Does anyone know whether the 302 uses an (efficient) switch mode DC converter, or just a plain old regulator (doubles as a toaster)? I'm idly wondering if it's worth my while to wire in a separate switch mode power supply for the PDA -- you can get good quality DC/DC converters that run with 90%...

The FAA has just issued a new AD grounding Blaniks until they can be inspected using a new procedure. Unfortunately, this new procedure does not exist. Bob McKellar

Some very nice flights originate from Inyokern, and I'd like to fly from there one weekend. A couple questions: 1. Does the airport allow "Ramp Tramps"? I usually sleep in my truck when visiting glider ports. 2. Are tows (conditions permitting) always available on weekends? 3. Is oxygen...

I'm looking for sources of tow rope in the USA. Can you help? Thanks, Doug

Warning... this is an unabashed plug for a new product developed by Swift Avionics in Australia. I have a vested interest in this company so am declaring my involvement up-front. However, if you run any sort of gliding club, you'll find a quick visit to our website enlightening. Check out...

A friend of mine just sold his ASW 27B and the buyer did not want the covers. They are 2 years old and have been on the sailplane at most 20 days. These are about $2,400 at the current exchange rate including shipping. Asking $1,700, OBO. Will pack them up and ship them within the US. Stu...
