GPS receiver for LNAV by
soaringtheskies
I have a Cambridge LNAV and I want to replace my LX400, which is currently being used purely as a GPS receiver, with something else to provide a GPS feed to the LNAV, preferably without taking up a space on my instrument panel.
Any suggestions?

What Flarm really needs... by
[email protected]
Flarm needs a box that is similar to that used by A&Ps to do transponder checks. Something portable that would allow you to test the send and receive range of your glider on the ground. Idally you would do sy 4 tests. Off the nose, behind, and left and right.

Blanik Weak Link for Winch Launch??? by

Blaniks with. If you are using the CG bridle, do you use the blue tost
weak link (in the BGA list) or a stronger one? Blue seems too weak and
wants to break frequently and under only moderate climb angles. The

302 wind calculation by
AK
Does anyone have any insight into how a 302 calculates wind? How good
is it in regards to wind a straight flight with very little turning?
How valuable is it on a ridge? What does it need in order to
calculate
probable wind one 360 turn, part of a turn, two turns?
Any information is appreciated.

Static Wing Load Testing of Old Wooden Glider Wings by
LongJourney
I'm restoring a 1963 Std Austria and trying to decide the risks and merits of load testing the wings. I can't find anything definitive on the web, at least nothing that doesn't get contradicted by some other source.
My concern is that load testing may damage the wings in an undetected way. OTOH,...
