Just a quick email, i have been forgetting to keep the soaring list updated on our activities recently. We have sent two new newsletters regarding the Pipistrel range of aircraft recently. Newsletter 24 is the flight for sight, an annual event flying around QLD which this year raised over...

http://www.glidingmagazine.com/FeatureArticle.asp?id=400 The current issue of Soaring had an interesting article by Chris Woods about this topic. When attempting to describe soaring I use the analogy of comparing sailboats to motorboats, not sure how accurate this is but it seems to occasionaly...

SeeYou automatically updated today on my computer. I tried to upload today's flight. I am presented with a new screen that makes me choose the takeoff location from a dropdown list. My airfield is not on the list. Stuck. Help.

BLAST is a program that I wrote to convert Dr. Jack's Blipmap data into OpenAir format files, so you can see the forecast in 2D or 3D in SeeYou. Just as an FYI, I have just posted Patch version 40 of BLAST. The new version now supports ETA Blipmap data as well as the RUC Blipmap data. So now you...

Just curious as to how it's done elsewhere. I fly at a commercial operation and the priority for launch always goes to the school gliders....this makes sense...the student has scheduled for a specific time days in advance.... Next come the renal ships and glider rides and they too have been...

Like many clubs mine blows hot and cold on using launchpoint logging software. At present we have a legacy system handling flight recording from paper records taken at the launch point with a link to our accounting system which was written by a club member who left some time ago and the system...

Is anyone using Launchpoint 2000 logbook successfully with Vista? I've been using it for years on my XP computer but it will not work on my new Vista notebook. It keeps complaining about COMDLG32.OCX. Unfortunately the software is no longer supported. Otherwise, any recomendation for a good logbook...

Hi, I was using this for my logbook. It comes from the UK. I just changed laptops and I kept the dat file but need a registration key. The website www.launchpoint2000.com or similar seems to be down and they dont seem to advertise in Sailplane and Gliding anymore. Any thoughts? /daveb

I guess we are all pretty much in agrement that the law of primacy makes it just about impossible for anyone who learned glider flying with 0 altimeter to ever be able to fly with MSL altimeter, because under pressure, he will revert back, and death, distruction, disaster, etc will ensue. With the...

I've heard that things are getting a tad damp around the home of Wabash Valley Glider Club at Lawrenceville Illinois. I'm hoping the hangers full of airworthy vintage sailplanes aren't flooding. News anyone? Matt Michael

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??

Anyone care to look in their manual an share? Have e-mailed dealer and factory. Just covering my bases. Kind of in a hurry. Trying to get the the toys back to the boys. Silly season is upon us! Be careful! Thanks, mark.

OK wizards....got a " Security Fail" for the first time today. All other indications A-OK. I tried downloading the flight again, still no luck. I went back and downloaded an older flight and got a "Security OK" note. Looking for ideas as I try to locate my manual. Thanks R

Spotted this unintentional(?) plug for gliding on the main RV homebuilt site: http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=45291 The poster is the Lead Flight Director, Space Shuttle Operations. Doubt that many RV builders will suddenly be tearing the engines out of their RVs (such...
