Quick search on R.A.S. didn't turn up a prior thread, so... Is there a source where I can get NAM, GFS, RAP/RUC archived data/soundings? I want to go back and look at the model sounding for a flight from a few years back. Thanks to all you weather geeks. Erik Mann (P3)

In light of the proposal to allow electronic devices in the cockpit, thought I give an update on this app. I listened to a presentation of the developer recently at American Meteorological Society (AMS) convention (early January...

Hi all, I am refurbishing a Komet trailer. The wing fittings have plastic rods to hold the spar end - I have always assumed this is "delrin" but of course when I look into what is available there are a zillion plastic types! What is the best choice? Or does it not really matter as long as it's...

I bought this variometer for Christmas to install it in my current glider, but since then I took advantage of an opportunity to upgrade my glider and I will not be installing this unit. The price is significantly below current pricing at $3100. Andrzej

Other than eBAY, where can one post glider items FS? It would be an abuse of rec.aviation. JMF

Hi. Anyone prepared to undead a dead MicroAir 760 radio for me. I think it is the internal fuse but I may be wrong. Based East Anglia.

My Volkslogger thinks it is 1995. I was planning to send my volkslogger back to Germany for repair with Air Avionics but the Shipping back is about 50 Euros. They suggest sending multiple units at once to share the shipping costs. Does anyone else want to ship a unit with me from US and split...

NM Tourism Department added this gliding video to their site. Not bad! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WWnUtniqPE&list=PLBulHKwa2OWcOIGKkdVNU8-BkC1_Lk7BY&index=1

Yesterday I upgraded my Oudie to v6.11 and my V7 to v4.97 The Oudie is connected to the V7, and the V7 is connected to the flarm brick. I tried to access log files on the flarm via SeeYou's ConnectMe on the Oudie, but it failed as usual. It always recognizes the flarm device and is able to read...

Can find information on hang/para gliding in Bulgaria, but only information on gliding is a long time in the past- believe the Womens European championships where held there at one time and there where gliding clubs at one time - but can't find any current information. Is there any current...

Check out www.windyty.com It will be interesting to see if its forecasts are accurate enough for ridge soaring. One nice feature is that you can change the altitude for the forecast (lower right side) to get predictions for ridge height in your area. -John, Q3

Hello to all and happy holidays! Does anyone have a line on East to West glider transport? Please email any leads to blakeseese at gmail dot com Thanks, Blake Seese (formerly 9V)

I have seen some wonderful videos made with GoPros stuck on the outside of gliders. Does the FAA have anything to say about the legality of such externally mounted cameras on aircraft certificated as other than experimental?

I have a homemade set of Std. Libelle rigging aids. I believe one person can assemble using them. I am willing to let them go to a good home for the cost of shipping. (Might be expensive - some of the parts are big.) Otherwise they go to the dump. Reply to Thanks, Roger

Our club has a Grob that needs the Mylar replaced. Does or should the Grob 103 have internal Teflon tape seals in addition to the standard Mylar and safety tape? Any other tips for this process? Or anything else we should consider doing while we are in there? Thanks!
