What is a good source to find all the AD's on the Phoebus C for the last 10-12 years? Are there any critical or immediate AD's that must be taken care of...
Rob, There is one for the Phoebus C (also including the A and B) from 1970. There is also an AD from 1975 for the A and B models only. They are found by going...
Mike - I find it amazing that there are only a couple of AD's for the Phoebus in the last 30 plus years. That seems to be a testament to the quality of...
Rob, I agree. In my opinion there has not been much of an improvement as far as the build quality and simplicity found in the Phoebus. Some of the newer...
I noticed this past weekend that my Phoebus B's right spoiler was not flush with the wing when the handle was put in the retracted position. The left spoiler...
Hi You need to lengthen the pushrod to get the spoiler deeper in the wing. But first make sure there is not something that keeps the spoiler from going all the...

What Matts wrote is right. But..... Make sure you know why you need to lengthen the pushrod. If it was OK before something has happened and you need to know...
Markku- what I noticed when I went and checked further was that the spoiler would pop slightly above the surface when the spoiler lever was pushed forward and...
Hi Take a look in the files section. I posted a file named "Brake problems" that was sent to me two years ago (or something like that). I think I posted it in...
I thought you might enjoy some pictures of a Phoebus A-1 restored by Jim Hankins in Texas and stored for 10 years. (I finally flew it last week.) The logs...
Steve - It's staying in Minden. After recieving some sage advice from you & Mike, and discussing that Phoebus with my partners, we decided that it required a...
Hi, all, I'd like to introduce myself to this list. I'm Steve Young, living in Santa Barbara, CA. I just bought a Phoebus A as my first glider. I'm keeping...

Welcome to the group Steve and congrats on purchasing a Phoebus! Dale and I both use See You Mobile in our ships and we have been very happy with it. It ends...
Congradulations Steve! Please tell us about your first impressions and how you choose the Phoebus. I use freeware Soaringpilot software and a Palm M500. I'm...
Thanks, Jim, Matts and Bruno, for your congratulatory messages on my Phoebus A purchase. I still haven't had more than the one flight - a check-out ride under ...
Steve, First, congratulations on the nice, new airplane. I had a feeling it was a good one after I talked to Mr. Hankins before it was sold. What can you tell...
Hi, Bruce, Thanks for your congratulatory message on my Phoebus A purchase. Hhowever you may be getting me mixed up with someone else, since the seller was not...
I can directly compare an older Palm 500 B/W with a more modern color IPAQ (3850)and the difference is minor-to me. What type of data logger do you have in...
When you say the difference is minor (between B&W Palm and color IPAQ), do you mean both equally easy to read in the air, or both equally difficult? I wasn't...
I have to say that my older B&W palm is MUCH easier to read uner all lighting conditions than my newer HP 2210. I really love the functionality of SeeYou and...
Steve, Maybe I got the name wrong. Wasn't the seller up near the TX/OK border? Or maybe someone bought it from him and then sold it to you? Steve C Young...
Hello Phoebus owners, I got to enjoy a soaring flight on Sat w/Bruno. Of course since it was his home field he was off to the races before I could get in the...
Steve, In direct sunlight using Soaring Pilot in the Palm and Glide Navigator on the IPAQ. I don't think there is that much difference. Should say though that...
6% circling for a nearly 500K flight-that is impressive! Carl Herold would be proud of you. Post the flight so we can see it Dale. There is a OLC log folder in...
