Axel does not answer my emails, that is why I asked for help.
Here is a copy of my confirmed order.

Thank you.
18 months seems like a long time to me.

On December 12, 2011 I ordered two 40% Axel pilots.
The expected delivery date was May of 2012.
In October of 2012 I emailed Axel to inquire about a delivery date.
There was no reply
So I am...
Totally Awesome!
15 amps/pin is about right. The high current ones are for power only and three pins are joined for plus and minus.
There is also an eight pin connector in the Mustiplex style. I think you can find...
Chris and Stephane:
Great posts. LOL

Thank you for all your good ideas.

I have a buyer for my ASW28-18 5M. The glider has to go from CA to MN.
This will be a one way box or crate strong enough to get the glider to its destination undamaged.
Should it be cardboard,...
Hey, those are my pilots! They just got theshipping address wrong.
I have been waiting 15 months for the ones I ordered. I suppose they will arrive eventuallly.
In the meantime I won't have to...
Funny that you should ask.
I have a 5M ASW 28 that I am thinking about selling. It is an "H" model brand you can see it on the Soaring USA web site.
The 28 has no flaps. It thermals very well.

I am sorry that we didn't get any pictures of Rick and his Antares, but he was in the air most...
Some of us stayed over on Sunday (March 17) and the flying was great. Rick Shelby must have gotten close to two hours in one flight with his Antares. The most I could handle was about 40 minutes with...
Tom:
You are right. Let me explain.
The failure occurred on the solder side of the wing connection.
It is a compact Sub D connector used for VGA cables.
The connector was wired four negative,...
Yes I have experienced Sub D connector failure. That is one reason why I responded to this thread.
The most recent one was on a 8M Duo Discus. One of the plus leads (wired in common) shorted out a...
The interesting thing about our activity (sport) is how deeply you can get into just about any aspect.
I agree with what Len said in the previous Post.
If you don't want to solder, the male...
Sub D connectors are not designed for repeated connection/removal. The cheap ones with rolled pins and low temperature thermo plastic housings are subject to failure in this application. I suggest...

I am not sure that I understand the question, but here is a response based on what I think you asked.
In the system mode select item 22 wing type and enable tip ailerons.
Plug the tip ailerion...

Try selling anything with a swastika on EBay! Your add will be pulled as soon as it is discovered. You might even get some nasty responses.
I think there are two issues here. First is the...
