I am making some experimental soaring forecasts for Great Britain and realized that I don't know the units being used there as don't know how far metrification has gone. Are airplane altitudes reported in feet? Are wind speeds in knots? Are temperatures in Fahrenheit? Jack

I am interested in getting back into soaring, its been 24 years since I soloed at age 16. My job constraints keep me busy and my days off are usually during the week. It seems most club flying is on the weekend which means taking off work, if I can get it, to go soar. I'm looking into taking a two...

This is primarily aimed at US pilots, but certainly applies to us all... The latest issue od Soaring magazine has a well written editorial by Dennis Wright about our responsibilities of avoiding airspace that requires permission to enter. On page 13 there's an article if interest to any of us...

A friend recently told me that his Cobra trailer had been broken into while parked for several months at an Arizona glider port. The thief, used a key to open and then relock the trailer (no surprise here, my Cobra trailer key fits his trailer too - - I'm innocent in this case though). The only...

I'm accessing temporarily through google groups. Is anyone else having trouble getting glidernet? I got a message refusing access for a couple of days and now I get nothing.

Just tanked up at Hilton Head SC. They charged me $3.85 per gallon of 100LL, and then added on a 5% "fuel tax". Works out to $4.04 per gallon. Ouch, a new high. Now that I am back home, I am going to top off with mogas... $2.10 seems cheap now.

Hi All My ship has a multi probe. When the ship is sitting on its tailwheel the the probe is level with the ground. And the T.E. part of the probe is straight up and down. When the ship is flying in a somewhat level flight attitude the probe must be pointing down in respect to flight attitude. And...
