Hi, Will V7 vario support the advanced features of WinPilot Pro i.e. Climb Optimizer, Wind Calculation in Straight Flight etc... Regards Jarek

A short clip from where I work; Sundance Aviation, Moriarty, NM, USA. Notice there's no zip, no wow, no horrible, pounding "music", just the serene nature of the sport. I wish more soaring videos were of similar quality. http://vimeo.com/76386916 OBTW, I was flying the Pawnee that day.

Pilots, Thanks for all your help in the prior thread about selecting a ship: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rec.aviation.soaring/USacPAI8Pm4 I've decided on an ASW 27, Ventus 2, or LS6. If a pristine ASW20 or Ventus C were to show up, I would strongly consider one of those as...

The Aviators, a show that attracts 10,000,000 viewers in the US and 50,000,000 worldwide, has asked for story ideas https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153461439600508&l=0b6c9ead87. Their first ever segment on soaring will air in a few weeks time (watch for episode 4.11), and feature host...

Time for a new laptop and it looks like many of the desirable choices (for me) include Windows 8 64 bit. Are there problems running any of the legacy apps we use in soaring. I tried searching here and on Naviter forums but found little useful information. So, any experience, good or bad will help...

There has been some speculation on RAS in the last few days about an IGC approved Oudie. Today, Naviter announced the new Oudie IGC at: http://www.naviter.com/2013/11/announcing-oudie-igc/ The Oudie IGC is based on collaboration between Naviter and LX Nav and features the large internal battery...

Does anyone have a good excel W&B template for a ASG-29? Thanks!

It is looking like I will have an empty towball leaving SoCal (Cal City, Tehachapi, Mojave area) and heading generally north in early December. Northern California, Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, and Washington are all options. The schedule is still a moving target but if anyone has anything that...

Always trying to reduce canopy glare. Wish instrument manufactures would use non-glare glass but not so. An over-film like this would be worth a try: 3Mhttp://www.digikey.com/Web%20Export/Supplier%20Content/3M_19/PDF/3M_Vikuiti_Anti-Reflection_Matte_Removable_Film.pdf?redirected=1 Vikuiti?...

Having fun in the DuckHawk 15m sailplane By: Daniel Sazhin In early September, I had a fantastic day of flying at Blairstown Airport, the culmination of which was having the opportunity to fly Windward Performance's new DuckHawk. I had just flown the club Grob Twin Astir with my brother, promptly...

Looking for advice on how to send data from an ILEC SN10b to a pna device such as an Avier/Gliderguider etc. Thanks for any help. Mark

I have been waiting for a new glider for quite some time. It has finally arrived and the midwest soaring season is coming to a close. What are my options for winter soaring. I have checked out Seminole Lakes but I am having trouble finding a hangar to store my glider. Any ideas would be...

Like to fly at both TSA (Dallas - Fort Worth) and Moriarty (ABQ). MY heirs worry more about me hitting an airliner than another glider. Have high end avionics in the Piper (Garmin 750 with ADS-B in and out), but Piper display does not seem like it would help much in a situation like near cloud...

In order to facilitate the sharing of information related to ridge soaring in the Appalachian Mountains, I've created a new Google Group. A number of the "regulars" who watch the weather and produce forecasts have agreed to participate. I'm also hopeful that the various clubs and FBOs will join...

Seems to me, that a safe and fair way to start a glider race is to climb out the top of a start cylinder. To make starting out the top an option that most pilots would choose, the top of the cylinder should be about 1000 to 1500 feet below cloud base and 2000 to 3000 feet above release height. I...

Even though my manual refers to both a nose and CG release, my Ventus only came with a CG. I am thinking of having a E85 TOST release installed for safer towing. Has anyone added a nose release to a previously CG release glider? Dennis
