The good news: As has already been reported, is the new SPOT 2 devices have a nice 'check-in while tracking' feature that lets you send an OK message while in TRACK mode. The OK message temporarily interrupts the TRACK message mode, sends the message, and goes back to tracking. The new SPOTs...

Sad news, I just learned from avweb.com that glider pilot and ME 163 rocket test pilot Rudy Opitz has died. He was a remarkable man. He also flew a Horton flying wing glider to victory in a U.S. soaring contest many years ago. I had the pleasure of meeting him after a talk he gave at an SSA...

John Lubon (JL) was telling me that there was a glider that crashed on the main ridge near Altoona. II heard that the pilot was carrying a SPOT device, and may have activated the 911 function. Anyone have any additional information on this? TIA, TA

The Fault Line Flyers glider club would like to invite you to sign up for the contest that will be...

Just went to post a flight on OLC and I am too late only two days after the flight. When did the rules change from three days to Tuesday at midnight? If you fly on Monday or Tuesday you must submit by midnight on Tuesday or not get scored, Very unreasonable change to the system. TT

We have a request from a family member to scatter ashes from a recently deceased member. I know this type of operation can be problematic if not performed correctly. Any ideas about using the back window of a SGS 2-33???

recently I've had two files rejected by the olc. SeeYou shows and scores it correctly, but the OLC shows, scores, and rejects the drive home. Can't understand why SeeYou shows it si easily but OLC can't find it. Help? Brian

I know there has been several threads on making new glider placards to replace old, hard to read ones. However, I think I have just found something new that might be the best idea yet. See: http://www.horizonsisg.com/alumajet/alumajet-inkjet-printable-aluminum.html These days, "archival quality,...

Friend of mine just bought John Seymour's Ventus 2 and it had a canopy seal that was fixed to the edge of the canopy behind the pilot's head...It operated like a mylar seal and that's probably the best way to describe it... but it wasn't mylar. Is anyone familiar with this set up? Anyone know where...

Hi folks. I'am from Turkey. I interested about sport aviation for 3-4 years, still interesting.Especially soaring. But in Turkey there is only ONE aviation club about soaring.
