Soaring not compatible with modern society? by [email protected]
I'm wondering how much the modern reluctance to land out and desire for collision avoidance technology is driven by an underlying fear that if society knew about soaring, society would ban it. Granted no one wants to die or have anyone else die but we've been recreational flying for 100 years and...

Human factors RECKLESSNESS by private
My apologies to the Usenet police cross posting but I am in mourning for friends lost, and in sympathy for the families they left alone. This week we have seen behavior that can only be described as reckless.

Ventus 2cx brake by BravoCharlie
Hi Pilots, I have a V2cxT that has the standard S-H disc brake that no longer works very well. I have been through the obvious fixes; pads, new fluid, bleed, etc. and haven't been able to bring it back up to original performance which was adequate but not stellar. I know a number of pilots have...

Which Way is That Thermal? by ContestID67
I was sent a link to a gadget some college engineers-in-the-making built. http://engenius.sece.rmit.edu.au/Abstracts/Page601.htm. It tries to detect which way a thermal is based on temperature differences between wing tips. Bright boys. I have two questions; 1) Have there been other gadgets...

Club Glider Hangar? by noel.wade
Hi All, I'm doing some research for my local club, and one of the things I'd like to determine is how to increase the usage of our "glass" ships (Astir, Apis, and L-33 - yes I know the L-33 is metal). All are kept stored in trailers. These 3 ships (all in great condition) sit in their trailers,...
