My sources at Dryden believe that one of the pilots or mechanics may have taken the log books home at some point.. It's probably a long shot, but I'm offering a $500 reward for the log...

I use Google Groups to read RAS. I know there are other ways to reach it, but this has been my preferred method. I don't want to install new software or to have group messages appear within my email. Now Google has forced upon me their new, dumbed down, look and feel of Groups. It's been in...

Gents After Dave Nadlers deployment where he got knocked out and he deployed about 1 sec above the ground, I'm seriously considering a static line added to my 'chute. Any good reasons not too? I realize you have to remember to hook it up and disconnect it after flight, and if you bailed under a...

Hello all, I am a retired airline pilot who is getting back into GA flying. I intend to pursue a commercial add on this coming season assuming virus restrictions are lifted or changed.

Interesting home-brewed investigation into the drag between the fin-type and rod-type transponder antenna by one of our friends in The Netherlands. Seems like the fin type antenna - unless mounted exactly on the centerline of the glider, where the flow is expected to be parallel - may produce a lot...

Spatial disorientation. No real surprises. Wes, since you stalk my posts, pass this on to George, I think you have to be pretty stupid to fly aircraft that aren't equipped or certified into IMC on purpose.

I DON'T mean to stir up trouble on this forum with this question, especially being new, but have been wondering about this for some time. I am wondering how feasible it would be to do this with either a homebuilt or experimental glider here in the US? I figure this has been asked but didn't find...

Does anyone have an ILEC SB9 sitting on a shelf?

I ran across this fascinating thesis on winch launching from Germany by Christoph Santel (2008). It uses Matlab+Simulink for the modelling platform. He deals with a variety of issues such as steel vs synthetic cable....
