Gear Warning by
Gordon Schubert
I had gotten an almost brand new (12 hrs) Genesis 2.
My experience with retractable landing gear was somewhat
limited. At the end of my sixth flight I crossed the
field to check on traffic and turned into the pattern.
I announced my downwind and started my landing checklist.
Just as was about to...

Ease of attaching and detaching by
01-- Zero One
Kirk has properly pointed up the issue in trying to align 2 pin wings.
I cannot tell you how many even experienced owners still try to install
the pin nearest the helper first. Based on the geometry of the design,
the helper has very little ability to control the alignment on that pin
but can...

Jet sailplane photos by
Bob C
Photos from Wednesday's photo mission. I flew formation
with Clayton Stansell's Cessna 175 for about 35 minutes.
The twin AT-450's only required about 50% thrust to
keep the sailplane in the formation at 80 MPH indicated
(about 92 MPH true) at 7000' MSL. Photos by Bill Pearson

GPS BlueTooth w datalogger (Earthmate Blue-Logger by DeLorme) by
Jeffrey Banks
Hi all,
Has anyone found the data logging feature on this small BlueTooth GPS
receiver useful as a stand alone logger?
The file would have to be converted to IGC from what ever file the BT
GPS uses.
And can that converted file be validated for OLC USA national
submissions?
This is interesting to...

Shelf Life of [Spare] Tires? by
[email protected]
Had a flat tire on the return from the New Castle Regionals (USA) last
month and had to use the spare tire...the *original* (ca. 1992) tire
that's been inside the trailer the entire time. It looked brand new but
I took it easy driving back anyway. Now I'm wondering if a tire kept
out of the sun and...

Winter Thermal Cross-Country by
Mike the Strike
Friday November 11th saw a cold front and low-pressure system through
Arizona that produced excellent winter cross-country conditions. The
best two flights were 440 km and 388 km (log files on OLC), probably
the latest 300km+ flights we have seen.
This led me to wonder how many sites around the...

More grist for the battle of the battery by
Bill Daniels
Lithium Ion rechargeables seem to have recently seen a 50% or so price drop.
A 4-cell, 14.8V, 8AH with charger and mounting plate can be had for $169.99
(USD). These are basically long endurance laptop batteries.
This is still too much for me given that a SLA with the same capacity is
around $25...

EFIS by

To All,
I read the postings about the downed glider near Reno, NV. I would like
to point out that there are some other viable options for gyros, EFIS,
etc. that should and can make flying in some unique conditions a bit
safer and give the pilot some extra info. Please check this...

ALCON....
I have a Dynon EFIS in my Nimbus 3, 26m. I have been cloud flying for
almost 10+ yrs in Florida...all legal, there are a lot of
misconceptions of this...but according to the current FAR, in the USA
