Recently there was an apology issued from the SSA and the SSF and Editor for a so called offensive interpretation of the depiction of a historical portrayal of a young lady and a glider pilot on a previous edition of Soaring magazine. After reading the complaints from the women associated with the...

For those of you who use something like Thunderbird to read RAS, I just created a junk filter so that I never have to see his rants again. It was as simple as stating the condition: If From conatins the first part of his email address delete the message. All gone. -- Dan 5J

A friend just had the axle break on his Eberle trailer. Any thoughts on an easy swap? Or should he rent a flatbed to get it home then take his time to replace it? He's about 50 miles inside Virginia on I-81 on his way to the DC area. 5Z

Anyone have a source for the squarish plastic reservoir? One of our club’s members has one that developed a crack and leaks. It looks to be about 3-4oz capacity. Might otherwise have to adapt something non-standard if it’s not directly replaceable. Thanks... Larry Ruggiero, Carolina Soaring...

Their web site shows a special price on a blank DG300 instrument panel and I have been trying to reach them for several weeks to try to order one.

If you're trying to restore your Libelle to original configuration, you might need a SOLLFAHRTGEBER. I have one that is available for sale. If you are interested, email me and I'll send you some photos.

Hello Gliders, I wanted to make this post to see other pilots experiences at their local gliding clubs. My experience at my local gliding club is so-so, speaking as a young soon to be solo pilot, because of organisational management. My friend and I have been quite frustrated due to extreme...

I see a couple of old threads suggesting that Winter ASIs need to go back to Germany for repair and recalibration. One of the ASIs in our Grob 103 is reading 8-10kts low vs two known good units. Anyone had any luck with a shop in the US? Otherwise, it's off the the Fatherland with this...

Greetings, While doing some minor maintenance, the canopy of the PW-5 that I was working on auto jettisoned it's canopy on the ground. Others around said this was a somewhat known issue and this had happened before after a firm landing. I noticed there are 3 contact points between the support...

Like about 300 US Blanik L-13 sailplane owners, I have a ship that will probably never fly again. Just trying to find out what other owners are doing with their hangar queens. I know of one where the owners took it apart, separating the aluminum from the steel for sale to metal recyclers. From...

Hi, I received 2 Oudie units in the mail which appear to be from Markus Graeber.. I suspect he wants them upgraded or repaired. He bought them from me in 2010 and they have his name in the logger screen. But the return address on the package is unreadable, and no contact data was included. The...

I'd like to use a webcam to view the weather at the airport I fly from, particularly for wave days; unfortunately, the official airport webcam looks down at the runways and ramp instead of up at the clouds. I want to install a viewer-controllable pan/tilt (and maybe zoom) webcam that can be...

We are looking for some components that would have been originally installed in the wings of the following models: DG100, DG200, DG300, DG400, DG500, DG505, LS-4. We are hoping to source the components from a written off (wrecked) glider. Does anybody know of any of these models that has been...

I am upgrading my panel, and the big screen TV takes up a lot of room. Looking for 57 mm Variometer and Airspeed Indicator. Preferably in FPM and Knots.

Prefer Winter or Sage, 80mm, 1-10 kts scale but definitely workng well when removed Thank You Chris Cutler

My altimeter in my AC-5M is sticking. It works fine when the engine is on or when you tap on the window, but otherwise when gliding it gets stuck up to 100' worth. I suspect that a rebuild will cost as much as a new one will, so I'd rather go the route of fixing it myself (or replacing it with...

Hi, I learned to fly in a Schweizer 2-33 and did my first solo in one. I'm happy to be able to now sell them. https://www.cumulus-soaring.com/store/gifts/pure-planes-schweizer-2-33 Good Soaring, Paul Remde Cumulus Soaring, Inc.
