Hi, At the local club there is a number of older Electronic Cambridge Varios hanging round. Some are supposed to be working but they have been pulled out and the wiring harness lost. They have a small multipin blue socket on the back, and a plain face with no switches or knobs. The model numbers...

I'm refurbishing a 2-32 and I'm planning to fly this big bird in our wave and was wondering what type of grease would not get stiff when it gets very cold?

OK, Ive not done one. Been checked out, approved and even go to the "all ready to break my outlanding virginity" stage during many flights -only to be saved by a low thermal or afternooon crop fire. So, outlanding is an interesting idea that I am sure to come to grips with soon enough, weather...

Hi there, Does anybody knows what happened to the John Leibacher's turnpoint database? I was trying to access it via link on Cumulus Soaring web site and then I did search on Google and all I found was information "NOT FOUND" Can anybody point me to the correct location of that database? I need to...

I followed the link and it does appear to be on. You are maybe looking at the wrong day? November 12th. Not tomorrow morning, but next Saturday morning. Don't return that tape to the neighbors just yet! Steve Leonard

Larry Goddard wrote: 'Probably OK. However, if you are really concerned, one option is to put a Schottky diode (of sufficient current capacity) in line. It will introduce approximately 0.5v of voltage drop over the whole range of supplied voltage.' Darn good idea, Larry. Even if you aren't...

November 11 2001 was the last time I stepped into a cockpit. It was the last time I was too broke to have a few "goodies". In honor of which I have made a $400 trip to the local model railroad shop. Which has also been about average per month. But I have something I can hold in my hands, not...

I have asked all members of the Minden Soaring Club to vote on a proposal to move all gliding to the East side of the airport, or to stay on the West side. Please visit the club's website www.mindensoaringclub.org, read the news and articles on the subject, and follow instructions on how...

Jeff: I bought an L33 as a my first glider 3 years ago and owned it for 1 year. It climbs nicely and it's performance at 33:1 is decent. Cockpit is very roomy. It was very easy to fly and to transition to from a 1-26. Brand new they are overpriced but you should be able to pick up a fairly nice...

I've got a Grob 102 Standard Astir III. The manual that came with the plane has one flight polar diagramed. The diagram contains flight polars for 3 different configurations of the G102. Because so many lines are drawn in close proximity to each other, its not a diagram that can be used for...

I am looking for a compaq PDA 1500 series. Thanks, Sam Giltner.

Complete with cables and manual. 920 can be upraded to a 921 for use with GPS and Winpilot. I believe the 910 can be used as a stand alone vario. Make an offer! Randy Cone (rconeco at yahoo.com) Colorado
