Has anyone found a non-bending swiveling tailwheel for this ship yet? Thanks and all the best --- Bob Johnson ----------------------------------------------------

Soaring pioneer Paul A. Schweizer passed away August 18 after a long illness. Paul was renowned as a sailplane builder, competition pilot, author, historian, lecturer and global spokesman for soaring. He was born in 1913, just two years after Orville Wright made the world's first soaring flight in...

Not sure what to do with our L-13 Blanik it's the one with the crunched nose that was listed on e-bay. Thought by now someone would have bought it for parts or something. We will probably start parting it out, it has the swiveling tail wheel and all the instruments anyone interested in parts...

Wanted to buy - Strong 303 in good condition at reasonable price 970-925-3960 or - prefer the older model.

I'm wondering if anyone might provide an address for a site selling soaring videos; DVD's VHS etc. Any input will be greatly appreciated. -- adzik ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted via OziPilots Online http://www.OziPilotsOnline.com.au ] - A website...

We launched, we flew, it was good. Late afternoon bases above 8,000 msl. Open Class HW wins, DB 2ond, AS 3rd. 18 Meter, RW wins, F8 2ond, SF 3rd. Folks, I got to launch twice yesterday. The tow pilot was new, and he went straight up on me on takeoff, I started to dangle, and whew, I released as I...

Any results available anywhere? Anybody heard anything? Are they flying? -- Pete Reinhart Austin, Texas

I showed up in Fredricksburg on Sunday mornin and pulled the weather all the way from Uvalde. Like it rained most of the way. I believe it rained so hard on Monday that the Frio river overflowed and caused part of the interstate to shut down. Anyway, they were not flying and I left on Sunday...

My Nimbus 2C landing gear struts are on the bench while I wait for a part. How do these things work? Is there any maintenance that can be done on them? Bill Daniels

Friends: I am soliciting advice for a winter project to renew the interior of my = ship (Nimbus 3) - which is getting a bit tattered. 1) Is there a good source for cloth side panels with pockets? Or, if = they are to be custom made, what types of businesses make them? 2) What is the best...

This week is IT. In case you hadn't noticed, it's summer, and the soaring's HOT. Here at least. Monday had a 900 km flight, Tuesday a late launch and early finish got a quick 400 km (for a girl, dry). Today, Mark Grubb flew 1100 km out of Tehachapi - yo-yo and landed Cal City just before...

OK all of you Cobra owners who have the interior carpet used to protect the parts and pieces of your glider that always comes off, what glue are you using to reattach the pieces? Thanks Brian MB1

I saw on the BGA website the BGA changed the spin training requirements. No more required low altitude spins. Good job, guys. I'm glad they changed it. I'm over 4000 miles away and I was cringing... On another note, the site seems to indicate that 20 flights minimum are required to solo, but...

I'm trying to get a Compaq Aero 1530 with PocketNav to receive NMEA output from a Colibri logger so that it can display the moving map. When I tried it for the first time in flight the PocketNav message was "No NMEA Data" and it went into simulator mode. Can anyone tell me what sentences to select...
