So I've got my new PowerFlarm brick installed and I'd guess that it was losing the other PowerFlarm in the area when the distance between us was between 2 to 2.5 miles. Obviously this is good for collision avoidance, but I was kind of hoping for more range. The other pilot reported similar range....

Has anyone of the early adopters actually flown with the new DeLorme InReach ? I had a contact with their tech support a while back, who mentioned that they report elevation, not altitude. Also their tracking pages mention elevation. I found tracks of Paul/Frank and Sean, but they look like they...

We are examining the Type Certiifcate for the K13. The original indicates aerobatics including spins "not approved". in 1967 Schleicher issued an AD approving semi aerobatics and spins, and printed a modified page 22 to the flight manual. Does this automatically modify the type certificate? ...

Any CFIG's within a days drive of Buffalo, NY willing to give a ground launch endorsement. I've found an airport that will let me auto- launch of their 5600 ft runway. This seems to be preferable to 2.5+ hr drives to reasonable glider clubs. TIA 2C

OK, now that I have your attention, I'm looking for a Cleveland 40-78 rim set w/disc in new or good condition, and an M&H CF480 O2 tank if anyone has one of those laying around they don't need... I have *some* monies, but also have the following NOS Cleveland parts for trade/sale: 40-19 (older...

The second contest day was even more difficult. No clouds, weak lift, strong winds. No finishers on a minimal task. The downtown parade Friday morning may be the day's highlight. -- Thomas Knauff Knauff & Grove, Inc. Schempp-Hirth Sailplanes

Our club Discus has a spot for a battery just aft of the rudder pedals but the straps are MIA. Is it safe to make new straps or use Velcro for attaching the battery hold down? Brian 17
