http://www.cleveland.com/news/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/news/1176453114134110.xml&coll=2 There have often been posts here about the oldest active pilot.... I have never considered the youngest..... This man had a very interesting childhood..... If the link fails, Google News on "glider", or...

Hannes at OLC advises that the correct url is now: http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0/gliding/getScoring.html?scoringId=1&today ssa.org has the old link, perhaps one of you knows who to contact to get that fixed. It will prevent a lot of bug reports. I guess each year we need to double check our...

(you can now download the contest turnpoint files at the World Turnpoint Exchange website). You can see some of these flights on the...

I like many others understand that the glider community is small, and perhaps getting smaller. In trying to sell my glider, I placed an ad on Tim Mara's Wings and Wheels. He states on his website that he offers this for free to help the community. Or so I thought. Selling a glider is a difficult...

I have a fairly early copy of this book. Copyrights 1975 and 1978 with the second printing in 1981. Does anyone know if Reichmann ever updated it or if anyone else did after his death. I was going to reread it this winter but was curious if it had been brought into the GPS/flight computer era...

Hi pilots, I know this subject has been discussed in the past but I am not sure if this particular issue has come up. I run a CAI 302 which drives both Winpilot Pro and a 303 head. The wind speed and directions are often differing by large margins on these two displays even though they must be...

As a power pilot who lives fairly far from a tow and would rather fly than trailer, I'm pretty much sold on getting a MG. I've looked at LSAs and don't like them, nor the restrictions they come with. I have already received lots of info from MG doubters and haters, so i don't need to hear that...

I'm cleaning out the garage and it's time to let my Soaring magazine collection go. It's complete from 1960 with a few issues from 1959. They are all in good condition with some of the early years in binders. I already offered them to the SW Soaring Museum, but they have way too many now. The...

I just received word a couple of days ago that Hod Taylor passed on August 19, one day shy of his 97th birthday. Hod was a fixture around the old Black Forest Glider Port for many years until it closed, then became a permanent resident of the operations at Minden. I would like to gather some...

It looks like I'll finish this batch a bit ahead of schedule. If I can finish making and adding the shank fittings this weekend I will start mailing them out Monday 28 November. It also looks like I might have one left over--when I make parts like this I always kit out one or two extra assemblies...
