L-13 + TE + Audio Vario by
Ray Lovinggood
I would like our club to install an audio variometer
in our basic trainer, the L-13 Blanik.
Some candidate varios include, the Borgelt B-40, the
Tasman, and the LX-16 (I think). There may be others
too. But I believe these all need TE input.
The Blanik is not plumbed for TE. Has anyone...

Winch give-away by
KP
Our club has a winch that has not been used for fifteen years. When we
moved to a public airport there was not the logistics to run a winch
operation. So there it sat.
At the last BoD meeting it was decided to take it to the scrap metal
