Escaping glider on the ground with stuck canopy? by Steve Koerner
I'm hypothesising about a certain risk scenario that could happen: landing somewhere or crashing somewhere and canopy won't open. If it's hot especially, one might not last long enough for help to arrive if summoned by phone or radio. My question is how to get through a canopy that's stuck or has...

Cobra Trailer Brakes by [email protected]
Having just installed new brake drums, bearings, backing plates, and brakes on my 2011 year Cobra (New because I burnt up the original ones on the way to Perry, a long post on that later) I am quite sensitive to how hot the brakes should get in normal operation. I am sure that all the new items...

LXNav S80 vario decoupling by [email protected]
Is there any way to "decouple" the S80? That is, get it to display one Macready setting for speed to fly while showing another (higher) macready setting for required altitude to destination? I don't see a way to do it but hopefully I'm missing something. I like the vario so much my willingness to...

Nearest near-miss? by [email protected]
The Transponder chatter on other threads got me to thinking about who’s got the closest near-miss? Thought I’d kick it off with my incident over 40 years ago. I was flying my homebuilt wooden sailplane over Mono Lake, Ca. Cursing south at 16000’ and 60 knots when I spotted a 4 engine jet...

OAT sensor placement by Rob Shepherd
Where would be the best place to install an OAT sensor? I'm assuming somewhere on the underside of the glider but out of the airstream. Constructive comments appreciated. Cheers Rob

dimensional stability of composites by john firth
Currently, the PIK 20 E canopy is too long for the gap. The inability to force the canopy closed made me wonder if loading the fuselage in bending over a winter might cause deformation. In the PIK trailer, if the cradle does not take the weight, the nose cone and tail wheel could be supporting...
