Can anyone point me to where I might find a report of findings for a recent (so I'm told) study into the effectiveness of anti-collision/High Visibility markings on Gliders? I believe the study is UK or European, but any info would be appreciated. Regards to all, Fly Safe Craig

Casey, The AOPA is a mixed blessing for glider pilots. It is by far the best aviation advocacy group (perhaps in the world), and they appear to provide beneficial services to individual members. But they advocate selectively. And glider pilots are so far down the list, it would be easier to...

His funeral was held today in the adopted town he so dearly loved, in the First Presbyterian Church of Marfa. All who knew him will know what an empty space his leaving has left in his family, in the Davis Mountain area, and in the aviation and soaring community of West Texas. Enlisting in the...

I'd like to buy a set of plans for a Duster BJ-1b. These need not be original and can be a copy as they will not be used to build a glider, only for documentation for an existing Duster that came with no plans. ========================= Leon McAtee Leon@Alluretech dot net N 7852R Original...

Hi all, If you didn't already know, TerraServer (terraserver-usa.com) has recently made available some 2002 very-high-resolution (as high as 0.25m/pixel!) color aerial photography for 36 urban areas in the U.S. The reason I'm bothering to announce this is that GPS Visualizer...

I've seen it three times this year. There's a problem with the old, faithful 1530. In the process, you take the battery out, then put it back in. Maybe you're replacing the battery (at great cost). Or maybe just resetting the device to start over again. Now it doesn't work. Or doesn't work...
