Anyone got any in flight experience of the LX Nav V7 or the Butterfly vario? I love the features of the Butterfly but looking at YouTube clips it seems to be way too sensitive?? Any alternatives? Thanks Chris

I opened up my trailer today and found a live mouse in the cockpit. Naturally, there was a lot of mouse poop in the cockpit and in the trailer. I had made at least one mistake of leaving a good supply of crackers and granola bars in the cockpit and up front in the trailer. Little bugger had a...

Could someone provide me with the name of the font face used by Schempp on model names below the canopy and in their marketing materials? TIA 2c

Today (June 11) Oakland Center asked the Global Hawk Test Team to help with a Mayday call from a motorglider in Utah. The team was flying a new Global Hawk somewhat above 50,000 feet north of Edwards AFB and was 8 hours into a 30 hour mission to test the sensor suite when OAK Center made the...

The PW-6 has very effective spoilers, and some other gliders have even more effective spoilers. Assuming C.G. is within limits and runway is level, is it possible to round out and flare with the spoilers fully open? Does one need extra airspeed? How much extra? (Yep. I know it is advisable to...

It would be useful to hear your stories of how incidents of tow plane engine failure turned out for you. It seems that there is very little time to recognize, react, and recover. What are classic mistakes to make in this scenario? Would it be useful to practice 'release and land to the side of...

The advertisement for CFIG's recently posted, and the discussion it spawned, made me realize something. I have yet to see a soaring club that had enough CFIG's. I'm sure they're out there, but I bet they're not the norm. Some have waiting lists to join if you lack a glider rating. Some have...

Is anyone running this exact combination of components? Here's the scenario: I upgraded my palmtop to an iPAQ 4155 running PPC 2003 operating system software. In addition, I loaded the latest Cambridge utility for allowing the the iPAQ to configure the 302, now called 3UTIQ255.EXE. WinPilot...

Hi all, Has anyone out there ever suspended a glider in the air without resorting to the conventional method of airflow over the wings? I have an opportunity to hang both of my Grob 103's in two malls over the holiday season. I am pushing for having a Santa in the back and a Rudolf leaning forward...

With summer, season of heat, dehydration and cramps, nearly here I have a question: Does anybody know where I can buy powdered Gatorade in the UK - preferably lemon/lime flavour in 521g (18.4 oz) jars. Failing that, does anybody have a recipe for an acceptable substitute? --

In our winch clinic last week, the paraglider folks we shared the dry lake with, seemed surprised we could get something as big as a Blanik off the ground with a long steel cable. Their tandem instructor asked our CFIG, "what was the largest gross weight sailplane ever ground launched". Never...

Hello all, New guy here. I recently bought a Schuemanized Libelle and would like more information on these ships. I heard there were only nine manufactured, but I can't find that in writing anywhere. Because the nose is closed up (CG tow hook now) air into the cabin is slight, I'm curious how...

Hi folks, Anyone have a Standard Libelle manual or knows where to get it (preferably any digital format so emailing is no problem)? Many thanks, Joris Vanderputten
