I wrote to Spindleberger about this, but they are on vacation for the entire month of August. Hopefully someone on RAS can provide a solution before the Spindlebergers return. I have a 1983 Cobra trailer with a metal top. On the rear of the trailer, one of the sliding rods in the locking mechanism...

He's disappointed with the anemic sales of the book at the moment and i thought that maybe the soaring community at large might know of small...

I know that several glider operations in the US have negotiated "wave windows" to allow gliders to fly in wave above 18,000 feet. At Jean, we sometimes get thermals (near Mt. Charleston) that extend well into the Class A. (though how far, I don't know, since I can't go there!) What is the...

Is there any simple way to fix a small self-contained "web-camera" to the wing or tail of my glider? I have a Tony Hawks Helmet Cam, designed really for skateboarding, and I've worn it or affixed inside the cockpit a few times, but so far held off affixing outside. Tape would have seemed the...
