Hi Rob,
Have you looked at XCSoar ? Try Google search.
I am about to try it on a PDA. I'm reliably informed that is the one and it is
FREE.
I hope it works for you (and me).
Cheers,
Alan McMaster XOV

I recently downloaded some aviation GPS software from
http://www.pocketfms.com/
Interesting in that you can get it to work on cheapo car navigators.
It comes with software for both your desktop computer and your pocket
PC or car navigator.
It is a 30 day trial and stops working on your desktop but mine still
keeps on working on my car navigator (Nokia 330) - just can't get updates
(airspace boundaries etc).
cheers

gee I got in in time with my kit - my old pump sure had a worn shaft.
My only problem is oil temp is way down - I even added plastic cardboard with
many holes burnt with soldering iron and still it runs far too cool- be
buggered to know what to do next. I mounted the cooler on underside of prop
with a lip to scoop the air in and the air goes out of oil cooler out its own
chute. Perhaps I did too good a job- would love to see 80deg c but alas I am
lucky to see 65degC!!! (this is L2000 in falke not dimona)

Hi All.
I have had a few enquiries for Fuel Pump Overhaul Kits lately.
The bad news is they are no longer available. Supply ceased in
January.
The thing is Most modern cars are fuel injected and thus run
electric pumps for the pressure and in fact most of the later model cars before
EFI became the norm used electric pumps too.
Thus as the old Volky's get less and less on the road the demand
got so low that it wasn't worth it anymore for the manufacturer to produce the
stuff.
Limbach searched hard for an alternative supply of the Diaphragm
and Pivot Arm with no luck. Seems there was only the one company left doing it.
Fortunately they did source a replacement pump with the same hole
pattern and Banjo type hose fitting which is almost a direct replacement. It
does require either a new Fiber Mounting Block or machining the old unit down
to the correct length.
They found an Italian Manufacturer of Stationery Engines that
still uses mechanical pumps and Carbs.
Thus "for now" we have an alternative pump. How long for we don't
know.
This type of problem isn't going to go away I expect. As with the
Fuel Pump I expect supply of Carby parts will dry up before I am done flying as
well so keep this in mind.
I am going to organize myself a stash of bits over a period of time
as insurance to keep me flying if stuff does dry up.
Cheers.
Nige.
