| Calendar-SSA-2008 | Soaring Calendar, 2008 From the Soaring Society of America The 2008 SSA Calendar is custom-designed with spectacular full color photos of sailplanes from photographers spanning the globe. Monthly grids feature plenty of space to write notes, make appointments and keep special occasions. Makes a great gift!
I must admit that I'm a bit biased about
this calendar because the SSA very kindly selected 4 of my photos
from the 2008 Albert Lea Soaring Contest for use in the calendar.
Click on the small images below to see medium resolution versions. The
photos look a bit better in the calendar. |

| Knee Board | |||||
| NavPad | NavPad Knee board for
PDA or GPS A good, low cost mounting solution for your handheld GPS or PDA in stick-controlled sailplanes, airplanes, helicopters, ultralights, etc. The display is visible at a glance without special mounts or permanent installations. The tapered circular base conforms to your leg and is secured by a simple Velcro strap. Your electronic device is perfectly protected against vibrations. Instead of a GPS attach a clip board and you have a hands-free chart holder. All Velcro tape is included. PDA and GPS shown in photo are not included. Patent pending. Why is the NavPad yellow and not black? In warm weather, the interiors of airplanes with canopies collect a great deal of heat. This applies to items inside the cockpit as well. As a result, the kneepad or similar items become unpleasantly hot, especially if one is wearing shorts. As far as preventing this heat absorption is concerned, white would be the best choice. Unfortunately, it isn't very attractive. The next best choice is yellow, which we think is the best compromise. |

| Switches | |||||
| Switch-PTT-EAO | Switch, Push-to-Talk This is a very nice metal push-to-talk button for use on the control stick. It is the same unit supplied by Walter Dittel and Filser. I have seen many low cost push-buttons used in gliders - they don't last very long. This is an industrial switch that will last for years. It has a very positive "click" so it is obvious when it has transitioned from off to on. Includes 3 contacts so it can be wired as normally-on or normally-off. Most radio installations require that it be wired as normally-off (current flows when it is pressed). Cable not included. If you want it with a cable you can order the Dittel version

| Suction Cup Mount for GPS Antenna | |||||
| SuctionCupMountGPSAntenna | Suction Cup Mount for
GPS Antenna This unit is designed for mounting a small GPS antenna to a car windshield but it also works great on a sailplane canopy. It is a thin steel plate with mounting holes for a variety of GPS antennas. It includes 2 small mounting screws for use with the GPS antenna. Many GPS antennas have built-in magnets which work great without any need for mounting screws. Velcro would also work great. It is easy to bend the unit to the desired angle. The 4 suction cups hold onto the mounting surface well - provided you clean the surface and wet the suction cups before mounting. This unit is designed to hold a light load such as a GPS antenna. It is probably not strong enough to support anything much larger. Dimensions It works great with the products listed below:

Anchoring System The harder you pull, the more it grips the earth. The only tie down with a mechanical advantage. Designed exclusively for aircraft. Protect your investment with this Revolutionary new aircraft anchoring system. Features:
Dimensions of carrying bag For many years I have used screw type anchors for securing my glider trailer. They are very time consuming to install and remove and physically draining. I am now using The Claw. It installs in a very short time and is also extremely easy to remove. Note: This item is somewhat expensive to ship due to the high weight. |

| Water Meter | |||||
| WaterMeter | Water Meter With garden hose inlet (female) and outlet (male). Filling a glider's wings or tail with the desired amount of waterballast can be difficult. This garden hose flowmeter makes it easy to precisely fill your glider to the desired volume. It features an easy-to-read odometer type readout in single gallons (down to the tenth) and an additional rotary dial with a sweep hand reading one tenth of a gallon per revolution with graduations down to 1/100 of a gallon (1.28 fl oz). There is also a spinning trickle indicator showing if there is any flow at all to detect leaks. Total registration on the water meter dial is up to 10 million gallons, but the meter will last much longer than that. This meter is quality constructed of nickel plated waterworks bronze according to ISO 4064 standards for accuracy, quality and length of service life. This water meter conforms to or exceeds all published US and European accuracy standards and will reliably detect usage down to a hundredth of a gallon.
Units: U.S. Gallons Included:
Note: There is no reset button on the meter so you need to write down the reading before you start filling. The best approach is to calculate the desired final reading before you start filling by adding the start value to the desired number of gallons. Waterballast Conversion Tables |
