Does any body have the BGA UK turnpoit list in .da4 format, or do you know where I can download it. The SAA site does not have that format available. Thanks.

The best way to get a good wind calculation while flying "straight", such as on a final glide, descending through wind gradients and shears, I do the following per conversation with Dave Ellis a few years ago: 1. Turn 45 degrees off course and fly straight for 10-15 seconds. 2. Turn 90 degrees in...

Long story short, I decided to go for broke and change out the two front rubber washers/ O rings in my pitot tube in the tail of my ASW-20B. Years of dry pitot tubes going in and out had taken their toll on the washers and they were starting to leak. Reminder to all - lightly grease your pitot...

We have a club ship in need of major repair to the main landing gear. We know of a couple of potential repair people/shops but are looking for more leads. Can you provide any names or numbers?

Hello all - I've decided that I need to build a tail dolly for my 1-35. It occurs to me that maybe someone has one they'd sell and that would save me the trouble...? One from a 1-34 would likely also fit...

I've researched the sight for as much info as I can gather for transponders. The choice now is, which transponder to buy. The Becker or the Microair? Is one really better than the other? There is not a real difference in the price point. Is there enough differencer betwwen warranty, service...

Where is the right place to go? So far, some wading through the Grob Aerospace web has hinted at USA dealers specializing in jets and such.

For some reason there seems to be a rash of new third party active flat antennas going cheap on eBay right now. Prices are around GBP 24.00 while retail prices range upward from GBP 35 or so. I just bought one for my GPS II+, fitted it and flew it yesterday. Works fine and is definitely giving a...

At the risk of 'preaching to the choir' I wonder what the first responses have been to DrJack's new subscription program. Hopefully there will be a flood of subscriptions to ease DrJack's toothache (mentioned on his site) - and most importantly that we all help out by encouraging our fellow club...

The adjustment knob on the lower left of my 302 came loose today. It was still attached to the metal rod that goes into the instrument and it appears that a set-screw came loose from the far end of the rod. Has anyone had this same failure? Does you know if I can easily repair this or does it...

Just curious - I ran across an old ad in Sport Aviation with a Mooney flying feathered prop, above an LS4 - N44SL. I'm curious who was the brave glider driver?

An e-mail was just distributed to those who filed a response to the CAA, with the following link regarding implementation of Mode S in the United Kingdom. http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/810/Mode_S_June07_A4.pdf One paragraph of interest is: Gliders would remain exempt from Article 20 (2) of...

It looks like I'll finish this batch a bit ahead of schedule. If I can finish making and adding the shank fittings this weekend I will start mailing them out Monday 28 November. It also looks like I might have one left over--when I make parts like this I always kit out one or two extra assemblies...
