US club class definition by
[email protected]
So where is the official definition of Club class on the SSA site?
I downloaded the Handicap Excel file, and sorted it by any that had a "C" attribute in the notes. It appears to include LS-6 .898 to Austria SH-1 1.115 but probably in error it shows something i never heard of as Freedom Falcon...

Hi;
We spend a lot of time discussing electronic collision avoidance
devices, and advice to keep a good lookout. To help the situation we

Birds in the hangar by
Ben Coleman
Our club is discussing what we can do to deter birds from perching in our hangar and messing up our aircraft. Can anyone recommend a technique? Are there any methods which have not worked?
The birds are small, probably swallows.
Thanks Ben

Cobra Trailer Fenders by
Patrick McMahon
Hey all, I trailered a (new to me and a partner) glider from Ontario to Alberta last week and through the trip blew out both trailer tires on the late-80's aluminum Cobra trailer and destroyed the fenders on the trailer through the event.
The first blowout (1:15am east of Madison, Wisconsin)...

Transponders by
Mil80C
A question to you fine soaring fraternity, what would your response be to
someone who suggested that it might be feasable to run a transponder in a
glider with a pedal generator?

Puchacz reviews by
cuflyer
Hello All,
I am looking for real world reviews of the Puchacz (or the newer Perkoz)
in the club / instructional environment.
How do they hold up to daily use/abuse?
Maintenance issues?
How are they for ab-initio?
Truth to the spin-eager rep?
Any bad habits?

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...

Ventus rigging advice, please? by
John McLaughlin
I've recently started flying a Ventus2. I can't rig the thing without a lot
of
struggle. The trouble is, there's a cover above the spars and you can't see
anything once the first wing is in.
I struggle to get the second wing to fit, never knowing whether it's a bit
too
high or a bit too low....

Which Way is That Thermal? by

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;

BRAKE FLUID by

The maintenance manual for my ASW 20C glider says to be sure to only
