The Headset is similar to the Telex on Wings & Wheels and the PTT is an older style that is more like a two direction momentary on switch. Works Fine, Would sell for $200.00 for all.

I've been looking for a shop to certify and if necessary overhaul a Ball 400 series vario, and in doing so I found there are others looking for the same. Since I saw some people concerned they have no manual for this older vario, I thought I would make available the manual included in the logs for...

My next stupid question... how do I remove all elements of SeeYou from my notebook? I've gone into the control panel and removed the program. Even went into my disk and removed it there, then rebooted. I've looked up the help log on the subject and it wasn't particularly helpful (can't find SeeYou...

Hi Gang Like you all I have questioned what the best L/D of my 3 (now 1) gliders - DB800B, Stemme S10-VT and SparrowHawk were in reality suspecting that real L/Ds would be lower than the manufacturers published values. I have used a PDA for many years switching it between gliders. Software is...
