Looking for a paper 1:500,000 VFR aero chart in order to orient myself to that area of France. A used chart will be OK until I get there in August. If you know of a source of these charts in the USA, please let me know.

Anyone have a cable to connect a 1500 series Compaq aero to a Cambridge 302 that they would be willing to sell? 2EZ wore his connector out and is having a hard time finding a replacement. Apparently, no vendors have this cable anymore. Thanks, WB

Promised my lovely bride that after Uvalde I would take a break from competition flying. So, I don't need the latest greatest racing machine now ... not sure what I need ... but, first, I must sell my wonderful JS1-B. :-( Details...

Hi Gang I am aware of 2 new (imported) gliders having to be registered in the experimental category - Mitch Polinsky's 31 and my DG1001M. I truly don't think that is too much of a problem with single place gliders but is a problem with 2 place gliders because it excludes commercial usage....

A runway that I frequent has no straight ahead option for a rope break at 100 feet AGL. There is a however a highly recommended hayfield with a 90 degree turn from the takeoff heading onto the landout final. The field is 100 feet lower in elevation than the departure runway, so it is reachable if...

Is there a way to declare to a portable PowerFlarm or do you just use written declaration with the IGC file?

Has anyone modified one of the Grob pin and socket drop off tail dollies for use with a tow bar? I'm worried that the stresses from towing on uneven ground/grass may cause issues with cracking the socket portion in the fuselage. Of course building or finding a regular wrap around dolly is an option.

This device has never been installed in a glider, has had about 2 hours time running on my desk at home, but unfortunately due to space problems I...

I just wondering if current technology could provide improved stall-spin warnings/information. For example, suppose you installed a pitot at each wingtip (and I'm making an assumption you need this level of resolution) and had an instrument that monitored/stored wingtip airspeed and fluctuations …...

Called AOPA last Thursday - and nope, none of their financing partners can do gliders at present. They claim that if more people start requesting it, they may be able to make it happen; but not immediately. Sad, really - and IMHO one more reason the sport isn't growing here. A person looking...
