Many of us remember major events of the summer of 1969: Haight- Ashbury, Manson, Woodstock, Apollo-Moon, Chappaquiddick. But a lot was also going on that summer in a small town in southern Texas... Marfa! To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the 1969 US Soaring Nationals in Marfa TX, I have put...

Please respond to the contact below. Complete glider with trailer sought. Airworthiness not an issue. I would like to find an inexpensive Blanik, preferably a two-place, in good condition. I would also like a trailer. Sincerely, Wesley Cox St. Simons Island, Georgia

Many flights that I have looked at on OLC, posted by various pilots using diverse equipment, displayed with grossly incorrect altitudes. This is using the OLC online display that shows a small map and a small altitude graph. Usually, if incorrect, the displayed altitude in some parts of the...

Looking for a 27B in great shape let me know what you have. Thanks Nick

Hello, I want to install an oxygen bottle in my ASW20. I haven't found any documentation on what size bottle should be installed. I tried a search on this site and there are loads of posts regarding oxygen but I couldn't get them to open. Anyone know why? Anyone have any information on the...

Hi, some of us in our club (Utah Soaring Assn) have started a group to share XC skills by flying together weekly on Condor 2 (and later in the year to fly in real life). I know many do this already informally on several continuing nightly or weekly Condor races. In our group are beginners and...

What will the rules committee will have to say now that we can see ADS-B equiped gliders and their data on PowerFlarm at 20 to 30 NM. Richard

Gliding International posted -ASK 21 is grounded after November 30 Who knows what ?

Is there a procedure to test/verify a TruTrak Pictorial Turn & Bank on the ground/bench? (It's not installed in the panel yet.) I've no reason to suspect that this used unit is broken. I'm able to test the continuity and the stepper motor makes a little warble when it powers up. Setting the...

Hi Guy's, I do not fly full size gliders but an avid R/C flyer/builder currently building the Moswey lll in 1/3 scale size and have a question that you may be able to answer. My question concerns scale fidelity in so far as pictures of the full size in my opinion clearly show the tail flying...

I'm sorry to report that Jim Hard - 1-26 pilot extraordinaire - has taken his final glide. He died peacefully yesterday evening in the hospital surrounded by friends and family. He will be missed by many - both within and outside the Minnesota Soaring Club. Good finish 271! Lou

I just came across this interesting page: https://www.orolia.com/resources/blog/lisa-perdue/2018/gps-2019-week-rollover-what-you-need-know On April 6th of this year the GPS week will roll over and on some older instruments it could mess up the date. How many of our soaring instruments might have...

I took a look at OLC last evening and noticed that the top two scores were from two guys flying the ridge in PA. They were each flying a 1-26, way to go,nice flights guys!

Four years old, worn for less than twenty flights, stored in the house, rigger says it is in excellent condition. Came with the glider, and doesn't really work for me. Aerobatic straps, Navy Blue, Carry/Storage bag. $1,800 OBO

Has anyone found anything not to like about the Inreach Mini? T8

What is the best value noise canceling headset for a motor glider. Since the back seat persons head in only inches from the motor - I want to protect their hearing. WH

Cambridge 302. The gps engine has NOT been replaced, so it does not function as a logger. I also have a LXNAV Nano (the original one without the display). Both devices work great except for the 302 logging function. I'll part with 302 for $350 and the Nano for $300 or both for $600 ground shipping...

A first-generation great has passed. I did not know Mr. Lemke, but from multiple sources whose opinions I respect, every one of them - unsolicited by me - volunteered he was not only a (quietly) superb, multi-talented, sailplane designer, but - far more important in the grand human scheme of...

Looks like a few spammers found RAS overnight......

Hello All, My 1981 Bikle trailer for my Schempp-Hirth Ventus b 16.6 was heavily damaged by a tornado late last year. Luckily the glider was in a hangar. I'm looking for a replacement trailer. I'd like to replace it with a good condition Cobra or Komet. Yes, I know they're hard to find, aren't...
