USB-to-serial converters that work (especially with ILEC SN10) ? by [email protected]

water ballast leak by Robert Harvey
I own an LS4A glider which has developed a leak in the left wing. The bags do not leak and I have done every thing I can think of to fix the leak. If anyone has had a similar problem I would like to hear from you and maybe make the repair.

Thermals in hell by 01-- Zero One
All of the recent posts about hell got me to thinking about the possible strength of thermals in hell. If hell is infinitely hot, even with the eventual melting and disintegration of the glider, would we not be able to climb fast enough to escape hell (another example of a 'low save').

Schempp-Hirth water Ballast Cap vent Mod by Paul M. Cordell
I am always amazed at how few Schempp-Hirth Glider owners have done this very simple Mod to their water ballast system. The addition of this 1 way valve to the top cap of the ballast tank plug will prevent water from flowing out of the tank prior to launch. You can put a wing down without...

NAVMAN GPS by Mike Hostage
I am using it with an Ipaq 3955 and CE Glide. Since they kindly modified the program to accept the NAVMAN's unusual data rate, it has worked just fine. The 57600 baud rate has prevented me from using Glide Navigator II. I have not tried WinPilot. Mike
