Re: [Aus-soaring] Air brake handles

Most aircraft designs are built in total numbers smaller than what a car manufacturer would put through the production line to debug the line. It is just good engineering to use what is available that will do the job. I'm guessing you've never actually done any engineering or manufactured

Re: [Aus-soaring] Air brake handles

Good engineering is when you don't re-invent the wheel every time. You'd like the $250,000 glider to cost $300,000 or more? I knew a bloke in California once who owned a business making switches for the aerospace industry. He had a large range of standard products but when his salesmen showed

Re: [Aus-soaring] High speed glider landing

About how the Shuttle used to land except the vehicle is a lot smaller. I think wings are the most useless things on spaceships though. Just land it vertically on rocket thrust as SpaceX is now doing routinely. Mike At 09:54 AM 5/12/2017, you wrote:

Re: [Aus-soaring] Flarm mouse troubles

Hi Simon, Let us know when you sort it out. Are the hardware/firmware versions the same on the good and bad units. Do the display units and the Flarm units need configuring for baudrates to match? Intermittent failures or stuff which checks out but doesn't work are engineering Hell. Mike
