We are going to be selling our club Pawnee towplane soon and I wanted to find out if it is acceptable to place a description, price and contact info on this mail list. I am going to list it later on Barnstormers etc. but wanted to give other clubs the first opportunity as it is set up for towing...

Steve: I flew a Discus A for 4 or 5 seasons...several hundred hours....many 4+ hr. flights in big crowded contests and one 1000K flight of ~10 hrs. Then I was 6'-1/2". 175 lbs, average build. I used a Softie 'Chute with one inch of Temper-Foam on seat pan for cushion. Tight fit but comfortable...

Who's the tallest person flying a discus 2a? Anyone over 6' tall flying one? What's the comfort level for a 6 foot 1 inch person for 6+ hours? Inquiring minds want to know. .... Steve

I am researching the IS28B2 Lark for our club. From what I can tell these aircraft reach their life limit around 2014. Am I correct in this deduction? The info is pretty scarce. In fact I can not find a copy of EO-24 anywhere on the web. If this is true, is everyone planning to convert to...

We want to install a tow hitch on a recently acquired Husky in preparation for the contest season. Is a Tost hitch required or preferred for SSA sanctioned events? Is the venerable Schweitzer hitch still OK ? If so, for how long? Tost is the standard in Europe. Is the US moving toward that...

John R. "Moose" Gravle, towpilot extraordinaire, died peacefully on Friday after a short period of declining health. Towpilot, raconteur, curmudgeon, and good friend, he will be missed by pilots throughout Region 2. At last count, he had well over 35,000 tows in his logbook, and countless...

I know that a number of folks have been waiting for hard data on the current consumption of the new Trig transponder in actual operating conditions. I measured the current consumption today on an actual flight of 2 hours 52 minutes. The flight was in fairly congested airspace all within 10 miles...

Hello: I realise there is no data in N. America yet, (put on a Jamaican accent: "soon come, man!") but has anyone developed a logger which uses FLARM data to generate a tow sheet for club or commercial glider operations? One tech I knew was working on this a few years ago before family...

No final report?

I have looked at the LK8000 video and browsed some of the forum threads. Would someone please tell me: Where can I find list of supported hardware devices? Where can I go to download PC and target hardware apps? thanks

Any Jantar experts out there? What the difference between an SZD-48-1 and SZD? I don't really know that much about these aircraft. At the moment I'm trying to help resolve an issue with play in the ailerons on a glider that is suppost to be an SZD-48-1. One of the control rods has a lot of wear...

Hey Comrades, I have been booking my hotel rooms via internet portals for several years now...i like doing so because you get to compare who is asking for the lowest price on particular hotel room.I am now in dilemma.....between online hotel bookings and personal walk in bookings....where does one...

Installed new gas lift springs purchased from Spindelberger yesterday afternoon. Trailer is early 1990's aluminum top Cobra for a Discus. Installation was relatively straight forward BUT I cannot get the lid to fully close now. I am now stuck with partially open trailer. One side is almost...

Hi, I am helping a customer sell his Cambridge GPS-NAV Model 10 GPS Flight Recorder. I have thoroughly tested the unit, replaced the main and backup batteries, tested the GPS and logger (in my car) and calibrated the unit. It has the latest firmware and software and is a great companion to a...
