Is anyone aware of issues with the old AusRasp website: http://glidingforecast.on.net/RASP/RASPtable.html Andres

Does anyone have experience with best technique to clean mold off wing covers? thanks, KD

Does anyone have nose trim weights for their LS-3 up to LS-10 glider that they do not use and would sell to me? They are 2.45 kg = 5.4 lbs each. I need TWO more trim weights for the nose of my LS-8 that I can add when I fly and remove when my husband flies. Thanks. --Cathy

I'm excited to announce a new soaring app I've developed called GliderLink. The app shows your location and the location of nearby gliders on a moving map. You can see the other gliders' callsign, relative altitude, heading, and vertical speed. That's about it right now; it's very simple. The value...

Hi All From lovely Ephrata Wa Yesterday was a very good task call. There were forecast to be Cu up to the north of us and then later in the day a convergence was forecast to set up North/ south north of Ephrata. This all happened. On my run north to Nils Corner I never got high and go to check out...

Well worth the 8 minutes to watch and consider. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMT-MhYd7Z4&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR3K1gYFQt54aEft604HNVrML3QgI5mVrpitQ5NowlUIrWMiQ9bbZ1H_MPY

The canopy of my PW-5 glider was damaged rather severely. I'm looking for a replacement (unlikely, I know) or for someone who can rebuild it from the frame. Any ideas?

I am 13 years old and I want to learn to fly a glider. The one problem is that the nearest gliding school near me is 1 hr and 40 minutes away and this is way too far. I was wondering if there was a way around this. I have looked for different places but they are all too far. FYI I live in eastern...

Last year I bought a new Softie parachute for my ASH 31. Not researching things through properly, I briefly read the Softie website (ok, I’m a dipstick for not drilling down in the "not so" fine print) and ordered the 240 MINI Softie model. Being a guy that is moderately “prosperous�, but can...

I’m afraid video may be making pilots take these risks. https://youtu.be/PlXeHeR5Ma8

Now that we finally have a PowerFLARM in our club 2-seater, I am wondering where to post the IGC files so the students can later examine their flights, and possibly make badge claims.

Evening folks, Does anyone know where I can obtain a five way tubing quick connector in the UK? Cheers Rob

Looking to add solar charging to my trailer by using flexible solar panels. Would rather not drill through the Aluminum top. Any experience with adhesives to use ? Dan

We are looking to put a 1-26 on a lift or hoist. Its a steel building with a very beefy structure. This is commonly done in Europe. Has anybody experience and sketches/pictures/BOM for such a construction and is willing to share? Thanks.

Yesterday I updated my PF portable from version 6.60 to 6.67 and went out for a short flight.Â* I found that Flarm targets were no longer displayed on my ClearNav II display.Â* It still displayed ADS-B and PCAS targets but no Flarm targets.Â* The PF portable still showed Flarm targets.Â* Any...

Hello, I recently installed a PowerFLARM in my ship. I have the Flarm box connected to an SN10B and my Oudie 2 reviving Data from the SN10B. I have not had any issues with the Flarm and ADS-B targets being displayed (with their Hexadecimal code) on either the SN10B or the Oudie, but have not yet...
