Random question (kinda): Can an all-wood homebuilt glider be tied down outside year-round in a dry climate (e.g., Colorado) and be weather-protected by padded covers? The glider's plywood skin is covered by a layer of thin fiberglass, then painted. I guess I'm asking for actual experience or...

Cover up the face. The Cambridge 302 vario needle can fail to zero correctly at power up. The instrument uses a light source and photo sensor to find the zero position. If bright light overpowers the light source then the needle can fail to position properly. Sometimes it goes around in circles...

Hi all in US-glider land! I am just curious: what happened to the rebirth of the Polish Kr-03 trainer, which was supposed to be built by a company in Florida? With the Euro growing stronger and stronger against the US$ and the aging fleet of 2-33, I thought there would be a good market for this US...

Perhaps some knowledgeable person can help me with this. I recently started using an iPAQ with GPS_LOG WinCE interfaced to a Garmin II. Before flying with it, I did a test run over the hills in my car; it logged the trip perfectly and the log included the G-record. I then flew with it and it...
