APIS motorglider problem 
  Has anyone with an APIS motorglider had the unfortunate issue of having the cable that connects to the spring loaded prop inter-lock bracket let go, allowing the roller to ride on the flange of the prop hub? A local APIS has had that very problem and unbeknownst to the pilot the cable or the locking bolt let go and the end result was the roller disintegrating and damage to the flange of the flywheel while the engine was running during a climb out.... more »

Cellular data access in-flight 
  I have heard that cell phone calls don't work well while flying because of hitting too many towers at the same time. But what about Internet access from a Smartphone. Does that work? I am thinking satellite weather photo access. (Not concerned about contest rules here.)

How do gas struts fail on clamshell trailer? Will the lid drop suddenly? 
  One of the lifting struts on my clam shell trailer lid is failing (partially or completely). It will not lock in the fully opened position so the lid sags down a few inches on that side. I suspect that the second strut is holding the entire weight. However, the lifting force required of my body to raise or lower the lid is symmetrical, so maybe both struts are providing some lifting force. Maybe the strut on the right has just lot the ability to "lock" in the fully extended position??... more »

Volkslogger - No Log Download Success "data -transfer ready!" 
  I've used my Volkslogger (VL) for years. Lately, I've been unable to transfer or download IGC log files to my PC. I'm using various PC's (Desktop; notebooks, etc) to no avail. With SeeYou Connection Wizzard and Streppla, using a USB Converter (usbconveters.com - model Ut-882)and custom cables, the LCD windows on the VL only shows "data-transfer ready!" with no further interaction to DL log files. I've used all this equipment in the past and it worked perfectly. Started having this problem in March 2013 when I thought it was solved by updating the FTDI device driver for the converter. Apparently, that probably wasn't the root cause of my problem.... more »
