We are considering a couple of flags for the entrance to our club, and for one we would like an FAI flag. I wrote the FAI, and they replied that they were no longer available from their shop. So now we are looking for either an alternate supplier, or for a good logo file. Any help with locating...

What's a full membership in the SSA cost? I went on the SSA site and they won't tell you untill you have filled out all the forms. Is it so high that they are afraid to scare people off? John

I have been asked by the contest management here at Logan to stop posting my reports on the official SSA site, so henceforth these reports will be available only on SoaringCafe.com. Apparently I was using the ‘U’ (Unlandable) word a little too often for their taste. I freely admit that a lot of...

I recently bought an Icom A6 transceiver for use as a crew radio, and have discovered several issues with it. Perhaps someone can make suggestions for improving the situation: Shocks My wife was driving the motorhome while I was flying. After about an hour that included a few transmissions and...

I got a kick out of this one. http://blogs.palmbeachpost.com/travelsmart/2011/08/10/the-herrick- chronicles-birds-and-fighter-jets/

When looking at the “Flight Details” page for specific flight, there’s a graph in the bottom left that shows the altitude trace. Many of the graphs just have a blue line (showing altitude) with a green shaded area at the bottom (showing ground level). But others (I’ve seen this for multiple...

An advertisement in QST magazine caught my eye and I wonder if some one has used something similar to this in gliders(we don't need 25 Amps at 12 Volts): http://www.mfjenterprises.com/Product.php?productid=MFJ-4416B The idea is to keep the voltage supplied to your electrics constant even if the...

Is there a place to find the cumulative results for this contest? I can find the individual day results on the SSA webpage, but no cumulative results.

This story about George Moffat at the nationals in his Austria SH-1 is from Sports Illustrated, August 1, 1966. http://home.comcast.net/~johan.larson/soaring/the-long-ride-home.html Thanks to David Stevenson for letting me use his copy of the magazine. The magazine also contains a photo-essay...

Hello, I am currently finishing up my 7th combat tour and will be returning home in a couple of weeks to Las Vegas. It has been awhile since I have been able to do something for myself, and I want to "reward" myself with a beginner glider. I have been searching everything on the net as far as...

Okay, let's hear your views on what proper etiquette might be in a thermal. We all know the first man in decides the direction of the turn and we should all thermal at the same speed. The Glider Pilot Handbook seems somewhat unconcerned with the rules and etiquette and the internet information...

I find it odd that there's no posts regarding the first-time use of PowerFlarm in a US contest. Surely they're all flying with them.

On or around August 1.
