Is there such a thing out there? New/used? Thanks. Wad.

Received my New Year's issue of Soaring yesterday and was disappointed to see that Rick and Dick were not acknowledged for their fine performances in the 18M and Open Class Nationals at Uvalde last August. I also noted that rankings for pilots in those contests (as well as Regions 4 and 8) were...

Does anyone have a annual program letter that they would like to share. Thanks, Noel

Anyone been quoted a price on the part yet, if buying a replacement is considered the better option? http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgAD.nsf/0/7FB2202464A9999686256F6C005C6526?OpenDocument TIA, Frank Whiteley

Our gliding club owns an Astir CS sailplane and am in need of a repair manual. If none are available has anyone had any need to repair/refinish the trailing edge of the ailerons which tend to drag on the graound after landing. Also, does anyone know of a source for a landing gear handle grip...

Anyone know the trick to installing the rubber tim on Cobra Trailers? Tried soapy water, two people and about 1' left to go. Thanks, WDM

Hi all, It has come to my attention that the National Geospacial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) is considdering to stop distributing the DAFIF database to the public. A lot of soaring-related software relies on this source of information for their airspace data. In the proposal, there is a call to...

Hi Does anyone have a polar for the Stemme S10-VT for an LX5000 and winpilot? I'm flying in the club class nationals here in OZ and at the moment the LX thinks its an ASH and we dont quite make the final glide numbers :) There is a polar in Winpilot but its predicting the max L/D two up as...

Hmmm...the table of contents for this 83 page publication has gyro, powered parachute, airplane, LTA... but no gliders... Sigh...it looks like this opportunity has passed. It looks like Pipistrel won't be able to get an SLSA certificate for anything, so no Pipistrel glider rentals... And so much...

We have a Dittle FSG50 in one of our sailplanes. It is equipped with a hand mic and we would like to put in a boom mic and a push to talk switch. Does anyone know the pin outs for these? Thanks! Kurt

Mortality counted, One click. Orbited Another time. Great God,

You can now retrieve extreme close up B&W sat photo maps of your U.S. site already georeferenced in lat/long grid projection. Watch yourself roll down the centerline in SeeYou? The TerraServer has added an OGC web map server for the USGS digital ortho photoquads: No more guessing the corner...

The next issue of the Canadian soaring magazine "free flight" will have a history of Schweizer glider production. To fill one hole, I need a good representative photograph of either a 1-35 or a 1-36. Airborne would be nice. If you can help please send a jpg or tif hi res file direct to my e-mail...
