Following my post last week concerning the missing competitions in the SSA magazine calendar, the February issue arrived with more listings. Unfortunately, the listings concerning 2007 Mifflin, Ceaser Creek and Hobbs contests are erroneous. Mifflin is hosting the 15 Meter Nationals (not the...

We want to hang up our ASK13 in our hanger. Our ASK13 has a nose wheel and glass fuselage modification, that is why a rope or a band/strap hang is not possible. We know there are 2 holes on the outside of the fuselage around the mid section of the cockpit. Maybe this can be an option for...

Kudos to Tony Smit, FBO of Benz Aviation, Ionia, MI, for hosting a youth camp and soloing nine new glider pilots! Way to go, Tony!

My SZD-55 (built 1990) had developed play in one aileron over the years. A powerpoint presentation with the relevant Flight Manual pages (allowable play), drawing of aileron system (Tech Svc Manual), and additional drawings and part numbers required to effect the fix, including the cause, and...

Has anyone seen a list of presenters for this years (2016) ESA's Western Workshop? I am thinking of attending this year, but would like to know who is speaking when.

To a very happy buyer. I've no doubt he'll have many enjoyable hours in it! -- Dan, 5J

Hello everyone, I'm thinking about replacing my current Colibri logger with the new version with built-in Flarm. It seems to be an easy way to add Flarm without the hassle of rewiring and adding yet another box to the panel. Any experiences and pros/cons out there? Reliability? Compatibility with...

Our ramp is filling up fast as our first practice day is tomorrow, June 30th. Pilots meeting is at 9:30 am and we grid at 12 noon. We are expecting nearly a full grid for the practice day. Weather the last week has been warm and blue. It should stay that way until maybe Tuesday when we think we may...

Thanks Robert for the nice summary. Also one should mention the shrinkage that will normally follow with the broad areas of bonding paste, which (depending on post-cure handling) may lead to expensive refinish for a relatively new glider... Best Regards, Dave "Robertmudd1u"...

Are there any handheld radios that can also be conveniently panel mounted? I know there was once a Delcom that could, but it does not seem to be available in the USA. Appreciate any info. Thanks,

Hi, I just want to use this forum to thank Adam Schneider, the guy behind GPS Visualizer, for providing this fantastic tool - for free! As you might have noticed, we used it on the homepage of the World Gliding Championships 2006 to display IGC-files both in Google Maps, Google Earth and as...

The OLC will reject a Cambridge file that does not have the G-Record. It has rejected my file that was recorded by SeeYou Mobile in my Ipaq. Yet a friend has no problem with getting it to accept a file that he records in his SN-10. I believe the SN-10 file has no security. Does anyone know why...

A firm called ZS 'Jezów', in Polish Lower Silesia, is the Type Certificate holder for this aircraft. Their main office is in Bielsko-Biala - where the owner lives. I suggest contacting (in English) a Mrs. V. Mynarska - at the Bielsko office ) - and all will be...

I'll likely be in the the Frankfort area (Bensheim) mid-late October. Is there any soaring to be done there at that time of year? Thanks in advance.

I am Jeff and I live in Albuquerque, NM. If anyone needs a glider transported I am available to do the work. I have a very flexible college schedule and I am willing to travel to where the glider is. I also have access to a vehicle that can tow from a buddy of mine. Call me at 505 980 5377 or email...

Since July, when I cashed in a "trial lesson" voucher at a gliding club in the Black Mountains of Wales and had my first experience of gliding, I've been lurking here but otherwise stranded on the ground staring wistfully at the sky. I'd warned my wife continually of what she was in danger of...
