Thanks for this. OLED ought to be better in high brightness environments so it's reassuring that it is. It looked to me like Apple didn't set the max brightness on the iPhone X as high as I would have liked, but I could only experience it in the store. Seems like one reflection problem is off the...

Any Lak 12 owner had cause to replace the factory pattern trailer brake shoes? If so where did you purchase them from?.

Apparently a couple of spots have opened up in the "Formula 1.0 Grand Prix" at Leeton, New South Wales around New Years. Cross-posting from Jim Just wanted to keep everyone updated on the Formula 1.0 Grand Prix at Leeton from the 27th of December to the 5th of January. We have had a few people...

Where would one start looking for a new canopy for an old KA-6?

There are a number of new scholarships being awarded this year by the SSA to youth members (ages 14-22) of all skill levels... from the pre-solo beginner all the way up through experienced Junior pilots seeking advanced ratings and/or xc, wave, or ridge soaring experience. Please encourage youth...

The manual mentions that a CG hook can be mounted on the landing gear. Does anyone have instructions from the factory on that process? Thanks Phil

My syndicate are pondering an electrical hookup and dehumidifier for our trailer that's kept over winter at a site that's humid and cold (it's probably in cloud for 50% of the winter). The trailer is an older metal trailer with unsealed doors and a rotating air vent. I'm wondering how effective a...

Low time pilot, 60hrs, have done some solo cross country flying but not a lot. Sold my 1-26E a few years ago (not by choice, business debt at the time). My first thought is to jump into another 1-26 or 1-34 for a number of reasons (safety and availability). I could land my 1-26 just about...

A new weight and balance, after a tail boom repair, shows that several tens of pounds of trim weight needs to be added to a forward location in order to move the CG back into acceptable range. This fixes CG issue, but are there other concerns with doing this? Would be interested in experience of...

Apologies if this has been posted before but very happy to see Matts videos ar restored to youtube. A fitting memorial to an inspiring'dude'

Hi, I am looking for a set of used winglets for a 1987 Ventus C. Does anyone have a pair of these and doesn't need them any more? Regards Stefan

Even for smaller pilots, current cockpits are usually too snug. I'm normal build and 5'10" so I have no trouble fitting in my Ventus 2cM, and its comfortable, but I can't move much and little stowage space. I always have more 'stuff' than places to stow it where I can reach it. There is space...

I need the specs on the charger for the iCOM IC-A5 charger, - the output voltage and preferably a photo of the data plate on the charger. I ordered a replacement for a lost one, but the otherwise very eager and accommodating folks at SMARTMEDIA US sent one with a 5.5mm plug (3.5mm seems to be the...

Our club is looking into a new canopy for a Grob 103 Twin Astir. We received an estimate from a well-known repair shop: $2,000 for the canopy and 50 hours of labor to install. I'm new to this field - I fly 'em, I don't fix 'em. But I'm having a hard time imagining what steps must be involved...

To anyone whom can help, I just acquired a DG101g a few weeks ago, and when the a-hole left, he did not give me the keys. When asked he said he put them in the front of the trailer, but nothing there, and claims they are not in his pockets. So after looking at the glider, I closed the back door...

Hi all, Does anyone have first hand experience of using a K6 BT adapter (http://www.k6-team.de/index.php?a=165) with a vario such as a Cambridge 302 and nav software like XCSoar? I'm wondering if there is a noticeable benefit to using the vario's data streams versus a nav device's inbuilt...

Is the Soaring Cafe (soaringcafe.com) now an ex-website? It certainly looks that way. -- Martin | martin at Gregorie | gregorie | dot org
