Flarm IGC files on non-IGC certified Flarm? by
Movses
I'm somewhat confused with the functionality of the flarm core in regards to producing flight traces.
I was never able to obtain a trace from my Flarm Core Pure.
I put the usb drive in, turn it on, wait for the light to settle to green, turn it off, pull the drive - nothing.
Updating settings from...

Tost brake bolt shears off by
Jack Glendening[_2_]
I am wondering if others have experienced the shearing of a Tost brake
bolt resulting in brake failure - I'm speaking about the bolt which
extends from the hub and is secured to the aircraft frame (not
the bolt which extends for the wire lever attachment). I experienced
such a failure on my latest...

tempted to respond to Karl's comments there; but I didn't want to
hijack the topic. So I'll post this in a new topic instead:

Diana-2 - master-piece or flop? by
BlueCumulus[_2_]
I have read very good critics about Diana-2
but as well very bad news about it.
The good news are from the people who seem to have flown the first two
Prototypes. The bad rumors I heard about number-3 of Diana-2.
Obviously the main difference is, that the wing position was shifted some
centimeters...

Heavy pilot - what glider to opt for? by
[email protected]
Good evening,
I need some assistance!
I am an early solo pilot looking to buy my first glider, but don't really know what to go for! I want it for local soaring, but eventually to go cross country in it.
The slight issue is that I am 6`4 tall and 17.5 stone - arguably too heavy, but the question...

Bravely bold Sir Robin
Rode forth from Camelot
He was not afraid to die
Oh Brave Sir Robin
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways
Brave, Brave, Brave Brave Sir Robin.
He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp
Or to have his eyes gouged out, and his elbows...
