World's Funniest OLC comments? by [email protected]
Not since Pez D. Spencer have I found much in the way of humor in the gliding world. I am willing to bet there is some good content in the OLC database, whether it be the result of mild hypoxia or genuine comedic talent, let's hear about it! (yeah, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere)

Calling a Good Task by Brad Alston
All of this banter about classes, and what's fair or not for a class, leads me to a couple of questions. Now, please understand that I am not a competition pilot so forgive if I sound a bit naive. I have been doing a little online research but don't find a lot of information...or I'm looking in the...

Importing a used glider from Europe? by Terry Pitts
All, I've been looking at the adds at Wings and Wheels for the last year. I've often looked at ads here in Europe and thought, "Why can't I find this XYZ be in the US?" The sudden "ah ha!" moment came yesterday as I was looking at ads on Tim's website and saw a glider with German...

Number of aero tows in 2011 by Bill D
I'm working on some numbers for SSA Growth and Development. I need a SWAG as to how many aero tows were made in the US in 2011. Anyone care to guess? I know there are about 210 tugs, some more active than others. If each made 20 tows a week, 52 weeks a year, that would be 218,000 tows but I...

Cobra Trailer Screw Jack by JS
Old thread, remembered when the problem arose here. Recently flew Misti's Libelle and found the Y2K Cobra screw-type ramp jack to be almost unusable, even without that heavy fuselage on it. No cleaning... A couple of short bursts of Tri Flow bicycle chain lube, run it up and down and it works...

ADS-B out with a non TSO'd 1201 GPS sensor? by [email protected]
How does a FAA radar confirm if a non TSO'd GPS is connected to a mode S, ADS-B out transponder? Wonder if we'll soon see a transponder, ELT,or perhaps PowerFLARM offer an option to include a TSO'd 1201 WAAS/GPS sensor board? OK, so the transponder costs $2,300 and a TSO'd 1201 WAAS/GPS sensor...

An excellent article by Pete Harvey regarding flying the Antares 23 at Uvalde WGC includes the following: "One of the most surprising factors was the Lange total energy system. In Texas, the thermals were fast bubbles of strong lift - fast, but very small. With our high cruise speeds, it was...

Ground Launch At Roach Dry Lake by Dan Marotta
There wasn't sufficient lift to get away from a 1,400' AGL auto tow, but, still it was a lot of fun. As were the bonfire, dinner, story telling, beer drinking, etc. Here's a video taken by a camera mounted to the wingtip of my...

Poly Over Gelcoat by James Lee
I am looking for my first glider. Someone has a glider for sale that was built in the 70's. He sanded the old gelcoat and painted over it with poly. Are there any major potential problems with that?
