I'm headed to Elmira in 3 weeks for the Std. Nats and want to know what my options are for getting FLARM equipped. I missed a few seasons so tracked the whole PowerFLARM revolution via RAS. Not excited about buying one just yet. I understand there were some early units for rent at one time....

Can anyone out there tell me where I can purchase a small hand held final glide computer (like a revolving or slide rule type) that can be easily used to compute final glide from GPS data (eg distance to fly, head and tailwind components, altitude needed etc)? Years ago I had a FSW or FWS...

For years I've used XC Skies GFS as my standard reference. Ar the moment, it seems to have turned to rubbish. The New South Wales maps have a lot of square or rectangular areas in which the model changes drastically. Knowing it can't be real, I've switched to the local RASP models (which are...

So on my nice old laptop I ran IGCReplay all the time and really liked it - especially with the Google Earth plug in. I tried to install it on my new Surface Pro - and I am getting a Script Error. and can't watch flights :)- which means I have to work at work!! Any suggestions, before I become...

I have heard varying opinions about flying in Hobbs. I've never flown there, and am curious: what's it like, what are the dangers, what would I watch out for, how are the landing options, and what have been your experiences flying there for leisure or in competition? Some people say it's...

Recently somebody made a comment about my emergency ram air parachute and whether or not it has a slider to to slow deployment. I checked with my rigger and jump instructor and here's what he said: Your parachute has a slider. The maximum airspeed for slider-off deployments is 65 mph. In an...
