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...

I'm interested in leaving my Phoebus A assembled - at least during the summer. Does anybody have experience in using Jaxida (or other brand) covers and/or know...
How will you tie down the wings and tail? Have you built something that will attach to them? I have tied down the phoebus overnight once and helped Bruno do...
Hi, Dale, My Phoebus A came with fiberglass wing hangers that are used to support the wings in the trailer. They go over the wingtips just inboard of the tip...
Unfortunately my glider did not come with such things. I have no wing sleeves nor do Ih ave a rudder lock. I do have a fairly nice trailer and am working on...
Steve, I belive that the Compaq 1550 Aero is also a good display for Pocket PC. I mentioned that I use the budget set-up. I use the Palm M515 that supports...
Hello I use an Aero 1550 With GPS_LOG and it works fine. I donīt think that you can use WinPilot or SeeYou with it. You would need a more powerful device. ...
We desperately need to get a "new" trailer for our Phoebus B. The current trailer (one of those rear designs- the fuselage tail and the wing roots are at the...
Try Mark at; http://www.mmfabrication.com/ He can build a trailer to any size you need. There is also a used trailer for sale on the Wings & Wheels website ...
That Schroeder trailer is probably too small. I talked with the fellow and told him we had a chord of 49" and a max width on the current trailer of ~50" and...
Mark makes a very nice trailer. If you can afford $6K or so keep trying him. I think he is spending a lot of time flying OLC right now. Also George Applebay,...
Frank, Feel free to visit our trailer at Greater Houston Soaring Association and take measurements. I can take photos as well. Easy in and easy out, very...
