It looks as if my CAV50 is on its way out, so I'd like to replace it. Since the glider is, alas, not worth much now, I am therefore in the market for something economical at 80mm. Has anyone out there got something suitable going spare? Ian

Ah, once again the winter solstice has arrived in the Northern Hemisphere. For we pagan sun worshipers (a.k.a. glider pilots) there is hope once again that the days will grow longer and the thermals stronger. Our thoughts go out to our friends on the Southern side of the earth as the days start...

I have a Cambridge and early Ball varios but neither one has the external audio units. Are there schematics for these circuits so I can build a couple. I do have a fried Cambridge AU20 audio unit that has a blown capacitor on it but it seems that these circuits are very simple and should...

At the SSA Convention in Atlanta (2003) I ordered some shirts from them and was told by the rep that they would take several weeks to deliver. I never heard from them again and my phone calls and emails went unanswered in May of that year. JLH Ventus C

Ok, time to change threads from 'Where are you from' to 'Ugly trailer. The trailer does not load over the tongue, but from the back. The idea of the trailer is quite sound, I believe. The wing tips go in first. It has the heavy part of the fuselage towards the front and the heavy part of the...
