SSA Growth by
Bill D
The result is small, may be a fluke and it's too soon for the
LetsGoGliding campaign to claim credit but, since February, SSA
membership has grown at least 50 members every month with 74 new
members in April which represents a reversal of the long term downward
trend.
The number of bumper stickers...

External Mic for Handheld Transceiver by
Duster
I have an ICOM handheld transceiver that I use in gliders, but want to
configure a hands-free push-to-talk system w/external mic. My problem
is coming up with a good microphone that works with this. Attempts at
using mics with the minijack input has yielded poor voice transmission
compared with the...

Measured current draw, PowerFlarm Brick by
Evan Ludeman[_4_]
PF manual does not list typical power consumption. Because PowerFlarm
can supply power to other devices, this is a variable figure. The
manual says only "up to 1.2 Watts", or 1 amp at 12V. That's rather a
lot, so I decided to check. My PF brick is connected to a Butterfly
57mm flarm panel...

Lake Elsinore, 1-26 crash landing video by
David Reitter
The video documents the outlanding mishap of a club 1-26 near Lake Elsinore. It was discussed during a safety briefing at that club, and I think it is mentioned in the current Soaring Magazine. Worth watching:

Paragliding task score software by
[email protected]
Hi,
I'd like to write a small programm (online) to evaluate our paragliding competitions. We usually set a couple of turnpoints with a radius of 400 meters and the aim is to pass all these one by one and fly to the target cylinder, the finish. Just to get an idea how it looks like, I made a small...

Video of Cockpit Tour While Flying in Glider by
Bruno[_2_]
This last weekend I ended up not doing any XC flying due to many
factors but it was still a beautiful day so decided to do a little bit
of filming in the cockpit to give a tour of glider instruments and
controls. Yes, I am sure many of you could have done much better but
it was a single off the...

EW Microrecorder External Power by
[email protected]
I tried connecting my EW logger to external 12V power from the glider per instructions in the manual. Current draw was reasonable (150-250 mA), but the unit became extremely hot (I couldn't hold it) and it stopped working for the rest of the day. The next day it functioned normally.
Does anyone...

DG-300 Oxygen Cylinder Size? by
kammeyer
Hi All,
I'm purchasing an oxygen system for my DG-300, and I'm not sure which cylinder to buy. Can any owners comment on whether the 5.25" cylinder works? My measurements indicate it will be tight but perhaps will work.
Thanks!
