Youth Members in your (US) Club by
Ulrich Neumann
Hi all,
I need your input on an issue that has led to an ongoing, heated
debate ever since my son joined our soaring club at age 14. He begun

another club this summer. A small but vocal group of members are
stricktly against youth-...

Incredible Lifting Experience by
Jim Vincent
In this video, the guy is kiteboarding on the water. Normally when jumping,
the max is about 50'. He gets caught in a thermal and ends up a few hundred
feet up. Quite remarkable that he survived.

Nimbus 21C instrument panel by
Bill Daniels
I'm planning the installation of a new Borgelt B50 to replace an old Pirol
vario. The Pirol used three 61mm holes so the 57mm B50 units won't fit nor
will the G meter I'd planned to add. Arghhhh!
So, new panel time. Anybody got a new or used panel laying around?
If not, my choices seem to...

Steve Hill
I thought in the UK they took all your guns away to make things safer for
....everyone....( it certainly makes it safer for criminals breaking and
entering, knowing they don't have to worry about lead poisoning...like
they'd get at Steve's house...)

Wanted: 1550 Aero main battery (old tired one OK) by
Chris Ashburn
Hi Folks,
I wondered if anyone in the US has a LiIon battery from an old
dead 1550 lying around they'd like to get rid of for some $'s
It's not my main PDA now, but the 1550 refuses to charge now and
I'm trying to debug if it's the charging circuit in the PDA or
the battery.
A new one from HP...

I'll be staying in Chicago from Nov 5th to 8th (including the week-end).
Is there any chance of soarable weather or would it be the same as
northern Europe ?
If yes, could anyone recommend a place where I could take a ride in a

I'm all for free speech, but why oh why do these people think that they
can post this type of drivle to a soaring new group!

Japan Soaring Club? by
Tim Maw
Has anyone been to the Japan Soaring Club at Itakura
Gliderport near Tokyo lately?
I'm off to Japan for a week's holiday next week and
was thinking of going along one day.
It'll probably be just for a jolly; a new location
for the log book etc. I'm not there for a gliding
holiday per se, and...

Lawyers Flying Gliders by
Matt Herron
This is a bit wierd, but a friend and I can think of no lawyers who
fly gliders. We can think of plenty of doctors and gobs of engineers,
but no members of that darker profession. Is it just us, or is there
something about soaring that excludes lawyers? Aversion to risk??

Mike Fadden
We have a lawyer in our club and, fortunately for the club, he does
some lawyer stuff for free. I have met many very interesting people
since I got involved with soaring, most with technical background of
some sort but certainly not all by a long shot. What I haven't met are

The NOAA web site used to have a "Soaring and winds aloft" page for various

New iPAQ 4700 by

Hi,
I received my iPAQ 4705 this week. Like the Toshiba e800 the screen is a
little larger than most Pocket PCs and it is about the same brightness as
most current Pocket PCs. It looks about the same (maybe slightly brighter)
as my iPAQ 3970 in sunlight. The high resolution screen is not an...
