Well, after years of being an armchair pilot in Condor, I've finally booked my first-ever soaring lesson for this weekend. If anyone has any general tips they'd like to pass along, I'll gladly listen! I'm sure the first flight will be very memorable. -Nick

Does anyone know why Google is reposting stuff from 14 years ago?? Note the date on the first post in this thread. This has happened several times lately. Do they think this group doesn't have enough traffic so they pump it up with old posts? What ever the reason, it is weird.

When someone decides not to fly at a time they've scheduled, the glider often goes unused because no one knows the spot opened up.

Hi all, I've been checking recently different online shops to see what tail fin mounted TE probe I can get. All manufacturers have probes in more less two different lengths, 80-90 cm and 55 cm. And now I'm wondering if it's worth spending around 30 Euro more to get the longer one, ...

Hi ladies and gents, Here is a video made by Sebastian Kawa on ECG 2013 at Ostrów in Poland. This video presents final glide of his Discus 2a wing to wing with Arcus flying at 200km/h. As you can see at this speed performance of 20m span glider is no better than 15m Discus 2a. :)...
