In a few more days, the 2006 USA pilot seeding list will be up on the Soaring Server for everyone to see. Those names in green, mean the contests you were in, the paperwork is all in. Those names in red, well, yep, your paperwork is NOT all in, and maybe you can help us get this closed out, by...

Does anyone know when our 17 year old emergency parachute canopy will pass its use-by date? Indeed, is there a definite lifespan, or is it down to the discretion of the packer? The 'chute has always been stored indoors in a dark dry cupboard. Also, has anyone had any experience of having a...

All, I have a new (to me) glider and trailer. Good rig, but like most things, capable of improvement. The ramp that extends from the back of the trailer for assembly has a single, car style scissor (spare tire) jack for raising and lowering the fuselage. It rocks back and forth a bit too much,...

Peter Masak (whatever did happen to the Scimitar?) .. Iain Strachan ... all gone, it seems. It's pretty clear that usenet is dying on its feet, but...
