We know flight computers are taking into account the polar, MC setting and the current sink/lift to determine the speed to fly, but AFAIK they don't (or at least my 302 doesn't) take into account the head/ tail wind component. As such, they will often command too slow speed when flying in headwind,...

Hej, My club is looking for a free, or very low cost, booking system. Does anyone have any suggestions ? Up until now we used a free service that suddenly without warning turned non-free :-(. Puts us in a bit of an awkward position. We are about 200 users with roughly 15 aircrafts, but the...

Also with photos at http://home.inreach.com/grahdani/flights.html After being damaged in a ground-loop landing the previous summer, my 1965 H301 Libelle glider, N11GV, was flying again in the spring of 2006.

Maybe I don't know, but from more than 60 years of soaring and powered flight, from my own eyeballs, and numerous written reports I have concluded that parachutes will alter behavior. How many injury accidents and fatals have been recorded that have the factor "Parachute worn" or no "parachute...
