Can anybody tell me the numbers to enter in the Cambridge
302 for the Discus A, or where to find these numbers?
Thanks.

I have just received our ASW19's flight manual which says to make the
approach as follows:
"The approach should normally be made at about 46 knotes. For
turbulant air a corresponding faster speed must be flown."

How much could you expect to pay for a Grob G-103.  What is the top dollar
for a very good one and bottom dollar for a not so good one.  I know that
you will say it all depends on hours and options etc but I just need a ball
park in AUD or USD.

I am selling my 15M glider hangar space at Omarama
airport.
This is a preferred space at one end of the newest
3rd glider hangar.

This is not a question, just a comment about a recent experience.
I have a fiberglass trailer that needed a repainting.  After asking
around some trailer manufacturers the general conscensus was to use a
two part epoxy paint.

"What world record was set in New Hampshire in 1969?"
The glider pilots of Region 1 are working to establish Mount
Washington, New Hampshire as the 14th National Landmark of
Soaring.

Looking for first-hand accounts of anyone towing with or towing behind
a Stinson, especially with a 200+ hp Continental or Lycoming.
Tow speeds?
Rates of climb?

Any comments pro or con about the Appleboy nose release?
Reportedly there are some PIK's, ASW's, LS's and Zuni's out there with them.
Had the same request on gliderforum.com for a few days.  A few views, but no
comments.  Perhaps someone here that I haven't already had an exchange

We have some nice iPaq 38XX and 39XX's for sale.
The 39XX has the brighter screen inside but the general consensus is that in
bright (sun) light the 38XX is somewhat better.
A non-glare screen protector also helps.

NTSB Identification: LAX05LA131

Accident occurred Wednesday, April 06, 2005 in Mokuleia, HI
Aircraft: Schweizer SGS 2-32, registration: N693U

A couple of ADs are coming due on my ship, so I thought I'd try to get
a bunch of other things taken care of at the same time (some minor
gelcoat work, a new air strut for the canopy, new mylar seals, maybe a
new seat harnes, etc.).

Looking at panel I see Ilec and LX computer with multiple display.
I suppose one is for the vario, what are the other indicating,
what is usefull. Thank you

Does anyone know where I can get the tie-down bolt assembly for a 1-26.  
Our wonderful airport lawnmowing crew mangled one while I was out flying
saturday.
Thanks

I would like to see KS fly the Duo for the first half and then switch to an
ASW 15 or like sailplane for the second half. It would be an interesting way
to check out the handicap system.
