I'm looking to find anyone who has done any work toward getting an approval for using Oratex on a 2-33. With the FAA field approval program gone (not officially but everything must go through engineering now) & a DER being very expensive, I'm trying to find anyone who has used the Oratex fabric...

I just received the following email from another of the Stemme owners who flew in this flight: snip I just received this wonderful video of our flyover for GB's memorial from Kathy Rothfeld, Bob's sister. Â*Her son Adam took the video and put it to music. Â*I don't know about you guys but I...

Any of you folks from across the Pond care to help out? I'm finding myself spending more time in the UK lately, including weekends. I've flown with a number of different gliding clubs and thoroughly enjoyed myself... so much so that I'm looking in to what it would take to obtain a UK Gliding...

the Bay Area Soaring Associates (BASA) are selling off some used glider instruments and equipment at great prices. Some items are already sold but there is still a lot of great stuff remaining.

Well, it looks bad and there is no time to wait. We have been boxing gliders all day and I flew the Yellow Gorilla to a more secure location at my home on FD25. We will batten down the hatches and hope for the best, but this ole girl looks bad. Hope all the other glider clubs have the hangars...

Hi I am in the process of acquiring a flarm. Today I connected a friend portable flarm to my Oudie 2 to visualize the result on a oudie screen, and to evaluate if I need another display. Not welcome on my small LS6 panel. The problem; the oudie says it is connected and receiving the signal but...

I recently bought a nice PW-5 with original Sierra open trailer. Glider and trailer have been sheltered since new and are both in great shape. The glider is a joy to fly, but the trailer leaves a lot to be desired. I am interested in hearing from anyone who has experience with modifying the trailer...

I just got these two instruments and have been bench testing at home. The baud rates are properly set, and the s80 gets gps from the oudie, but about every ten seconds the s80 drops the signal and flashes no data very briefly, then picks it back up. Very consistent timing. Is this normal? It is...

Our club (SLSA) has a nice 1-34 that we want to encourage XC in; however our trailer (a basic Schweizer multi-glider open trailer) is missing the fittings needed to secure the glider to it - fuselage tiedowns, tail holders, etc. The rest of the trailer is in OK shape, so we want to make up new...

Am considering buying a PW-5 as my first single-seater for a variety of reasons, but the one aspect I don't like is that in rough air the tail is easily pitched up in flight from unexpected gusts once I'm off tow. This one's been weighed & balanced recently and its CG is perfectly centered within...
