Is there any value to iGlide (iOS app) if you don't have their sensor / vario hardware? What features remain?

I'm looking for a few replacement screws for access panels on my Blanik L33 Solo. The screws are M4x14 hex heads. The odd part: They are a very low oval head and the countersink taper is about 120 degrees. They are much like countersunk rivets (same angle). I have been quoted by the factory with a...

Cheap gap tape. Not as good as the more expensive tape but works well if you assemble and dis-assemble daily. White (slightly off white), approximately 1 inch wide. Standard size small role. $40 for 40 post paid in the US.

Has anyone flown behind one of these? http://www.dittel-avionik.de/en/content/gca-glider-computer-advanced Mark

Just noticed this feature. Very nice. No idea what the new "Advanced" view is, just pesters me to send money. May or may not be a year since sending the last installment. Jim

I bought a Mountain High O2-D1 flowmeter last year as a replacement for a personal one that had gone missing. I used it one time, then found my old one. It has all the parts that come with this unit (cannula, mask, bag, etc..) BUT NO TANK REGULATOR and is ready to go. Since I bought it Mountain...

Does anybody know an easy trick to install the bottom bolt in the rudder of an ASW19? How do you get that blasted bolt in there so you can drop it down into the bottom hinge?

Time to replace the safety tapes - mylars are still in good shape and are well attached. Zigzag turbulators also have to be replaced. Could somebody elaborate the procedure? Which adhesive remover, etc? Thanks, -MB

Trying to order a 600 x 6 Tube for the main tire on a Grob 103 Twin II, and need to know which tube I need to order (which valve is used? ) There are several different types? http://wingsandwheels.com/aircraft-parts/tubes.html These are the valve variations: TR-87 short valve bent out 90...

All; I received a quote 20% less than what I had been paying through the SSA insurance program - Any other private owners have this happen, and did you switch? I have no problems with my current insurance, and Starr Aviation, the underwriter for the AOPA, is new to me. Still 20% is hard to pass...

Daniel Sazhin declared and flew 1000k O/R today. Others had fun too. Very nice. Nobody there had trackers linked to glideport.aero, so it's an evening surprise. Jim

Some Venti (not all) featured an 8 position LED light-bar centered on the instrument panel hood which would identify flap position. What "electronics" are used under the seat pan on the flap handle mechanism to "switch" the LEDs? Are there 8 individual reflective sensors reading the flap positions?

This last week we had a freakish Winter Storm come through Utah while I was out of the country. Winds in excess of 70MPH hit the airport and my SGS-233A pulled it's tiedowns out of the ground and it ended up in a fence, totalled. I have been working with my young son preparing him to solo on his...

Check out the video links below for Warner Springs (Sky Sailing) glider port. Loved the formation loops. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFsufnsUO3c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOiEgSsfoOE

Hi All, I'm looking for info or advice on building a watering stand for my PIK. You can see what I built on my facebook page (Blake Seese) If anyone has pictures of theirs, would love to see them. Thanks, 3Y

Readers, Was wondering what pilots are doing for Flarm displays. Ive used an LXNav Flarm View for years but with the upgrades to SYM it seems a dedicated screen is redundant. I am in the process of off season maintenance and will probably ditch the Flarm View display unless I can figure out what it...

Wondering how much if any lift in gliders is generated from the fuselage in flight. There is a famous photo of a F-15 that landed with one wing gone due to collision. This of course was possible due to the lift generated by the F-15 fuselage. The Schleicher family of gliders had two new...

The 303 display controller on my 302/303 combination has died. Does anyone have a serviceable 303 they could part with? Price? Or maybe I may be forced to upgrade to one on the newer fancy varios. Thanks! Linwood 7B
