Just got back from a week at Mifflin PA. What a kickstart to the season! A half dozen Canadians were there, and a large group from the Greater Boston Soaring Club. We all discussed having mixed feelings about reminding you here in RAS that you all can fly *ANY* time at Mifflin, since the busier it...

I am using an old version of CAE to view flights from my 302/Compaq 1500. Yesterday (first flight this year) all flight data was correct in the 1500 card but upon transfer and display in CAE it shows the flight as May 8 1994 - not 2004. No such problem last year. Is this fixable? - or do I just...

My Nimbus 2C has a rotating shaft that passes through the root rib into the integral wing tank. This shaft operates the dump valve. This shaft has about 1mm radial play and appears to be leaking water at a slow rate. I detect no axial play. I find that the closing spring can be gently...
