For RC cross country soaring I use the Garmin Etrex Vista GPS in the
glider.
It weighs 5 oz. and sells for around $300. This is the only Etrex model
that
will work for what we do. It fits easily in the SBXC or scale ship but

Chuck and all,
Several years ago, my OFB Dave Beardsley and I went out to fly some gliders.
He just happened to have one of his power planes in the car as well and
decided to get it out and let me fly it a couple of times. I had been
flying gliders for 20+ years at that time so did not figure

Hmmm Dead stick. The junior of our team to Canada last year borrowed my
AVA for some hand launching after the days flying (he was basically
borrowing any model he could get all week).
This is dead stick...

I always thought a power plane was just a slope plane with an engine on
the front -- you used a sort of anti-crow control on the radio to go
up instead of circling the plane in the lift band. If the engine quits

Hi guys,
I picked up a Twin Star for my son (he travels like me but mostly
snowboards/BMX/mountain bikes). But the wing bolts must have dropped out in the
motel room I packed it up in.
They are pretty long and metric, so if someone knows the size and maybe a
source for plastic bolts that will

I enjoyed flying with you for the short time I could today.
Unfortunately I did not follow the guys the first time they sky'd it,
but hey, I got 3 practice launches in before they came down.
Ditto on the blaster, its a great plane. I dont get to fly it much and

Well, they're finally done. I don't come out with shameless plugs too
often, but this is one that I'm proud to have our name on, and relieved to
finally have safely in production.
After enduring more than our fair share of delays, attacks of Murphy's
Law, and general snafus, I am pleased to

GPS is a wonderful navigation tool and position accuracy is excellent.
The altitude function is nowhere near as accurate as the Lat/Lon.
Just remember that the altitude it says may be +/- a couple hundred feet.

on a spin landing..immediately.
