Now that I am back in PA from Parowan, and after carefully packing my scoring computer in the bottom of my trailer, unofficial scores for Friday 7/3 and Saturday 7/4 have been posted. Changes reflect logs received late on 7/4 and optimization of start times for landout victims on 7/3 and 7/4. ...

In January I opened an account for FOIA requests on the NTSB website. Then, I spent two weeks working with their tech support to figure out why the logins and resets weren't working. While it was finally resolved it took several updates to their servers before it happened. So, around a month ago I...

I have an Oudie IGC that I got a couple years ago. I'm sort of selling off some of my aviation stuff (because I got a supercub and I'm going nuts with that) My question is this. I know it had some sort of calibration that was included, and this is a requirement if you use the Oudie for badge and...

At the risk of jumping into something I'm really not in the middle of, I'd like to suggest that we are not presenting our sport in a positive light to those who are considering joining our ranks. It would be great to see an active thread on how to create buyers for gliders instead. We face a...

I recently downloaded a flight to the OLC and got a red V for validation does anyone know how to fix this or what the problem is? all this stuff worked last year. SF

Is this hardware anything different from what I can find googling "rs232 to bluetooth" ? There are similar products way much cheaper around now. We are testing the eBay stuff for 45 euro and so far it does its work. Moreover, the K6 has got no batteries and need external power supply. It doesn't...

Hi guys, It has been a while since I have posted here. I have finally narrowed my search to 2 gliders. I am aware of the following on each glider: Jantar - Visibility during tow, and tight cockpit (I am 5'10' 148 lbs so I fit ok). Pik 20D - Thick wing mold, parts support, and flaps.
