Uvalde Day 5 by BB
It took a long time to get going today. Hot, blue, hotter, bluer, the 201 libelle sniffer grinding away below release altitude. We finally launched about an hour late, starting on a shortened 3 hour turn area task around 3:30. I and several other pilots found a shear wave which let us start above...

Lambada Owners New England by freeflightman
Hi, Are there any Lambada owners in New England? I am looking for folks who have flown one or own one or are looking to own one. From the reading I have done and the comparisons I have made the Lambada seems like a very good choice for the $ expenditure. I have flown, Ximango, Katana, Grob &...

Bald Eagle by Mike125
Today was a great soaring day here in the mid-Atlantic region with bases 6000' AGL and cu everywhere. All types of birds were making use of the abundant lift with gulls, swifts, swallows and red tail hawks making their presence known. A fellow club member was telling some of my relative/passengers...

Uvalde Day 4 by BB
After much petitioning by its advocates, we got the good old fashioned assigned tasks today. Start gate roulette. Gaggle flying. Leeching. Picking off markers. Totting up tail numbers as you pass them by or cringing as they pass you. 15 meter was a 275 miles, and open 332 even though open launched...

http://www.canadabizmart.com/bootstrapper/collection/spectacular-cockpit-photos/ This web site has some nice pictures of aircraft cockpits, including two gliders. If you scroll down you will find an LS-4 flying inverted. What caught my eye is that there appears to be four (4) varios in...

Gear position to rig by Andy[_1_]
I noted in John's USA team Blog that he lowers the gear before rigging. I know other pilots do this too. I have to ask why. For modern glass gliders and Cobra trailers ... Reasons for leaving the gear up until the wings are on: 1. If gear is down and a hydraulic trailer jack bleeds down...

Trailer tire pressure remote monitoring systems by Eric Greenwell
After a trailer tire blowout last year, I installed a remote monitoring system that displays the trailer tire pressure on command, and alerts me automatically if the pressure drops. I don't know how effective this will be in avoiding tire problems, because it's possible tread separation can...

Uvalde Day 3 by BB
Day 3. (As usual you can go to the ssa website for scores and official version.) We had a 4 hour yo-yo TAT, first south west to Flying G, then north into the hill country (leakey) then a long leg south to Uno Mas. Scrappy cu at the start, then a big blue hole to cross, and then nice clouds in the...

Jet powered Salto by Bob C[_2_]
The jet powered Super Salto flew for the first time on 1 August. Other than a high EGT reading that turned out to be a software glitch in the panel display, all test flights went very well. The engine and systems performed flawlessly. I haven't analyzed the GPS traces yet, but climb rate exceeds...

Uvalde Day 2 by BB
Well, we're back to something like normal Uvalde weather. Our task was a yo-yo down south with three 20 mile turn areas. There was also a 17mph wind, which broke up the thermals quite a bit. If you could stay connected and work the lines of lift, it could be great, with long glides bouncing from 7...
