I would need a used glider. I would like to get more resources on where on the web and where physically I can look for a glider. Thank you ! Chris

Can anybody tell me anything about the Varcom 2G calculator/GPS. I am looking for the manufacturars homepage, or even better, the manual. The first thing I want to know is if you can change the ft/knot setting to m/km setting yourself? Matts

I'm looking for a final glide/best speed to fly for a palm pilot (Zire 71). I know that for an HP there is a good software (winpilot). Can someone refer me to the right place? Thanks

Panie Krzysztofie, Czuj duch. Niestety, nie mieszkam w Stanach ale w Anglii. Fruwajacych Polusów jest, po calym swiecie, pelno. Napewno ktos u was sie odezwie. Co do szowninstycznej odpowiedzi od kolegi (domyslam sie) z Ameryki. to jemu - po staropolsku - cium cium

Someone please help me identify the person who displayed, at the Atlanta convention, a glider with PepBoy mirrors attached to each side of the instrument panel glare shield. I also want an e address or phone number. Respond to Thanks.

....e-mail people when you kill file them? sent me an e-mail to let me know he *PLONK*ed me. Fine that he KF'd me, but odd that he let me know. Shawn P.S. I altered his e-mail so it won't attract Spam, I'm curious not, an a-hole (in most peoples opinion ;-) )

Are there any B2000 users out there in the western US. Have some questions about functionallity compared to SN10 etc. Contest tasks? How has support been. thanks dave

Friends: It is about the last chance to save $5 and pre-register for the Region 12 Soaring Council's spring refresher (known locally as Back in The Saddle, for us westerners.....). If you will RSVP to the email address, and mail your check immediately for $40.... we will guarantee the...

Haven't been with you for a long, long time. Just some info of the forthcoming Club Class World Championships: Site: Elverum, Norway Time: June 2004 Participants: 60 signed up, max 3 per nation.

Discus CS 1998, winglets, 116 hours. Immaculate. $64,000. Cobra metal trailer w/ 2 wingstands, Security 150 Parachute, Cambridge GPS - LNAV, Cambridge Vario, Sage Vario, Microair 760 Radio w/ Boom Mike, EDS 02 w/steel bottle, Altimeter, ASI. .

There are commercial solutions availabe, ready to use. But I would like to know which pins are used on the IPAQ 3900 side for a two wire communication with the GPS and which pins are used for the +5V power supply. The IPAQ connector has some 22 pins and I guess that for power pins 19 gets +5V and...

This thought popped into my mind today. Lets say an occasion arises requiring the use of your out-of-date parachute. You leap clear of your damaged glider and pull the ripcord and, as we all expect, the 'chute works perfectly. Through dumb luck and many yanks on the risers, you manage to land on...

Here is another idea for discussion: Noticed a few cosmetic cracks in the fiberglass surface near the canopy's hinge area. Will monitor this area and repair when needed as, of course, if the hinges fail, the canopy will open at best; fall off at worse. My particular plane has been flown with...

Thank all of you for your suggestions and stories. I settled on proposing the Bob Korves-related tale of the contest pilot who landed out above the clouds because it would give me the opportunity to show 15 minutes of kick-ass aerials at the beginning before people changed to the ALL NASCAR CHANNEL...

Did anything happen at the Lausanne meeting?

Folks, After spending many hours waiting for a retrieve after land-outs and waiting on a grid for a couple or more hours each day at last year's Region Six race, I realized it would be really great to have a book on board. So, what books should I put on my reading list. A small, paperback book...
