Marfa TX by Larry Watkins
I enjoyed 3 afternoons soaring with Burt Compton last weekend. I usually fly in Indiana. The trip is worth the travel. Unusual scenery. Remarkable soaring conditions. Burt and Kathie were wonderful hosts. The flying tips and safety pointers coming from the back seat are very helpful. The best part...

Canopy causes cockpit fire by Bob C
Yesterday afternoon Mark Mocho (MM Fabrication) opened the canopy of his Pegasus to get his cell phone. By the time he made a call to me, his soaring hat, which was lying atop the glare shield, was smoking. The canopy was acting like a big magnifying glass and focusing the sun's rays onto a...

The not-so-noisy jet Silent by Howard Banks
Those of us who have actually heard Bob Carlton's jet-powered Silent in the air can tell you that once it is off the ground and more than a few hundred feet away that it is a lot quieter than conventional motor gliders such as the DG 400 or 800.When being run up on the ground and up close it...

Can anyone provide pictures/diagrams of their arrangement of a PDA mount in a PIK20B (the cockpit layout of the 'D is different, that's why I specifically ask about the 'B.

Admit your lie, tommy by Lennie the Lurker
No facts, just an ego. Dig in google, the final straw of the down and drowning. Just admit it, tommy boy, you shot off your overstuffed ego and oversized mouth, and my foot is in it. I even made sure that you were insinuating what I thought you were, and you swallowed the hook, line and sinker. ...
