There doesn't seem to be much at the moment on the SSA contest page for the 15m Nats at Hobbs; can someone point me at accommodation/camping info for this site? TIA, Frank (TA)

I am interested in learning if other soaring clubs have a Janus 2-seat glider in their fleet, which model they have, its suitability as a club ship and whether they would recommend one to a club that was looking for a 2-seat cross country trainer. If you have other personal experience in the Janus,...

I recently read in a Canadian Aviation Newsletter that Search and Rescue strongly recommend that you put a statement in your SPOT SOS message that the unit is in an aircraft, as this will immediately trigger air search and rescue instead of a local response when the SOS message is triggered. They...

Why are you considering the replacement?Thanks in advance....Regards, Jim Somerville You are kidding, right? Uli Neumann

Does anyone have any experience with loading turnpoint data into the Zander SR940 flight computer? I have successfully loaded turnpoints into the Zander Flight Recorder but cannot get the SR940 flight computer to read them from teh Zander flight recorder. When I get my PC directly to the SR940...

The St Louis Soaring Association is interested in setting up a winch demo for our members at our field (H07) in Highland, Illinois. Are there any clubs with winches within reasonable distance that are willing to give us a demo, and possibly give ground launch endorsements? Our club is in the...

Rear Admiral Nick Goodhart was a truly remarkable man. Former World Champion, winner of the USA National Championship but not being a US citizen was place 'above the National Champion', American Legion of Merit awarded for his invention of the Aircraft Carrier Mirror Landing Aid system. His...

So OK, naysayers, doom mongers and skeptics may disagree, but (to me) good news is good news. As measured by the FAA's Preliminary Accident & Incident Notices - specifically the absence therein of any glider reports for the month of January - 2013 is off to a distinctly better start than 2012...

We had an overhead bi-fold hangar door cable snap yesterday (one of five). Of course those on the field opened the door anyway. Sigh. The cable had rusted through inside the guide tube on the wind up spool. We had one hell of a time getting the old rusty cable out of that old rusty tube. We...

Mr. Ray Galloway (P1) asked for me to post the following note: There has been much discussion over the differences between the FAI rules and the US rules. This is partly due to the fact that the US is the only country that does not follow FAI rules. At the 1985 WGC the US team was among the top...

According to the FAA aircraft registry, there are 20 LAK-17a registered in the USA. I've been talking with Luca at the FES factory and he has offered what looks to like a good deal to have the FES installed in our ships. He will come to this country to do the installations if we will pay for...

What have they got in common? Nothing other than I'm sitting in my living room watching it snow and dreaming about flying straight out again. I've flown three soaring safaris where two of us took a glider, car, and trailer and headed out for adventure. Twice we used 1,000 feet of rope and...

Hi Gang There appears to be several very bright PNAs available on the market including the Vertica 2 and the Oudie and several software packages including SeeYou, XCSoar and LK8000 (is GN11 and any of the other older systems still supported?). I recently purchased A Vertica and down loaded the...

Been unable to post to Naviter forum so asking here... I am using SeeYouMobile 4.34. I have SN-10 properly wired to PDA and SeeYouMobile set to SN-10 for hardware setting. Will SeeYouMobile use the SN-10 wind value (from NMEA data) for its final glide calculation? Thanks in advance for...

I'm a glider pilot from Michigan. I don't own a glider. I like to travel around and rent at various locations in the US. I've just been to Williams Soaring Center. They have very very good ships to rent such as Duo, ASW24 and ASW27 all with ClearNav. SoaringNV in Minden also has great...

I've been laid up for several days with the flu, and to pass the time (during periods of consciousness) I’ve watched all my glider videos. I was watching “Red Line Sky” today, and I saw a Jantar, callsign Hotel Victor. I know Henryck Birecky currently has a Jantar with that callsign. Does anyone...
