This is 'keychain cam" video, straight from the camera. In addition to the annoying time stamp, the aspect ratio is wrong. For some unfathomable reason, the camera shoots 640 x 480, 4:3 aspect ratio and resamples to 720 x 480 which results in the squashed perspective (can be fixed in editing, of...

Several pilots climbed in wave today in Saratoga Springs, New York. It is strange to have wave in August. This is the 1st time in 20 years that I can remember having wave in August. It felt like autumn today. Mike McCarron, MC, climbed to 18,000 ft and was hoping that through Albany's Control...

Phil is trying to arrange a wave weekend for next weekend, then again in March, if interested in next weekend act now. Okay: You can't tell anything for certain this far out, but weather looks favorable for the formation of wave. Phil has received three checks. O2 has been arranged. We have a...

I am looking for a files (airspace files) with published wave windows on the west coast in GN II format. I would like somehow to create a file which I can use in addition to my nav points. What I would like to see on my iPAQ is a wave windows with its boundary lines and maybe some shade of some...

We are starting to get some very good wave flights in SE Oklahoma and would like to start the process of getting a wave window. I would like to know what is required to get a wave window to access the Class A airspace? We would be in Ft Worth airspace. Any a assistance would be very much...

The control of wave windows is apparently moving from ARTCC to the local FISDO. How many of you have letters of agreements for WAVE Windows in the USA.

I went to 25,000ft today in my 2-32 for a new Oregon State multi- place record.

Heard through the grape-vine that there was an accident during this NC wave-camp. Got it confirmed by this...

See these amazing wave-type clouds complete with interference patterns downstream of pointed mountains, not ridges! http://www.space.com/imageoftheday/image_of_day_040130.html Herbert, J7

The Dutch pilots visiting Vågå Wavecamp in 2003 made a very nice video from their stay. The video is now available on http://www2.wavecamp.no/gallery/ (380 MB, mpeg2 format, 12 mins duration.) Merry Christmas to you all! Anders B.

Hey, Does anybody know of place in the NE where good waveflights are close to frequently possible? Also if that club allows renting of a glider? Thanks! -Nik

I know this has been discussed before, would like to know what wax to use on a sailplane finished in acrylic paint. Would prefer to use one that does not require a buffer. One Idaho

I'm new to this sport and have a few questions about waxing my ship. Some say NEVER wax because if you ever get wet, you will come down like a STONE. Others say you MUST wax to ward off the TERRIBLE affects of moisture and UV. I'm confused, can anyone help? One more thing, what kind of wax is BEST...

Anyone out there that can lend a hand with the non-delivery of the video? Anyone out there actually received the promised video and/or book? I sent a credit card payment in good faith well over a year ago, and haven't received a thing. Some contact with Carol Clifford and her attempts to...

We did some communal glider waxing over the week end using Mothers 3 step method. The room temperature was 15-20C maybe a bit on the humid side, we found that wherever we applied a thicker dab of wax a stain remained after the wax off process. Was this a reaction between the wax and gelcoat? Old...

Getting ready for the winter plane projects. The question comes up every year...what to smear over the gel coat. Is there any credible comparison of wax vs PTFE vs Wx? I don't want to hear about avoiding silicones because that seems to be a non-issue since refinishers don't have much of a problem...

Since winter is nearly ending and I'm doing final adjustments to my glider, I was wondering. Is it interesting to wax and polish it? I've seen a set of products he https://www.theaerodyne.com/gb/care-cleaning/188-basic-kit-for-glider-care.html D-1339
