Clubs in Netherlands. by Janusz Kesik
Hello, In the second half of April I'll be most probably travelling to Netherlands, to the Oss near Nijmegen. Is there any club close to this location? Just to jump in and watch their operations for a while as flying as a passenger there could be too expensive for me (well, had no time to refresh...

Winter Mech Vario Bezel by Mike Hostage
I want to mount a Winter mechanical vario in my glider. It has a bezel ring around the face that is wider than the standard 3 1/8' diameter of the face. Anyone have a clue as to how to remove the bezel, so the instrument can be mounted to the panel? I don't see any obvious keys/slots/or breaks in...

SOARING IN NEW ZEALAND by [email protected]
Will be in NZ in November for a couple of weeks, and would like to fly there for a few days. Questions 1) Besides my logbook and US-issued pilot certificate, what else do I need there to be able to rent a sailplane; 2) WHERE ELSE besides Omarama can one find decent flying conditions. This would...

Would anyone with experience flying with both of these varios please provide comments on their views of the two devices? Audio, ease of adjustment, accuracy, etc? I've been to the various websites, so don't need any more specs, thanks.

I've got a red line (hose) under my panel and according to the diagram in the maintenance manual for this glider this is the T.E. static. I've got a L-NAV and a Borgelt B-40, where might I want to connect this line to?

Euro vs Contrafund, or how to buy a glider (affordably) by [email protected]
On Nov. 15, 2004 I posted a message suggesting that you invest your money in a mutual fund with an excellent track record (i.e. Fidelity Contrafund) and wait until your $70K initial investment grows to match the current price of the glider. Here is an update on that strategy: Euro: $1.2944...

Glider - Towplane Signals by Mike the Strike
Training manuals and,in the USA, the FAA test, require knowledge of all the in-air signals between a glider and towplane. In all my 25-years of aerotows, I've only had four go bad (less than 1%). In one, the towplane engine quit just after liftoff, but early enough to enable us both to land on...

Laptop GPS/map software by [email protected]

Finish Gate Accident no. 2 by Justin Craig
As a pilot who practices high speed low finishes, I think that attention needs to be drawn to the fact that 85knots is simply not fast enough when finishing at 50 ft. At that speed, the height gained from a pull is not going to be enough to complete a safe circuit. I would agree that this low...

How are joysticks 'powered' in gliders? by [email protected]
I note that some gliders are controlle with a joystick which makes me curious as to how the control surfaces are powered. Assuming these are useable by people who lack the forearms of a truck driver, how are they powered? Do these systems use electric servos with a battery recharged on the...
