I'd love to hear his story of survival on a wet and cold mountain side. What did he have with him to survive with? Any sort of kits? What were the contents?

I'm in the process of researching ELT's for my Discus 2. Problem is with all that carbon fiber, I don't know were to install the antenna. Any suggestions? Zulu P.S. Wags with alternate suggestions as to where to stick the antenna, please remember this is a family site.

Any progress on finding a place to hold the next World Sailplane Grand Prix? -Pat

Is there a softcopy someone can send me? ... or any helpful reference? The running lights on my 2002 Cobra work properly but I get strange results with the turn signals, testing with three different tow vehicles. Are there any caveats I should be aware of in using 6-way-round to 4- way-flat and...

Where can you find what contest ID's are taken, who they 'belong' to, etc.? Thanks, Jim

I just received a letter from AIG stating that rates are going up. (I have "non-owned" coverage for rental ships and for liability.) Then my renewal letter from Costello states that my new AIG policy "will not be a part of the Soaring Society of America Group Insurance Program." And the rate...

I hope someone from "down under" can help me. My source for terry cloth bucket type hats in the USA had dried up. These were made in Australia under the name of TOWELL'N HAT" and sold by "Superior Sportswear PTY, Ltd. These make great soaring hats as the brim is just the right size and on hot...

RAS fans may be interested in the results of an investigation by an instructor/examiner in our club. The question is, do the PTS really require a slip all the way to landing without ever touching the spoilers? (Why? We fly from a short runway, surrounded by houses and trees, and we have modern,...

Hi guys, I am thinking of crossing the pond later this year and was hoping to do some gliding while over there. I am looking for a club or clubs near the following places. Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Bryan Texas. Dublin Georgia. When I flew in Tehachapi some years ago I managed to

Nyal Williams worte: 'Al Parker and Ben Greene set a world distance record from either Marfa or Odessa to Kansas (I believe Salina). If memory is correct, Ben was still flying his SH-K.' I think Ben's flight was from Odessa to Great Bend, Kansas. And it was in an Austria S, not the later SHK. I...
