Anyone aware of a site where one may bid for tows (a trailer) or to tow a trailer for someone else. Trying to get a trailer from the NW U.S. to the SW U.S. Thanks, Michael

The below is stolen from a post on rec.aviation.homebuilt. I will soon be illegal to park any aircraft in Jacksonville except in an enclosed building, and it will be illegal to work on any aircraft in any residential area. Somebody in power there hates aviation! Vaughn Introduced by Council...

Australia determined way back when the glider first appeared that the aft fuselage area had insufficient torsional strength and required strengthening. ( I suspect that they were a bunch of *******) looking through the articles that have appeared on the woodstock I see that it has been flown with...

Late August-early September 2006, taking my wife on a secondo luna di miele (second honeymoon - doing this about every 3 years seems to work so I can go soar on weekends) into northern Italy (Lake Como, Castelrotto), then to Hungary - my mother's grandparents emigrated in the 1860's - (Budapest,...

I susspect that anything as obvious as the following has been thought of and rejected for equally obvious reasons that I'm also not aware of. Anyway, here goes.... Why not adjust turn area tasks so that turn area diameters are porportional to a competitors handicap - i.e. small diameter turn...

Looking for some advice on my radio install, a Microair 760, Version M, which was working fine. I pulled my panel last week to install a clock I already owned. Tried to be careful as I could, but....... Now when someone transmits all I get is static (squelch like sound) in the speaker and when I...

A spectacular end to a week's fine soaring at the Region 9 contest in Arizona saw over 20 gliders on a 500km task that took them up on the high country with a final turn close to the south rim of the Grand Canyon. It was my first trip so close to the canyon and what a remarkable flight. Also note...

As I am English rather than French, I am not going to defend President de Gaulle, who for years vetoed the UK's applications to join the EEC, and who seemed to hate the British and Americans for winning his country back for him. Compared with the proposed Boeing SST, Concord was a relatively...

The GPS traces in my log files have what I can only describe as "position lock" in places where I circle. (See the log file referenced below.) Examining the file contents shows the same latitude/longitude repeating many times, updating once or twice, then repeating many times again, until straight...

Did you check the contacts in the S-Nav? Maybe they have some corrosion on them, causing the vario to see lower backup battery voltage. Steve Leonard 2 S-Navs, 3 L-Navs.

The contest is on the SSA schedule, Monday 6/26 was supposed to be the first contest day, but I see no results at SSA's web page. Was the contest canceled? I know at least two of the ten registered pilots could not attend... ~ted/2NO

I have a military bailout bottle, and the bottle is empty. It appears that the lanyard has been pulled. I do not know anything about these bottles, but it looks like there is some sort of "valve" or a one use plug in the hose that the lanyard actually breaks or ???? Are these worth refilling,...
