Aviation Forum / General / Soaring / October 2008

A fellow instructor and I were just musing today that this is the
perfect weather for students.  We live and fly in some of the most
dynamic soaring conditions in the world, where half the year you're
being battered by thermals from 11:00 am until sunset, and a good part

Does anyone have any experience driving SeeYouMobile from an SN10B,
using both the GPS data and the vario/wind/air data that the SN10 can

Wondering if it is worth the trouble to have a new SN10 wiring harness

Our club here in the States is considering purchasing a tow rope reel for
our Pawnee.  We have roads at both ends of our runway, requiring us to land
very long to prevent dragging rope/rings over the road.  We read old posts
on this subject but nothing was very conclusive.  Am ...

I'm a french glider pilot, flying at La Montagne Noire, near Toulouse; I
also bring up with a glider museum on the airfield. In our collection, we
have a two-seater Breguet 904, a Breguet 901 and a Breguet 905 Fauvette;

I plan on installing a tempeture guage inside the cockpit of my
glider.  I think it's a good thing to have that can add to safety.

received any responses from my queries in the Kestrel401 forum.
I recently bought a Slingsby T59D Kestrel 19.  Love the ship :)  Okay,
it's big and heavy, but so am I.

In a couple earlier threads related to a proposed Club class, I asked
pilots  who
don't compete now, but would if we created a Club class, to reply
either on line or to me as RC chair. I indicated I would report the

We are pleased to announce that the Craggy Aero Ultimate will now be
offered with SeeYou Mobile software or WinPilot PRO, ADV software. We
have received the SeeYou beta software and have begun testing.
We are very excited about being able to offer these two excellent

Our club is considering purchasing a second 2-33 (hold the flames
please) as a primary trainer. Our main reasons for these are 1) we are
small and have limited budget and 2) the cost of maintaining a 2-33 is
minimal thanks to their tank-like construction. I've seen a couple of

I own a Ventus 2CXM built 2007 with a factory installed Walter Dittle
FSG 2T radio.  I use the Sennheiser headphones (factory installation)
during the engine running procedures.  Unfortunately, I have always
had severe interference with the radio tramsmission/reception during
