Compaq Pocket PC Repair by
Ken Pruchnick
I have a Compaq Aero 1500 Pocket PC that has a crack in the upper
third of the screen. It worked for awhile but now the upper half of
the screen is blank, but the bottom half seams to work ok. If I touch
the upper right blank corner of the screen it seems to work, but the
upper half is still blank....

Brad
Recently our Club, Evergreen Soaring, bought an APIS 13M from Robert
Mudd. Through a lot of dedicated work by our chief CFIG, we began
checking out pilots last weekend to fly her. There were about a half

Discus Prandtl tube by
Serge Serfaty
On the vertical fin of the original Discus, there are
3 holes. one for securing the elevator, one where the
total energy antenna fits in and in between a small
tube that sticks out about an inch and a half and is
chromed.
It looks to me that it could be a Prandlt tube. Unfortunately
it is plugged...

Boom (gooseneck) Vs ambiance microphone by
Ludovic Launer
Hi,
I saw a glider recently with a "ambiance" microphone installed in the
instrument panel (facing the pilot, it only takes a small hole in the
instrument panel).
I was wondering how this performed compared to what we're used to = goosneck
microphone on the cockpit side.
I like the idea, it's...

How Reliable Is Your Panel? by
Chip Bearden
(from a related thread)
It worked fine but I could hear it on the radio. Puting the switch in a
metal box and grounding the box should help but it seems silly to me since
the Volkslogger and SN-10 both can log the flight and are both very
reliable. Of course the SN-10 log can't be used...

Question about SpaceShipOne... by
Oscar S Alonso
A stupid question for RAS members...
Assuming you have the financial resources could you legally fly the
SpaceShipOne with a Private Pilot Glider with a Motor glider endorsement?
