No final report?

Friend of mine just bought John Seymour's Ventus 2 and it had a canopy seal that was fixed to the edge of the canopy behind the pilot's head...It operated like a mylar seal and that's probably the best way to describe it... but it wasn't mylar. Is anyone familiar with this set up? Anyone know where...

Region 9 South starts today. Does anyone know if a shared SPOT page has been set up? I certainly enjoy watching the blips go around the course every day...

I joined AOPA hoping to get some help with the problems we're having here with our airport management, but they were absolutely no help at all, so I'm letting my membership expire. I cannot believe the tactics they use to keep me onboard! If they had only spent half of that energy helping me, I...

I don't quite get how things work at Mifflin. According to http://SSA.org and a google search the only soaring activities there seems to be during contests. There seems to be no commercial operation there nor any club. If I was to show up wanting to fly the ridge, how do I go about getting a tow...

I am considering to replace the top surface of our glider cover with TYVEK-RV. I am thinking to leave the white side out. Our current covers really have discolored to brown and the skins have shrunk some. Anyone have some TYVEK-experience when used as glider covers. I am specifically worried about...

What is the difference between the 'Gold' and 'Silver' League?

There seems to be problem to contact the company nowadays, they do not answer phone or reply mails. Does anyone know does this company still exist?

Planning a little trip around Africa -would like to visit gliding clubs/operations on the way. Apart from the well known clubs in South Africa and operations in Namibia, where else does gliding take place on the continent? -I have heard of operations in Zimbabwe, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Kenya in...

Here's the link: http://www.nbcaugusta.com/news/local/91780629.html Here's the funny story: When I landed, amidst 65 gliders in this competition, as I was rolling off the runway I noticed a massive news camera on a tripod. I slowed

Attempted 750km. Possibly could have done it if I continued south past Mansfield towards Plymouth for the last turnpoint... See ya, Dave "YO electric" Well, it wasn't quite as good a day as we hoped. As I thought, the early high cloud presaged overdevelopment. Launched first, shut motor down at...

I made my 6 month check up visit to my skin doctor yesterday, and in our conversations I mentioned I was a glider pilot and was trying my best to not have any more malignancies. I was pleased that nothing was found that needed to be cut off (for a change), but still had the usual substantial number...

We are looking for a new wheel brake master cylinder for our Grob 103 Twin Two Acro. The one that is in there is "Magura" brand, but no part number. This is obviously from a motorcycle, circa 1980, but we can't seem to cross reference. Some machining work was done on it to convert to fit a...

First flight after recover in the Cherokee today in Marfa. Late day launch but still got an hour with a climb from 1500 AGL to 5400 (10,200 MSL). Not too shabby and had a great time gaggling with friends. The glider flies great, very smooth at low speeds and i was able to circle slower than...

Does anyone have info on the wheel bearing assemblyl on this trailer? Is it a sealed bearing? Are parts available?

Anyone flying with the new Spot 2? There are 2 color options, the traditional orange/black and a new silver/black. Have problems with reflections on the canopy with either of these been an issue and is one preferable to the other? Thanks!

My glider N199AK supposedly landed at Johnstown, PA airport last year..........I have the Port Authority bill sent to me to pay for the landing fee. My question is: can I use this bill as proof that I flew there from Washington State? And if so, I believe that may make my flight one of the longest...
