Hilton
Hi,

It sure looks like a ton of fun - anyone written up their training on a per
flight...

Soaring on Mars by
puffnfresh
Given the lesser density of air on Mars what would be the glide ratio of
a PW-5 starting at an altitude of say 5000 feet? (lesser gravity, too)
Is it worth book a trip in next few years?

important in centering thermals. If the airspeed and / or...

De-humidifier by
Joe Lacour
It has been raining so much that I am getting a bit of mold on my
LS-4A. What are some comments about using a de-humidifier inside the
Komet trailer? How big of one to get? Put it on a timer? Fire safety?
