Hi all, The windows box I used for these things has ceased to be. It was surprisingly easy to get "LXSim" working using WINE and the wonderful http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/ But the other one I need, "LXStyler" doesn't quite work. It starts, but selecting a configuration and then any page...

I will be looking for a 1-man wing rigger for a DG-1000 at the SSA-Convention. Ours (it seems to be a standard DG rigger) appears to be to weak for the heavy DG wings. The linear roller-bearings have bent, and the balls are falling out. Also, when the wings are flat (in flight config), the...

Hi All, As a recently licensed pilot I decided it would be a good idea to learn more about soaring weather prediction, specifically the workings of a Skew-t graph. I combined that with learning more about developing Apps for Android, so yesterday I published by first Android...

I have two working PDAs, with charging stands and AC adapters. Both had batteries replaced about 10 years ago (easy to do, in any case). They are an HP 2215 and Compaq 3835. An SD card with SeeYou mobile 3.11 is included, runs on both PDAs. I used them for several years: the 3835 has a good...

Hi All, I am a fairly new CFI-G, just completed my second season teaching. at a small but growing club. One area of opportunity we have for improvement is in preparing our students for the written and oral exams. To help with this I am thinking of running my first ground school. I am looking...

I am anticipating flying the USA Club Class Nationals in Hobbs, NM at the end of June. I am using an Avier/V2 PNA running both SeeYou (licensed) and LK8000 programs. I have gone to the world wide turnpoint exchange to get the contest data points, but I am looking for where to go to get...

Get a grip man. Using the death of a pilot at a competition yesterday as a carrier for a self-obsessed monologue about how right you were to turn down your invitation to the event? Classy stuff. I see you're also deleting comments from and banning from your Sean's Sociopathing Page anyone...

Who has done a loop in a standard cirrus? Any comments or hints. Currently getting some acro training with the goal of looping my cirrus.

Yesterday (Friday, 19th) was the last day of the Australian Multi-Class Nationals, and a great day to end it on. There were climbs to 14,000' (field elevation a couple of hundred) and fast cruises. I stayed up until midnight watching the finishes on gtrack. It was an area task, which is not as easy...

In the Chile Grand Prix thread our good friend Sean Fidler (Wilbur) makes an impassioned plea he couldn’t possibly be Wilbur because he was on an airplane with several fellow soaring pilots when the latest Wilbur post appeared. Of course such protestations assume that 1) said pilots (if they...

In the most recent edition there is an article focused on the newer wing-fuselage junction designs. On page 5 there is a picture of a sort of gull wing design at the root and its identified as an Mu 31. On the following page there are three more pics of an Mu 31 that, to my eye, look nothing like...
