NEW - DG-1001e neo with FES with 40 HP Quality, performance, safety and all-round capabilities have always been the most important characteristics of our well known DG-1000 family since its roll-out. With more than 300 units sold, the DG-1000 family is flying in all areas of gliding. For us it was...

Does your club have any beginner tasks, tasks with club trophies, etc? If yes, start with them. What worked for me, once I'd gotten past taking every thermal (which got my Siver C and 100km BGA certs), was first learning to fly a task while staying high and avoiding landouts rather then...

Sorry for the duplicate topic post, I had an error posting the original topic. I recently purchased a Ventus Ct that did not come with Oxygen. There is a large pipe style clamp to the starboard side of the upper fuel tank area. As well as a small bracket forward of the with no associated mounting...

To those that have flown a CallAir A9 how does it compare to a Pawnee in flying? Same engine so I am guessing the tug performance is about the same.

Yesterday we lost WH. RIP Bill!

On 20 October, the IGC-approval documents for 11 types of IGC-approved GPS Flight Recorders were updated. In para (i-ii) on page 1 of these IGC-approval documents, notice is given of a reduction of IGC-approval level to take place on 1 January 2020. The affected FRs are old designs, one going...

Potential purchase of a glider with Cobra trailer at Tehachapi and need it brought east to Atlanta. Anyone with an open hitch available in the near future? I'd be willing to go as far west as Dallas to rendevouz. Thanks. Steve Vihlen (901)488-3154.

I just learned today that Renny Rozzoni's Cobra trailer is available for sale at Fidel's at Moriarty (505-417-5299).Â* The trailer is practically new, I think it's a 2018 model, and it was delivered to the States with a Ventus 3 FES inside.Â* Sadly, Renny crashed the Ventus last year.Â* I do...

I happen to be looking at some OLC scoring and noticed that there were rear seat ride along customers scoring flights on OLC as if they were the PIC. Is there any provision for making sure that the ride along is not permitted to score the flight as if they were the primary scoring individual.

Does anyone recall when U.S. contests (especially nationals) evolved from "announce the task at the morning pilots' meeting and fly it no matter what" to the more enlightened "Task A and B (and C and D...) and pick one--or define another--on the grid or even in the air"? I can't recall whether this...

The LAK12 Yahoo group may now be found at https://groups.io/g/lak12 36 subscriber transfers bounced. Appears the remainder transferred fine. If you were a subscriber and did not receive a message from me at the e-mail but did receive the forwarded message from the old Yahoo...

I am interested in learning more about glider operations at Tullahoma, TN. I have family near that area and would be interested in flying my glider there during visits. Matt

Putting it out there on the off chance someone has a set of sealed struts for a Pawnee 260 squirreled away.

We are looking to buy a serviceable trailer that can be modified and configured for a Pilatus B-4. Open or enclosed are fine, but must be a reasonable drive from New England. If enclosed, the minimum interior height must be 48" from floor to ceiling at wing root and 46" at canopy point. Post info...

My Ventus 2c makes a howling sound when flying at 0 flap setting. It is significantly less noticeable immediately after changing the flap setting either positive or negative. Pilots tell me they can hear it when flying overhead or landing. I can hear it seemingly behind me, inside the cockpit. ...
