The Apology by
[email protected]
Recently there was an apology issued from the SSA and the SSF and Editor for a so called offensive interpretation of the depiction of a historical portrayal of a young lady and a glider pilot on a previous edition of Soaring magazine. After reading the complaints from the women associated with the...

That Crazy Canadian by
Dan Marotta
For those of you who use something like Thunderbird to read RAS, I just
created a junk filter so that I never have to see his rants again. It
was as simple as stating the condition: If From conatins the first part
of his email address delete the message. All gone.

Replacement axle for Eberle trailer by
5Z
A friend just had the axle break on his Eberle trailer. Any thoughts on an easy swap? Or should he rent a flatbed to get it home then take his time to replace it?
He's about 50 miles inside Virginia on I-81 on his way to the DC area.

ASW-24 brake fluid reservoir by
Larry Ruggiero
Anyone have a source for the squarish plastic reservoir? One of our club’s members has one that developed a crack and leaks. It looks to be about 3-4oz capacity. Might otherwise have to adapt something non-standard if it’s not directly replaceable. Thanks...
Larry Ruggiero, Carolina Soaring...

Gliding Club Experiences by
Patrick
Hello Gliders,
I wanted to make this post to see other pilots experiences at their local gliding clubs. My experience at my local gliding club is so-so, speaking as a young soon to be solo pilot, because of organisational management.
My friend and I have been quite frustrated due to extreme...

Winter ASI Repair in US? by
Papa3[_2_]
I see a couple of old threads suggesting that Winter ASIs need to go back to Germany for repair and recalibration. One of the ASIs in our Grob 103 is reading 8-10kts low vs two known good units. Anyone had any luck with a shop in the US? Otherwise, it's off the the Fatherland with this...

Blanik L-13 by
Boise Pilot
Like about 300 US Blanik L-13 sailplane owners, I have a ship that will probably never fly again. Just trying to find out what other owners are doing with their hangar queens. I know of one where the owners took it apart, separating the aluminum from the steel for sale to metal recyclers. From...

Trying to Reach Markus Graeber by
Paul Remde
Hi,
I received 2 Oudie units in the mail which appear to be from Markus Graeber.. I suspect he wants them upgraded or repaired. He bought them from me in 2010 and they have his name in the logger screen. But the return address on the package is unreadable, and no contact data was included. The...

Browser accessed airport camera by
Eric Greenwell[_4_]
I'd like to use a webcam to view the weather at the airport I fly from, particularly for wave
days; unfortunately, the official airport webcam looks down at the runways and ramp instead of
up at the clouds. I want to install a viewer-controllable pan/tilt (and maybe zoom) webcam that
can be...

Sticking altimeter by
Kenn Sebesta
My altimeter in my AC-5M is sticking. It works fine when the engine is on or when you tap on the window, but otherwise when gliding it gets stuck up to 100' worth. I suspect that a rebuild will cost as much as a new one will, so I'd rather go the route of fixing it myself (or replacing it with...
