Sunday, November 3. How were the Allegheny ridges working yesterday from Eagle Field, PA to Covington, VA. Any over-development or snow showers?

Hi Gents Can anyone give me some help advice with my radio please. On the ground it transmits fine, but will not receive. Once in the air, like on tow and the rest of the flight it is 5x5, both transmitting and receiving. Crystal clear with huge range. What is going on?

Hello All, Been off RAS for awhile dealing with work stuff (instead of glider-flying, darnit). Now that we're entering the buying/selling season I am cranking up my efforts to acquire an ASW-27. If you know of a good bird that's not being flown, please let me know! If you have a '27 and need...

It looks pretty good... https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/on-the-trail/action-cameras/virb-elite/on-the-trail/action-cameras/virb-/prod119592.html The Elite version includes GPS, accelerometers, and barometric altimeter. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to...

If you got one drop me a line back channel. Thanks! Brian Roach b.l.roach2 -AT- gmail.com

Mostly Vermont. 44 days in 2013 and twice more if I'm lucky.

Looks like a front passes through Thursday into Friday with winds favorable for ridge in the Appalachians. However, the timing is slightly "off"; as of now it looks like it may clear too late to give us significant time on Thursday and winds may slacken by mid-afternoon on Friday. Haven't had...

The LX Nav team has been busy lately and created a couple of interesting new products. The Nano III - basically the same size as the Nano with a 2" colour screen that can display task, waypoints (cup format) and airspace (cub format). A great back-up recorder and back-up navigation instrument for...

HI I am in Africa and looking for low cost ways to further my flying. I have just gone solo and desperately want to get some flying in. Can anyone recommend some clubs for me Really much appreciated

Who should log the flight and claim the points for a student instructional flight? May both the student and the instructor claim the flight? If there is no specific rule for this, what are other clubs doing? While the instructor is the PIC, do the FAR's matter in who gets to claim OLC points? Do...

What is the best way to prolong gelcoat life? I have a friend that says that waxing, polishing is only good for the pilot, does almost nothing for the gelcoat. I really don't know much about this issue. Would it make sense to cut a bit off like .002 every once in a while to stop/prevent any...

Are some glider designs much safer than others? Or do certain designs put their pilots at risk for certain types of injuries during a crash? Looking at the Libelle with the bubble canopy it makes me wonder if the glider flipped on you during a bad landing or crash if the pilot would suffer head/...

Today on OLC there have been interesting comments from the OLC Team. Basically OLC are complaining to all pilots for not supporting them and paying the 10 Euros to get a smiley http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0/gliding/flightinfo.html?dsId=3412529 Unfortunately this is in German, but I...

Hello to you all! Old man just getting started in sailing. Moving to Las vegas, so I'm going to hold off on club for now, but my question is what to learn 1st.

Hey Guys, My glider and trailer are in my front yard ready to head out to Jean but I'm concerned about the weather. We had rain in the mountains east of Albuquerque last night and snow in the high country. How's the lake bed doing? There's nothing on your website. Dan, 5J

Did anybody else read the article in the October issue of Soaring 'My last dog-fight'? I must have missed the memo but it seems like the US-law enforcement agencies have declared open season on the GA or more specifically glider guiders. First the totally unwarranted arrest in SC and now this...
