Metric Soaring by Paul Hanson
Clearly metric is a superior system for most expressions of measurement, but it seems surprisingly inefficient for flying (especially soaring) in it's current form, which brings me to my question(s). Why do metric variometers read in m/s, instead of kph when the metric airspeed is in kph? Would it...

Helmets by Tim Taylor
I will move this out of the "Stay in, or get out?" thread for clarity. I have long thought about helmets for several reasons. I will state up front that I have not had access to the accident reports/pictures and autopsy reports of several of the accidents that I have seen over the last 25 years,...

BRS for emergencies by Bryan[_4_]

Yaw-Free TEK Probes by Paul Hanson

1965 World Championship by Steve Leonard
