What we need in soaring is a new glider built for a reasonable price. $150,000 for a new glider is just not even a consideration for most people. Let's face it, you can get a low mileage Ferrari for half that price! The PW-5 was a terrible failure. The engineers made the wingspan too short,...

Hello everyone, Now that we are done with the Seniors I am looking for volunteers to help me with the SSA booth at Sun-N-Fun April 4th through the 8th. If you volunteer for a morning or afternoon shift you receive a pass for the entire day. This is a great chance to share our great sport with...

I just saw another version, also on NOVA. It was done in 2011 and they actually built the glider and launched it off the roof as originally planned. They flew it via radio control, made it out of the prison and could have done a landing but were getting close to houses. Looked like they had people...

Looking into way to transport big trailer toward East coast. Maybe half way ? Anyone headed east in April? Thanks HW

Considering redoing the cushion in the glider; can't decide on green/blue or blue/pink. Flying in Eastern Washington for most of the season (temperature wise). Any hands-on data points would be appreciated. -MB

Winter isn't quite over yet, so... The excerpt quoted below is from an email I received from my state record keeper (who owns two motor gliders). It is an extract from a communication to state record keepers from Bob Faris (who has been collecting records with his motor glider), US B&R Committee...

Anyone else having trouble accessing Yahoo newsgroups today? Tehachapi, Hollister, ASW27 groups aren't working for me. Perhaps they demand some new third party cookies? Jim

There is still room for a couple more attendees at the Spring 2017 Akaflieg at Arnold CA 17-22 April. The Winter Akaflieg was pretty well attended, so this time we got a larger cabin. At our Akaflieg events you learn that making high-performance sailplanes from high-tech composites is something...

Can anyone help me sort this out? I want to send data out of the CAI302's RS232 to my Dell Streak via Bluetooth. Can a simple serial Bluetooth/RS232 adapter do this such as one of these?: http://www.usconverters.com/serial-bluetooth-adapter If not, other than a K6T unit, what would work? Do I...

It is Spring again, and if you haven't done so in awhile it would be a great time to update the airspace and airport databases in your glide computer, PNA, handheld GPS, or desktop planning software in preparation for the upcoming US season. The FAA data for the charting cycle effective March 30,...

New IMI 2 axis powered solo rigger. The "heavy" guys will love this rigger. Nice job Jan Kantor! https://youtu.be/JoOWbqEzDlU

Hi, I would like to fit LX 9070 into the LS instrument panel, and build the rest around that. This is a picture of LX 9000 in such panel. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByTESd2M3LzEUFM5aHRFS1pVQWs/view?usp=sharing 9070 is 35mm taller, but exactly as wide. It seems it will be tight but doable....

This is an old thread I dug up - just wondering if there have been any improved products keeping one warm in wave that anyone is aware of? On Saturday, January 5, 2002 at 1:00:46 PM UTC-8, DGRTEK wrote: Other than my low tech thermal underwear or longjohns as I call them, can anyone recommend...
