Wanted Janus A right wing by
goneill
We are considering a repair of a Janus A
but to use my son's expression the right wing is "munted"
translation:heavily damaged
It is repairable "just" so I am hoping there might be an
another one somewhere in the world that is for sale that
is in better condition.

Winching-Cable danger by
Andy Davey
When I drove winches for the air cadets, we often had
problems with bits of cable flying about in the cab.
On the old Eagle winches there are 2 drums, one of
which is directly in front of the driver. If the cable
'threw a loop' then it would rattle against the totally
inadequate metal grille that...

AL-12: New ultralight sailplane by
ISoar
The US distributor of Aeros hang gliders has announced that the
Ukranian company's ultralight sailplane has had it's first flight.
This craft was built using the wing of Aero's rigid wing hang glider,
the Stalker. It was designed to be towed up by the same tugs hang
gliders use. I wonder what...

First Arrival at Marfa Wave Camp by
Burt Compton
First Arrival at the Marfa Wave Camp.
A car with a glider trailer slowly approached my "Marfa Gliders" hangar,
thankfully creating very little dust. I thought "here is someone who knows how
to drive on an airport!"
Noticing the New York vehicle tags, I greeted the driver and lady passenger
with...

Soaring poster in movie by
John H. Campbell
Saw the interesting flick "Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind' yesterday.
In one scene, I think in the offices of the mind-eraser company Lacuna,
there is a soaring poster in the background. Looked like an overhead shot of
an ASK-21.

New ASK-21 movie by
Tlewis95
Hi
My dad/CFIG, Curt Lewis, took some video as I was flying Windy City Soaring
Association's ASK-21 at Hinckley, IL. I edited it and added some Cheap Trick
music on to it and it turned out quite nice in my opinion.

HELP. I need a TRUE story for television by Monday by
John Shelton
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....

Mobile SeeYou & Winpilot by
Ian Molesworth
I find it quite surprising that quite a few people posting to the MCU forum
are passing comments about dropping WinPilot in favour of MCU. From what I
gather these people already own a very capable moving map and final glide
calculation package in WinPilot and most will have laid out...

Anybody have any tips on using the Volkslogger?
I have found the manual to be very lacking, the three buttons very

electric pump & inflatable seat cushon by
Udo Rumpf
Hi all,
due to premature aging, I need some help getting out of the cockpit
of the ASW24. Those that fly this type of fuselage know how deep it is
and it is not very easy to get out of it.
I would like a small high volume (small) electric pump and an inflatable
cushion that would help raise the...
