Got a question for all you radioheads out there. I am installing a Becker Xnder and I notice my other glider has a 8"x8" or so grounding plane attached (glue?) on the inside where the antenna is mounted. Question??? I need ground plane information such as size, thickness, installation tips, do's...

Would like to see a JS 1 jet...any flying in the US and if so, where?

Since the 2-33, whatever it's demerits may be, will continue as a basic trainer, there is much to be said for going low tow. The student is less likely to allow the glider to get too high, and the instructor whose view is restricted downwards can see the towplane at all times. That brings...

If a PowerFlarm Core does not appear to be transmitting correctly (antennas have been checked, etc.) where can one send the unit and get support in the US? Does it need to go back to Germany? Has anyone ever sent their PowerFlarm Core in to have it checked out... Thanks

Page 16 of the V7 version 3.01 user manual discusses navigating with the V7, and has an image of the instrument in course direction mode. But I can't find any discussion of how the V7 knows where to navigate to (other than going "home"), or even how to get into "Navigate" mode. My Oudie has a...

Might be interesting to watch, especially if it is streamed live as indicated.. Found it on the weather channel... http://www.weather.com/video/im-not-afraid-to-die-45200?collid=/news/top-stories

The V7 manual shows a few sample configurations, but not one with a PowerFlarm Core. Are any special cables required? Does the PF Core get its power through the V7 or does it require its own?

$2.99 for a real time merge of ADS-B and radar? Is this too good to be true or is it time for me to finally break down and buy a smart phone? There is no obvious subscription fee (but that might be buried in the fine...

This is an attractive aircraft with a lot of room. It also says it can be used as a tow plane ?!?! Does anyone have any experience with it as a tow plane?

My wife and I are vacationing in Europe this year and are including a visit to Mont Blanc, near Chamonix in the French Alps. Naturally, I am trying to fit in a dual soaring flight while we're there. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks in advance.

I have 4 brand new LC-R067R2P1 battery cells (6V,7.2 Ah) which I plan to wire together into a 12-volt glider battery (2 in series, and the series string in parallel). All 4 cells have the identical notations on their cases. Each cell was labelled by the seller: "Top Charged 09/13". I measured each...

I have a Microair 760 that I installed in my ASW20 that didn't wire up like the instructions. The cabin speaker leads have 12v on them, burned up a new speaker. The only way I can use it is with a head set because if you use a boom mic I get bad feed back. I installed one in my LS1 and it worked...

Can anyone comment on the terrain for Nephi, Utah. Would it be suitable for an eastern pilot with limited XC experience in the west? Also, what have you experienced regarding typical winds. I'd be brining a Libelle 301. Penetration is limited. Thanks, 2C

Need the plastic inner bushing for a Wedekind sleeve on a 90 deg l'Hotelier connector. Any ideas for source of supply? Google search no joy! Thanks

I am considering purchasing a HPH 304 C sailplane. I need someone to transport the plane from Palmdale, CA to Westhampton, NY. The plane has a Cobra trailer for transport. Please advise me of the insurance that you have and the equipment that is available for transport. Do you have a flatbed...

Hi all, The news on flight 370 got more interesting today. It appears the plane flew for several hours after dropping off radar. This begs a few questions. Why, in this day in the security age, is it possible to turn of the transponders in flight? Why don't all airplanes have GPS tracking...
