Fellow soarists, I did not make myself clear. My apologies. The production company is not making a slasher flick. It is trying to find EXPEDITIONS with an element of danger that might include a survival segment. In soaring, we have plenty of possible danger. These guys are seeking expeditions....

I'm installing a ClearNav2 and already have a Cambridge LNav / GPSnav w/Cambridge vario. Is there any reason to keep the Cambridge combo in the panel? Anything it can do that the CN2 can't? Should I just install hole covers and try to sell the Cambridge combo?

Interesting home-brewed investigation into the drag between the fin-type and rod-type transponder antenna by one of our friends in The Netherlands. Seems like the fin type antenna - unless mounted exactly on the centerline of the glider, where the flow is expected to be parallel - may produce a lot...

My trailer arrived with two soft solar chargers attached to the roof top via a sort of caulk/goop. Two years later the trailer is leaking under the solar panels. Looking for a recommendation for a goop or caulk that is white or clear, and can withstand the sun and heat of the Western USA flying...

Is anybody running xc soar on a kobo connected to a Cambridge 302? If so, what type of cable did you use to connect, and which port on the kobo did you tell xc soar to use? I'm running it on a pocket pc now, using a custom serial cable. But the kobo is much easier to see. I made up a homemade...

For year, I used to use mirrorglaze for my canopy, almost every preflight. Then it disappeared from local plastics supply. Bought some online a year or two ago, used with good results. Yesterday, I squirted some on the PIK canopy and immediately started polishing. To my dismay some patches seemed...

For years I've used XC Skies GFS as my standard reference. Ar the moment, it seems to have turned to rubbish. The New South Wales maps have a lot of square or rectangular areas in which the model changes drastically. Knowing it can't be real, I've switched to the local RASP models (which are...

I am seeking information on installing a glider tow hitch on Piper Cherokee Aircraft. Anyone have experience, pictures or paper work? Thanks Bill Snead

Hi All, In the process of trying to install a TOST towing system on a Super Cub. Original part received was a different design and no longer made by TOST, and there was no way we could make it fit, so it's having to be returned to the dealer. So now, we are thinking of putting the current...

What is the best buy and ease of use, like entry of coordinates? Any comments and suggestions. Udo

Does anyone have a source for 2-33 brake drums? We are being quoted $900- $1000. YIKES! Thanks Kurt

Hi, A customer has asked me to help him sell his used Cambridge Aero Instruments CAF-302A GPS flight recorder. This unit is the version that does NOT include a variometer or speed-to-fly director. The customer purchased this unit from me (new) on July 1, 2005 - so it is only a few months old. ...

Interesting article on this ship. Anyone know how much these cost? Possibly over $200k here in the US?

Our Soaring Club in Vermont, USA is looking to purchase an ASK-23B with trailer. If anyone has information on one For Sale, Please let me know. Thanks. Bill Batesole

The photo gallery on the SSA webpage has a photo by Mike Abernathy with this description: "Bob Carlton working on his innovative conversion of an Alisport Silent to be self-launching using 2 AMT USA jet engines. Bob has test flown it and reports it to climb well." Can anyone tell me the email...

Any CFIG's within a days drive of Buffalo, NY willing to give a ground launch endorsement. I've found an airport that will let me auto- launch of their 5600 ft runway. This seems to be preferable to 2.5+ hr drives to reasonable glider clubs. TIA 2C

I have a spare, brand new, never used Mecaplex sliding window for sale. It comes with installed pop-out vent scoop. $350 Includes first class USPS domestic shipping. An expensive piece of plexiglass, but still a $70 discount over what it costs at the store. Pictures available.
