Hello all, Wonder if anyone has experience leaving a metal HP-18 glider tied down, out of the trailer. Any damage to the wing foam ribs ? wing bonding issues ? Corrosion ? Location is in the northeast USA. Dan

Reading the dismal (I'm being kind) reviews of the latest Hero Gopro I'm looking at alternatives. Kind of. Has anybody settled on an alternative? So far what I've seen either desaturates color or has reliability issues. (Read=this is NOT an endorsement of Garmin OR GoPro.). Thanks for any...

Many of you use, or could use, felt for lots of things in your trailers (fitments, pads), your dollies, wing stands (maybe). I know that over the years, felt has been a part of every one of my winter's project list. I used to have an industrial supplier "down the street" and got off-cuts from him...

Hi all, I am rebuilding my ballast valve at the moment. I have it apart (unfortunately in more bits than I planned but that is another story) and would like to replace the rubber seal / seat that the ball-on-a-stick sits on. Does anyone know what seal it is and/or where to get one? I assume...

It seems like a nice concept and I was recommending others try so I thought I should too. https://www.power-sonic.com/batteries/lithium-bluetooth-series/ I bought the 12120 which is 12.5AH to replace my StarkPower 12AH (which after 6 years use still tests at 11.9 AH). The Powersonic is available...

Many clubs and commercial operations are back flying and many are flying dual instruction/demo flights. What procedures are being used to minimize possible infections.

What's the best (safest) way to get year-old bugs off a gel wing? I tried searching old posts, but I kept getting kicked out for some reason. TIA, Tim

I'm looking for used tow out gear and wing stands. This is for use with a Pik-20E.

I'm a relatively new owner of N571RD, Ventus C S/N 355 and would like to know other owners to ask the occasional question. Please respond - maybe we can set up a sub-group.

After a lot of research last winter Utah Soaring Association switched our glider scheduling and communications (email) software to Pilot Schedule (pilotschedule.com). The support has been great ... they have added features we needed. The cost is less than we were paying before for our old...

Friday,07-Aug-2020 Matt Herron was piloting LAK-17B FES Mini Glider, which took off from Lampson Field near Lakeport at about 2 p.m. en route to Mendocino County, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office said. That's all I...

Hi Guys, Any news about the Gp glider out there? The 15 Jeta promise a revolution, but I cannot find much new info about It. Some owner could help? Cheers

Hi All, Anyone from the US here ? :) I'm just wondering, how glider instructors are payed in the US (and if there are any considerable differences here and there) - I'm a glider instructor with an EASA license, and I'm thinking about making an FAA conversion in the future, and I'm curious to...

As more gliders and airplanes get ads-b installed is there a website to download the flight trace for a specific aircraft? I'd like to be able to replay the track in Google Earth via .kml/.kmz or as a .igc. Chris

Our small club lost our 2-33 in a wind storm this season. There might be a replacement candidate, but it is far away and only has a useful load of 380 lbs. Ideally we are hoping to find a good one in the Northeast USA with a higher useful load. Just putting the feelers out. Hoping there might...
