I know this has come up in the past, but i'm having trouble finding the previous posts. I recently bought a Carat in a 2005 Cobra trailer and had it hauled from the west coast to here in Georgia on a flat bed. When i started pulling the trailer, the hubs started getting hot within 12 miles, the...

Southern California is currently fractured into several different OLC clubs.. There is a movment by pilots in Tehachapi, Inyokern, Cal City, and Crystal to consolidate all OLC flights in the region into one club. The names "Southern Sierra", "Region 12 Soaring", and "SoCal Soaring" havbe been...

There does not appear to be an email link within the app or on their web page so I'll give this a try... Couple observations on your software... #1 It really needs a way to adjust the playback speed. The default setting will play a 7 hour flight in just 30 seconds which is way too fast. #2 ...

Hi, Today I shot another time-lapse video of the sailplane launches on Day 5 at the WGC in Uvalde. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwpBBoHWFr0 Good Soaring, Paul Remde

As of 12:15 EDT Power is out in 1/2 of Uvalde- the half that we care about. No water also. Obviously internet routers will be down also AAAAARRGGGGHHHH!!!!! UH

Hi, Photos from day 4 of the WGC in Uvalde, TX are available he http://www.flickr.com/photos/remde/sets/72157630984490418/ Good Soaring, Paul Remde

The old girl (38 years) finally could not face muster. So, considering that I fly in the high desert, a ram air chute seemed in order for its better controllability, higher forward speed, and good landing characteristics. I took a training jump today and I am hooked! Now I just need to find...

I declared a task on my LX5000 and after I downloaded the flight to my SeeYou program, I get File integrity: Unknown? and Declaration is NOT VALID! I am not getting any Security Seal warning messages. The declared task is displayed on SeeYou and when you go to OLC, it shows that my IGC file is...

You can find some news if you look hard enough. Does the SSA not financially support the US Team at all? Regardless, I would think the SSA would take a more proactive role in helping to showcasing the WGC, the Olympics of...

The open class at Uvalde is the most interesting in the modern glass era, post 1966. There are 5 new designs racing, the oldest being the EB29 which first flew in 2009. The others are all new this year- Concordia, Quintus, Antares 23, and JS1C. All five are in the top seven places after 7 days....

The German Team blog is probably the most informative and regularly updated. There's not much point in looking at the official website.

Hello! I am relatively new to this group and I come seeking some advice with a peculiar problem (I'd like to thank you for taking the time to read this before-hand, as it is a bit of a tough nut!): I'm a masters student doing work on Andean Condors in Argentina (mainly in San Carlos de...

It looks as if there may have been as many as 18 land outs today. Thunderstorms near the finish cylinder.

Got this note from Andrew Dignan, part of the Uvalde WGC support team Frank, Could you post this link to rec.aviation that we are broadcasting the launches live? http://www.ustream.tv/channel/world-gliding-championships Thanks, Andrew

I took my first glider flight a couple of months ago at Low Country Soaring in Ridgeland, SC. (Cool group of guys there!) The flight was really cool.. As much as I wanted to, I couldn't really justify making the investment in a membership because I'll be moving in about a month. I'm headed up...

Hi, I found a very nice spot to take photos of the gliders on final approach to landing on Day 5 (Thursday) of the World Gliding Championships in Uvalde, Texas. Thank you to photographer Yasuhiro YAMA for his recommendation of this photo location. The complete set of photos is...
