Our syndicate just bought a DG600 - the unpowered version - with 15, 17 & 18m tips. We know about the lack of wing moulds at DG, and have been around the houses concerning the stall warning device. This is our first flapped glider. Does anyone who owns or flies a DG600 have any helpful advice for...

Over the Christmas holidays I receive my latest issue of "Sailplane & Gliding Magazine" and looked over the soaring clothing that they had for sale. I ended up ordering their "Navy zip up fleece with discreet glider motif". The cost was about $38US. It arrived in about a week (UK = USA). Nice...

My V2C has one of the large wheels with shock absorber and hydraulic disk break (in other words, the heavy combo). My mechanic noted that there is one assist spring, but places for two. We'd like to know if I'm missing one? Advance thanks ~ted/2NO

Is there anyone here in this newsgroup, who plays CondorSoaring ( computergame ) ?

I'm a ground-bound lurker who's been learning a lot from you guys and I would appreciate your help. Many years ago I set out to learn to fly gliders, but only got 1-2 hours time before medical problems sidelined me. I would like some suggestions for good videos or a simulator to get the feel of...

I just uploaded a flight to the OLC-USA for 2005-12-27 with a score of 204.23 points. But then I went over to the OLC Champion and Statistics: All Flights pages, and I only got 77.64 points. I know it's probably not an error; but I would like to know why it did that. Chris

Anyone interested in having a Peschges VP3 system? Main box, two digital readout varios, wiring harness, speaker, original manual. This system was in my Ventus C when I bought it in 1995 and I flew with it until 2001. It always worked fine but has been sitting on a shelf since I replaced it. For...

Does anyone have any info or experience with the Colibri "Black Box" (Colibri without display or buttons)? Cost? USB connector, like newest Colibri? Does it really exist? Kirk

Our intrepid reporter reports: Another interesting day yesterday with the 2 hr. assigned area tasks for all classes. It was planned that the Club class launch first, but then on the grid it was decided that Open class should be launched first. The first take-off was only at 12.45 with their gate...

Can anyone tell me where I can do an "intensive" gliding course in the UK? I'm not quite solo, but since changing jobs I cannot get the time for the "final push" to solo - the majority of my time in the air has been during weekdays, sadly no longer an option. If I can get an intensive week of...
