I saw the article published a few days ago from a researcher doing a video piece. I read some of you responses which were interesting. Now, wait for it.... I'm also a researcher, but not interested solely in soaring. I'm interested in what thrills people about the things they do. My research is...

Can anyone help me locate gliding related DVD's? Cheers, Ron Baker.

I placed an order by e-mail with S-H for new gas struts for my Nimbus 2C on October 2nd and received them today less than two weeks later. In 45 years of flying and owning aircraft, this was about as painless a procedure to obtain new parts for an old, out of production aircraft that I...
