Werker SLA batteries? (... better than PowerSonic?) by 2NO
I'm growing weary of my PowerSonic (PoS) batteries crapping out a few minutes after their 1 year warranty expries. Are Werker batteries any better? ... or are they essentially the same? The salesman at Batteries Plus said they pretty much stopped selling PS because they were having quality...

LX logger issues after PF install ... related? by 2NO
Since installing my PowerFlarm Core I've had a frustrating problem with my LX7007: it goes into "in flight" mode when sitting still on the ground, leaving me unable to access flight logs, update flight info, or do any transfers. I basically have to baby-sit the logger, wait for it to believe it's...

FLARM antenna question (hindrance from metal) by 2NO
I am going to wave my white "not a hardware guy" flag again here (while ducking). If the (main) FLARM antenna is mounted on a tin or aluminum surface (specifically, a short length of 0.5 by 0.1 inch of what is tin, aluminum, or some other light metal), will it interfere with the antenna's...

Legal rights when landing on private property (USA) by 2NO
There was a discussion about this last year, and I'm sure it comes up regularly, but I'd like to get some feedback from pilots with both legal and practical experience regarding one's rights (if any) upon making an emergency landing on private property in the USA. My aroused curiosity stems from...

negative flaps--what speeds? by 303pilot
The manual for my 303 Mosquito is silent as to when the use of negative flaps becomes beneficial during cruise. Any pointers as to what speeds are associated with -1 and -2 flap positions? Any data on the LD benefits of negative flaps at higher speeds? I read Dick Johnson's flight eval (Aug '79)...

Odd thing in Houston by 303pilot
This isn't soaring related, but I just saw the oddest thing out my office window. My office is on the beltway, 15 miles from downtown. The sky is clear. A large (bigger than a 737) passenger jet escorted by one or more small aircraft circled downtown Houston about 30 minutes ago and departed...

Gladiators of the Sky DVD by 303SAM
This is the story of the recent Soaring Gran Prix in NZ. It is exceptionally well done and I recommend it to everyone on this list. I think what they've done is right on target for making the excitement and beauty of soaring accessible to a wide audience. The air to air shots are fantastic. I'd...

I've moved my glider from it's usual place of "nesting" (a hangar in L.A. County) to a tiedown at Cal City (in Kern County). Anybody else have any advice on dealing with the tax assessor statement that came? I moved it up to the highlands in February of 2006, so technically I think it's a Kern...
