I have a glider purchase pending inspection and a simple A/D compliance item. It's a nice ship, and the seller has been an absolutely outstanding gentlemen to work with. The glider is about 95% how I would have done things had I bought it new, but there are few small items - one of which is the...

Just wondering how many out there keep their vario's in climb mode while cruising. I have spoken with one pilot that likes is audio while cruising to be the climb vario audio and the STF is just graphical on the dial. I noticed my flying has evolved, perhaps due to the new airfoils, or maybe I am...

Anyone in RAS-land know of a L-23 for sale in the US? Nothing listed on Wings and Wheels, but maybe there is one sitting quietly in the corner of a hangar that could be sold. Another option would be a Grob 103 - there are a couple on W&W to be pursued, but do you know of any others? And, finally...

Dear Flatlanders, Last year, I had the privelege of flying in the R4 South contest in New Castle, VA, spanning over the 3rd week of September. I had little to no previous ridge flying experience, and was even cautioned by one top ranked pilot not to fly here. I'm glad I didn't listen. While this...

I have an old TPX 720 handheld radio. It was sitting for 20 + years and the rechargable batteries were shot. They are 1.2 v nicads, 10 of them. Before I go out and buy more, does anyone know if I can just put regular aa cells in it to see if it works? The nicads are 12 volts total, and the dry...
