Cobra Trailer Replacement Wheel by Chip Bearden
Finally did it. Rolled up the rim on my 1992 Cobra when the tire failed catastrophically on the way home from New Castle today. I know some have installed aftermarket wheels on their Cobras. Anyone have the specs for interchange?: bolt circle/pilot diameter/offset. These are the 13" rims installed...

Peugeot video turns into a glider ad by JS
Christopher McDonnell posted this on Aus-Soaring. A 4-minute promotional video on YouTube for the Peugeot 3008, auto towing a Junior. Interesting to see the second comment: "I WANT ONE!! The glider not the car." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boqxZ3BOzlY

A product called NuFinish was recommended, however a quick Google search finds that it contains silicon and I understand that this is not a good thing should any future repairs be required. Is this correct, or...

SeeYou wind calculations by GARY BOGGS CFIG
Here in Hood River, Oregon, USA, we usually have lots of wind and sometimes when I view the flights on SeeYou, it shows the wind very accurately and sometimes it doesn't. It doesn't seem to matter if there is a lot of circling on the flight or not. Sometimes when I first look at the flight it...

Quick mental math for the cockpit by 5Z
One minute of LATITUDE is approximately a nautical mile. Use your fingers as a crude caliper to measure distances on the chart. Double the distance and multiply by 100 for 30:1 Triple the distance for 20:1 I'd set my GPS for STATUTE miles then use the above math while flying the club's ASK-21...

U.S.A.F. - C.A.P. take note from our Canadian neighbors by karen[_2_]
Our local CAP squadron who has a very nice L-23, often seems more about rules, restrictions and talking than flying. Canadian Air Cadets produce a LOT of quqlified young pilots and share it with the public as...

Where is the next thermal? by danlj
