After waiting a year or so for the folks at Centrair to remove their collective heads for their a$$es (I'm not bitter), we've decided to sell the first of our 101As at a discount and export it to a country that can actually fly it. I'd appreciate pointers to on-line forums and/or a European...

I uploaded the pictures of my installation of Wedekind safety sleeves. These go on L'Hotelier fittings and are much easier to use than any other method. http://geocities.com/jhderosa Enjoy, John DeRosa

Rumour has it that the chief promotor of the 2007 World Grand Prix in New Zealand has disappeared (with several debts owing...). The organisers are apparently scrambling (very quietly so that the rest of the world does not know) to find a replacement or re-organise the event. I wonder how it will...

Is there any problem with 201 Libelle wings on gliders with early serial numbers? I have heard that the earliest models had balsa cores and they should be avoided. If so, at what serial number did the switch from balsa occur? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have also noted the OLC problem where, on occasion, the date will not change back to the previous day or before. Here is what I find seems to work... Click on the "Soaring" tab and select the OLC Classic Daily Score in the dropdown. This basically reloads the same page. Then click on the...

I have a hand held ICOM IC-A3E with a throughly dead battery pack. In the past I've revived similar packs (e.g. on an HP-25 calculator) by cracking into the plastic shell of the pack and replacing the cells, which are usually AA size NiCds. Doing this is normally vastly less expensive than...

Hello, I'm the daughter of a former sailplane pilot, Mac Snyder from Northern California. Mac is about 85 and no longer active, however he would like to give his collection of Soaring Magazine (from about 1957-85) away where it might be enjoyed. I'll check back. Ginny

Juan Mandelbaum, Mike Newman, and I stopped to see him on the way back from Memphis. Charlie was very sorry to be unable to attend the SSA convention ! Charlie can't travel as he's on dialysis at the hospital three days a week and a bit weak, but he's in good spirits and hoping to get another...

Another web page you might visit, with good, organized information, on contest articles, and it flies the British flag, is http://glidingcomp.com/school.html almost looks like BB standing in front of the classroom.........# 711.

I would like to use the Cambridge 302 and 303 but have questions: 1- does it calculate the glide path above obstacles, e.g. a mountain is in the way: does the CAI 302/303 see the path going through the rocks or does it see that there is a challenge? 2- is there a possibility to see the...
