Link doesn't work...can u be more specific? What glider was this purchased for exactly. Why are you selling? Is this truly brand new? If not how old is it?

We are in dire need of a PDF or scanned version of the IAR IS-28B2 Twin Lark manuals since our manuals have disappeared. Does anyone out there could provide me with an English version or has an idea where I could find it? Thanks a lot for your help in advance, Markus Graeber Aeroclub de Colombia

Tony -- Congratulations on a great flight. Your adventures in the Cherokee are one of the best parts of Rec. Aviation Soaring

Do many retired pilots maintain their membership to charitably support the sport, keep in touch with something they used to participate in, and keep the magazine coming every month? How many SSA members are purely armchair pilots?

I might be wrong, but my sense is that now in this soaring season, and considering *only* quantity of gliders "substantially damaged" or worse, few semi-regular, US-based, RAS readers would not agree this U.S. season is - statistical pedantry aside - already distinctly...

What is the significance of a greyed-out entry and a red V for an OLC flight ? Ian

Tom, Friday 07/06 looks like trigger should occur early like you estimated...around 10am on ridges (BUFR sounding for China Lake shows 7500agl by 10am). Dry airmass promoting Few to isolated cu cloud bases 16,500 back in Sierras and 18-19K msl N and E Owens Valley. There may be some shallow high...

Hello. As part of the investigation into the recent fatal crash of Greater Houston Soaring Association's IS28-B2 "Lark" glider, the NTSB has asked for our help in putting them in touch with operators of this type. They would like to verify our weight and balance data by collecting weight ...

I just did my 5 hour glide for silver/gold duration. My Colibri II's IGC file, as reported in SeeYou PC, shows the correct Takeoff time, Begin soaring time, Landing time, Duration, but then claims a Soaring End time 2 hours 42 minutes into the flight which was actually 5 hours 15 minutes total. ...

With the Duck Hawk now having won the 15 meter Nationals and with an outstanding performance in the open class nationals, and now looking to win the 18 meter Nationals you would think that the US Soaring Team would want to fill its ranks with Duck Hawks and show the world that a small US company...

There are a group of HG pilots in Zapata TX for the month of July to break the straight out distance record for HG's. Five went for it today and there are two still flying, 9 pm CDT, that have passed the current record and they will be forced to land by 9:31 to stay legal. They are flying with...

SoaringNV will be holding a Silver Badge Cross-Country Camp from Monday, July 23rd through the 27th. The camp is designed to help the low-time glider pilot gain the skills, knowledge, and judgment required to safely and successfully fly cross-country. Our goal is to have all participants have...

Okay, I'm just being my normal cheap-ass self here. Wings and Wheels has the fill valve I want on page 36 (Aerox PB (Schreder) In-line Fill Valve - for 34 bucks. That seems... um, a bit high. Is it that special? Thanks

So today I encountered a novel situation at the airfield. The diminutive line boy and I were called upon to hoist an over-sized pilot with a "bad knee" out of his glider (after landing.) Enthusiastic to help with all aspects of "ground handling", I jumped right in, and I ended up straining my...

Hi all, I have a strange readout of my flight recorder for last Monday's scratch flight. I'm using an LX 7000 and I am viewing the flight on CU. From about 20:57:40 UTC to 20:59:24 UTC my ship does not appear to be moving. But I do gain in altitude. The expanded track that CU displays also looks...

Remember the crack in the engine mount that failed and brought down the airliner? How about the B-52 that taxied onto the runway, applied full power and the left wing fell off! This all started as a crack near the spar after an air-refuling mishap. Would you fly a wood sailplane with cracks in th...

Rex is looking into making glare-shield antenna mounts for the PowerFLARM dipole antenna, especially for gliders with glare-shields that jettison with the canopy (Schleicher, LS). The mount will featu - mast sticks up above glare-shield - base mounts underneath glare-shield with velcro -...

Hardly used at all. Original packing etc. $125 includes shipping in US.

There are a group of HG pilots in Zapata TX for the month of July to break the straight out distance record. there are two still flying, 9 pm CDT, that are passed the record and will be forced to land by 9:31 to stay legal. They are flying with strobes so they an extra 30 minutes. SPOT tracks...
