with Brad about adapting his sim to teaching aerotow and it seemed to him...

I have bought my first glider and picking it up saturday. It's registered in Germany but doesn't have a competition number, how are they chosen? Where can you register one?

I know that Vne can vary with altitude but does it also vary with aircraft weight?
