Euro vs Contrafund, or how to buy a glider (affordably) by [email protected]
On Nov. 15, 2004 I posted a message suggesting that you invest your money in a mutual fund with an excellent track record (i.e. Fidelity Contrafund) and wait until your $70K initial investment grows to match the current price of the glider. Here is an update on that strategy: Euro: $1.2944...

LX1000 Wiring Diagram by Luke Roberts
Does anyone have a manual, or wiring diagram for the Avionic Dittel LX1000 vario. I have one with various wires hanging off it, but some have been cut off. A simple numbered chart for the 15 pin (DB15) plug would be fine. Thanks, Luke

Colibri Failures. by Stan Kochanowski
Martin, I had a similar problem with my old GR1000. This was due to (rechargable) internal battery failure - which needed to be topped up regularly - every month in practice. The Colibri has a Lithium internal battery which 'will need to be replaced after several years'.

Finish Gate Accident no. 2 by Justin Craig
As a pilot who practices high speed low finishes, I think that attention needs to be drawn to the fact that 85knots is simply not fast enough when finishing at 50 ft. At that speed, the height gained from a pull is not going to be enough to complete a safe circuit. I would agree that this low...

Winter Mech Vario Bezel by Mike Hostage
I want to mount a Winter mechanical vario in my glider. It has a bezel ring around the face that is wider than the standard 3 1/8' diameter of the face. Anyone have a clue as to how to remove the bezel, so the instrument can be mounted to the panel? I don't see any obvious keys/slots/or breaks in...

Hydration/Dehydration/'Overhydration'. by Stan Kochanowski
Gentlefolk, You need to be careful with rehydration - especially in tropical climes. Your body loses salt as well as water when you sweat and if you replace only with pure water, eventually you will develop 'water intoxication'. This is, actually, not easy to achieve in a few hours

Hydration/Dehydration/'Overhydration'. by Stan Kochanowski
Mike, I am not aware of this theory - which does not, in the least, mean that it does not exist - especially now that I am no longer current in Medicine. However, sodium is, predominantly, an extracellular ion (potassium is predominantly intracellular) - which makes it relatively easy to lower...

The SZD dealer from Canada, the Windpath Corp. is attempting to sell brand new SZD48-3 Jantar Std. 3. The deal is that Jantar is a excellent Sport Class glider. I think at this point and time the price is above 30,000 Euros but if the Windpath could find couple more buyers the price will go under...

When you have the chance, you just gotta do Perry sometime, somehow, someyear. The Perry Soaring group has about 7 members. They put on a very well run show. The meals, the folks, along with all the camp fire talk make Perry a must. Practice day saw some good weather. Lift was 3-4 kts., and some...
