Hallo, I'm working on my panel redesign. It's a "long distance project" with me on one continent and the glider on another... Would someone with a "winter access" to his glider take some measurements for me? - what is the exterior dimension of Ilec engine controller? I know it is 57mm hole but...

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....

I made a couple of flights yesterday with a new setup that links a PowerFLARM brick (2.79/3.1/Flarmnet loaded) to an SN10B (2.37, PDA, FLARM, 19200 selected) passing Flarm, GPS, and vario data to an Oudie2. All worked exactly as expected EXCEPT that randomly during flight, at irregular intervals,...

A machinist buddy of mine made me a TE tube for my 2-33 and it worked great, but I no longer have that ship. He is at sea so I can't reach him and I need to make another one for my "new" 2-33. It was just a tube about 4" long with a hole on the back side as you might expect and we mounted it behind...

I am hoping for a shot or 2 next month to attempt a 1000k badge flight. I realize that the turnpoint or turnpoints need to be an FAI 90 degree sector. What about start and finish, I plan to use the gliderport for my start and finish, does this also require the 90 degree sector or is a line...

If anyone knows where I could find either a complete frame AND plexi canopy for the rear cockpit of a Twin Astir (not Twin II) I'd appreciate the help. Our Canadian Freedoms Wings program for paraplegic pilots is at a standstill as we've broken our rear canopy. Its a frustrating position to be in...

The photo gallery on the SSA webpage has a photo by Mike Abernathy with this description: "Bob Carlton working on his innovative conversion of an Alisport Silent to be self-launching using 2 AMT USA jet engines. Bob has test flown it and reports it to climb well." Can anyone tell me the email...

Is external "event marker" switch on 302 a "momentary on" type? Can the mode/screen pushbutton on 302 be used as an event marker? Thanks. Andy

In a recent thread it was asserted that it was possible to get sport pilot airplane privileges without taking a knowledge test and flight test if the pilot held a private glider rating. For some reason I cannot see that thread. I had doubts that this was true and followed up with AOPA. The text...
