Gear Warning by
Gordon Schubert
I had gotten an almost brand new (12 hrs) Genesis 2.
My experience with retractable landing gear was somewhat
limited. At the end of my sixth flight I crossed the
field to check on traffic and turned into the pattern.
I announced my downwind and started my landing checklist.
Just as was about to...

Survival Kits by
ContestID67
I am a big believer in having some form of survival kit in my glider.
Even in the "wilds" of the midwest I can get stuck outside for a while
before being "rescued". I am always on the lookout for items to add
to my kit which I have built up over time. Whistles, fire starters,
signal mirrors,...

Flight Recorder for SSA Badges by
Carl6703[_2_]
I would like to retire our old Barographs and replace them with a
portable Flight Recorder that could be rented to candidates for SSA
badges. Does anyone have any suggestions for a portable flight
recorder which would meet the badge requirements? Thanks.

A Simple Question About LiFePO4 Batteries by
[email protected]
Not to start another chapter in "Battery Wars" but I have a simple question about "drop in" LiFePO4 battery replacements for SLA batteries in gliders.
For years, I've used an SLA battery with the same footprint as the common glider size of 7Ah to 9Ah--i.e., 5.95" x 2.56"--except a little...

Cobra Trailer by
My PW5 came with a very nice Cobra trailer that originally was for a Discus.
It's all metal (no Fiberglas). Needless to say it's way to big for the PW5-5
although it has been converted very nicely. I'm sure it would be very easy
to convert it back for a 15 meter ship.
If anyone would like to...

Private airport or small field for landout? by
Charles Ethridge
Hi all.
I'm a former cfi-i/mei and commercial glider pilot, but I've never gone cross-country in my PW-5 glider. Training up for it though. A question:
If you are in an area where the fields are small, but there are several private airfields around, which should be your priority?
Seems to me...

Towing by
Roger Fowler
I recently rode with a towpilot who leaned the engine
aggresively after retarding throttle at the start of
the descent. While he is probably correct that it
slows the rate of cylinder cooling significantly, I
had never seen it done before. Is anyone else using
this procedure?
