While I was bookmarking the Antares I looked at my nearby link to
www.stemme.com and found that it now points to

Question: has anything happened to Stemme or has their URL been hijacked?

Anyone in ras-land no what loggers(if any) will no

files from his non-logger GPS is not being scored this

The original Faxet #1908 fuel pump died.
Looking for replacment.

Some time in the past few weeks I ran into an article that had reasons
for soaring pilots to use "Oxygen saturation meters".  For the life of

I am looking for a US source for a rechargeable (preferably gel or
sealed lead-acid) for the fin battery box of a Schempp-Hirth. I need
the extra power as well as the tail weight!  Dimensions are

Great guy. Great service. Best web site in the business. Prices not
always the best, but always reasonable when they're not.
I want to plug Tim Mara too, who also posts here now and then. Similar
reasons (Paul has a better web page, Tim gets the nod on selection and

I have a Ka6  CR-PE (SN 6310) wreck if  anyone is looking for Ka6 bits.
The glider caught a bush landing in a field and cartwheeled.  The right  
wing is OK, the left wing has the tip broken, but I believe is  
repairable.  The fuselage is broken in front of the empennage and the ...
