I love my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.9.5) and SeeYou (6.17) running in Windows emulator VM Fusion (6.0.5), but I've never been able to get natural looking terrain in 3-D mode, either running the animation or stopped. I have both vector and raster maps installed for the areas of my flight traces - the 2-D...

Hi all in Glider-Land! Does anyone have a good number for how long it takes or the FLARM Core to boot up? Background: I am trying to update my Butterfly 57mm round display to the latest revision. The instructions say to connect the USB stick with the update file to the FLARM port, push and hold the...

Hi all, I am looking for a Discus B or CS to buy. I'm familiar with the current listings on W&W and want to beat the bushes a bit to see what else might be available. I'm in east TN and hoping to find something within a reasonable distance (i.e., 10ish hour drive), and not looking for a project...

In the most recent edition there is an article focused on the newer wing-fuselage junction designs. On page 5 there is a picture of a sort of gull wing design at the root and its identified as an Mu 31. On the following page there are three more pics of an Mu 31 that, to my eye, look nothing like...

I am attempting to re-instal a tow release onto a Cessna 180with a previous STC instalation. I need a copy of drawing # 814 from the old Javelin STC. Does anyone have this or know where I can find 1? Mitch

Hi All, I built a cable for My Power FLARM portable according to the drawing on the Tech Tips portion of the ClearNav site but The CN does not connect to the Flarm. I have a cable tester and the cable checks good. I've tried baud rates from 19.2 to 57.6K and still no luck. I also spoke with...

Here we go with "compulsory" again. When will the safety nazis get out of soaring and let those of us be who enjoy the sport without the constant whining of the pussies who don't feel "safe" without some electronic gizmo to lead them down the shining path. I saw on the news last night about...

I ordered a gas strut for a fixed panel ASW-20, the new 700N strut does not fit. The new strut has a shorter distance from the bolt hole to the shoulder of the cylinder. Any suggestion where I can get one that fits. Thank You, Sean

hello! can someone help me with the scheme to build a connecting cable between the logger and a PNA USB humming? Thanks

Just filled out and submitted the 2012 SSA Pilot survey. The first time I clicked on the 'Submit' button, a message was displayed that said my submission was NOT recorded, which freaked me out a bit. Fortunately there was a link in the error message that took me back to the survey form, and a...

Like many in the competition community, I'd occasionally been critical of the SSA staff in the past not so much for not understanding what we competition pilots do (sometimes it doesn't even make sense to me) but for their apparent lack of interest even when we had contests across the road from SSA...

I had an ASW-24 for some 10 years but the landing flaps on the ASW-27B take my breath away. Truly powerful and make my all too frequent outlandings less exciting. For that I am grateful. But I would defer to UH since he has owned both with more time than I.

Dear List , I don't usually post here , but I want to pass along my experience with the SSA car donation program . I had an old Ford Explorer that I used as an airport car and tow rig .
