Here are some YouTube videos all entitled "Crazy Glider" (or variations). Now, why can't we have an SSA party like...

Does anyone have a source for dark gray lacquer for painting contest numbers on a sailplane? Preferably in the US. I know it is old fashioned, but that is what I want to do. Thanks in advance, Roger

All, During the summer I wrote a RAS posting comparing the SPOT to the ACR MicroFix PLB. See http://tinyurl.com/plbversusspot for details. The posting drew some good comments. I created a presentation out of the posting (including a discussion of ELT's) and recently gave it at the November...

Well its wintertime in the northern hemisphere. The Cherokee is tucked away in its trailer for the winter and im going through withdrawal. Thankfully, I have flight club. anyone else been playing? http://www.danburton.net/hg/hg.htm the URL changed a bit from last year I think. and it seems...

Our club (http://skysoaring.com) owns a ex-military L-19/O-1 "Bird Dog". Nice and powerful two seat-er. It has one other interesting attribute. Due to it being an observation plane, the rear stick can be removed and the rear seat back repositioned so that the passenger can face backwards. This...

Hi All, I am trying to figure out who the manufacturer of the particular flush latch below, and after MUCH interwebbing have still turned up nothing. http://www.n523rv.com/fuselage/Cowl%20latch%20outside.jpg and http://www.n523rv.com/fuselage/Cowl%20latch%20inside.jpg It's not a Camloc (none I've...

I am curious as to why the Kestrel polar is not included in any of the flight recorders/flight computers. I have one loaded into my SN-10 from the polar data in the manual so it's not a burning issue, but I'm feeling a bit left out!

Anyone know where I can find this program to download? I had to replace my old laptop and the copied program won't fly. Thanks!

Got an email from Judy today, my Silver Badge is in the mail! yippee, only 2 years worth of goofed up barographs and missed opportunities to get it too. I should write a book "Silver Badge...Made Hard!" On to the gold I suppose. Tony

Does the Xcsoar website always give problems or is it a temporary situation? Most of the times it does not answer, or it is painfully slow. I found Xcsoar a great product, not to mention it is free, but mostly oriented to developers for embedded instruments such as Altair, than to end-users. I...

My club has a 1983 Grob 103 Twin II that needs a new master cylinder. Over the years the Grob factory has made changes to the system without full documentation and as a result the US distributor can not be sure of how I go about purchasing the proper master cylinder for this glider. If you or...

A friend is building an aircraft of his own design. He has used a horizontal stabelizer from a Grob 103. He wants to know what is the airfoil section of that stabelizer? An Eppler E _ _ _ ? ? ? Any objective information appreciated. Cheers ...Jock

I notice SPOT is offering a $50 rebate until the end of the year. I also noticed it was $200 at Costco, $150 after rebate, but the online stores still show them for sale for at less than $150. I don't know the specifics of the rebate offer - I have a SPOT already, and my wife loves...

Can anyone out there with experience behind both 2-bladed and 4-bladed Pawnees give me an idea of what the performance losses are? My club has debated this off and on, but I was recently at a field with a 4-bladed Pawnee and was much impressed with the lower noise. Problem is, I've got club...

I'm a little curious about student solo celebrations at other clubs ... I had my shirt tail trimmed on my first solo flight quite few years ago ... but I seem to notice a higher frequency of wet- downs these days ... just wondering if it is a widespread trend. Anyway, here is a neat photo of a...

Ok this is a very long shot... Anyone got a Salto Canopy stashed away? Prefer US location but will look at worldwide. Thanks Al
