I have a customer who ordered a wing wheel for an LS-8. I have a wing profile template, but I need a measurement from the ground to the bottom of the wing at a position with a 29 inch chord so I can determine how tall the wheel fork needs to be. I tried to calculate it from the 3-view drawing in...

Anyone who has flown with me knows the quality of my radio transmissions both in and out really blows. I'm ripping out as much as possible and starting fresh. It would be great to replace the boom mike wiring through the right side wall to make sure it is not part of the problem. Has anyone...

A 2012 VW Golf is rated to tow 3000 lbs in Europe and 1000 lbs in the USA. Why? I'd expect that a Golf towing a 1800 lb trailer at 60 mph would be no problem, until I had a wreck and the insurance company tried to deny my claim. Here's a guy towing an AirStream trailer with a Golf...

Can anyone take a pic of the forward metal plate that secures the gear handle in the forward position and send it to me?, Mine has a lot of wear and is deformed, I wish to replace it and maybe others are in better condition to give me an idea of it's original shape.

I just updated my Oudie2 to version 6.17.001, and copied onto it's root directory the files for updating my LXNAX V7 firmware to version 4.98-99. When checking the Setting menu in SeeYou on the Oudie2, I could not see anymore the LXNAV V7 or LXNAV V7(2) that used to be there for doing these...

Hello, Has Anyone connected a PowerFLARM Brick in a LX Zeus? I'm also curious to hear about experience with the LX Zeus. It doesn't seem to be widely used. The LX9000 is everywhere, but the Zeus? Documentation (manual) is also very poor for the Zeus compared to the LX9000. Thanks, gabriel

Scott, Talk to the pilots on the ground first. Tell them you'd like to try and join up. Enter the gaggle in the direction that has been established. Stay in a position that allows you to see the other gliders and have them see you. Try not to get directly beneath someone, in case they goof and...
