I loaded my club's three Proving Grounds tasks into my SeeYou Cloud account, but I cannot find those tasks anywhere on my SeeYou Nav app on my iPhone. My flights captured via the app on the phone are uploading automatically to the cloud, so I know there is some connectivity. And, I have an active...

Ron is well into a straight out ridge run in the Appalachians in his trusty 1-26. He departed Blairstown NJ about 9:30 this morning and he's currently on Sleepy Creek Mountain abeam Martinsburg, WV. Original play was to push up to the front ridge and try to make it as far as possible, but...

There are 16 Silent 2 Electros in the FAA Registration Data Base. 3 are for sale and are all low time. Any thoughts? Are they uncomfortable, poor penetration, what?

Is Kabatoff a motor glider guy?

Hi Does anyone have experience with ordering spare parts for SZD gliders? At the moment I am looking for spare parts for our Junior and Puchacz gliders. We have to much play on the aileron connections between the wing and fuselage. We have ordered the parts for a couple of moths ago, but its is...

Hi all, I'm bored. I'm without a sailplane. I'm planning for my retirement, which is still some years away. I hope it will include some OLC, casual competitions, badge, or regional record attempts probably limited to the USA. It could possibly include a homebuilt or refurbished sailplane. As...

Hello fellow first gen Ventus owners. I'm removing and replacing the seals on the lower wing surface of my Ventus b. The previous installation had tape (perhaps teflon) from the wing to the flaps, but no mylar seal. The ailerons currently have both tape and mylar kombi seals. I'm using...

Hello all, My name is Jac and I am new to this group. I am purchasing a glider and I need to tow it to Williams in CA. I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas on how best to go about this? First option yes would of course be to go down myself, rent a pickup or a car with a tow hitch and...

Glider Friends: We haven't exceeded the local capacity for on-line attendance, so I figured I should open the door a little wider. The series will continue another few weeks (until Chris gets tired of being an organizer). This isn't a major presentation, a Chat -- it runs about an hour. This one...

At around 12:54 today, Thomas Johnson (V12 - MiniNumbus) was injured in a takeoff groundloop accident. He was airlifted to an Orlando hospital, where he'll be met by his wife. Emergency medical personnel were pleased with his vital signs and cautiously optimistic about his prospects for...

Yay, it works! All of our complaining did nothing but some competition from a better product did.

I admit I am not at all familiar with this glider and I couldn't really find much about it on the interwebs. I'm also not in the market. Just wondering why a seemingly modern two-seat motor glider would be selling (or not) at such a low price.

Didn't want to hijack the current FES tread so I thought I'd start a new one. This topic came up over dinner a couple of weeks ago. When you add all the following into a pot and stir, whats the "Best" Say for Western Great Basin flying. I think it may be the Carat, but I don't know much about...

Here's an accident I haven't seen mentioned. The teenager is VERY lucky. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-cumbria-56521537

This from February 2021, Volume 14 No. 5 page 40, "International Accident Report Nov-Dec 2000". The third "accident" reported: "Comment: The aircraft experienced a loss of adequate lift and force landed to open field terrain in Hazelton, Pennsylvania. The glider was not damaged and the pilot...
