Hello everyone, this is my first post. I am new to soaring and have acquired a glider with an LXNAV 8000 already installed. I noticed yesterday that the outside temperature (OAT) is incorrect by about 20 degrees F. I placed the probe in a bath of ice water and it read 50 degrees F and responded...

Good evening all, Has anyone experienced any problems with polarised sunglasses and LXNav PNA's? If so, could you kindly advise: - The model number - The installed orientation, and - What plane was the screen polarised in, horizontal or vertical? Many thanks! CJ

Hey guys im taking a computer science class on data structures and algorithms. I wanna do something glider related for my final project. I was thinking about trying to see if there is a pattern between average vario for a task and Xc speed. However, I have no clue how how to obtain such data from...

The HGFA sends out: A Lismore pilot and member of the Hang Gliding Federation of Australia, has set an Australian Hang Gliding record, soaring 500km to a declared goal over the spectacular Queensland outback – a total of 10 hours in the air. Reaching ground speeds of over 100km/hr, Scott...

Soaring from Worcester in the Western Cape, South Africa - we have some German visitors and Stefan Langer made this exquisite video - enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OOXvAbCUcc&feature=share

www.youtube.com/watch?v=abtj87wAX0Q Some good stuff in here. I wonder if the LAK 17 b is about to land gear up? They call the Antares cockpit "crash proof" not to sure about that.

What have you guys found to be the best "flight computer" app for a smart phone or tablet? Ive tried using iGlide for the iPhone (basic version), but it doesn't seem to have the functionality of a true flight computer where you can input a task, turn points, etc. Do I just need to upgrade to the...

JANUARY 2019 ISSUE The January issue will be mailed during the coming week. Printers, Christmas and Post Offices are not too accommodating at this time of the year. New Soaring Potential - A location for an easier 1000 metre flight has been found in South America and we have a story of the...

Hi, I'm looking for an port outer aileron for my Ventus b. Mine is split so I need one in good condition to replace it. I'm currently at Benalla for the season and would love to be able to fly my glider.

As a meteorologist contest pilot flying in the Western U.S., accurate winds for locating convergence zones are quite important. I'm looking to upgrade my small Discus 2a panel and would like get some reviews on the performance of these two vario/sensor families. * If winds seem to be better in...

On November 30th 2015, 45 pilots scored over 1000 points on OLC. 40 of those flights were distances "over 1000k". Jim

Hey all, I have noticed some gliders have what look like small fuel filters spliced into the tubing prior to avionics. I imagine this is a safeguard to dust, etc entering the avionics. Seems to make sense eventually what's outside is going to get inside.... However, is this necessary? I see a lot...

Anybody know what's happened to the Nixus project? No updates for 5 months now... https://www.facebook.com/NixusProject/

Does anyone know what size fuse (amps) should be used with a 302? I can't find it in the manual. http://www.bas.uk.net/docs/302_v2.pdf Thanks, Uwe

How does the water sealing system on a Cobra normally work? On the inside lower edge of each side there is a small trough. (A great place to store the TE probe, etc.) If I look closely, there are small high water marks in there. Also drain holes at the front and rear ends. (One of which was...

I thought some of the geezers of RAC might enjoy my most soaring video. It has scenes from both my recently acquired Libelle 201 as well as Morgan Hall's Duo Discus. Anyway enjoy the video and happy flying https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEUFdYWng4I Wyll
