Slipping in Turns by
Jim Hendrix
I'm wondering if many people hold a mild slip in turns and why they do it.
Please reply to this post if you do this and give your reason(s).
Thanks,

deturbulated std cirrus flies against Diana 1 by
Jim Hendrix
For the latest parallel flight of my deturbulated Standard Cirrus vs. a
modern glider, go to
http://sinhatech.com/SinhaFCSD-Progress-06072008.asp#article .
20 minutes of parallel flying should be enough to make the point.
Download and replay the logs in SeeYou, or what have you.

Sinha FCS Deturbulator update by
Jim Hendrix
Well, here goes. I'll understand, or try to anyway, if my friends, who used
to think of me as a reasonable, level headed kind of guy, turn and run when
they see me coming down the street.
Maybe it really didn't happen. Maybe it was only a dream. Maybe it was a
calculation error or equipment...

Best vario for airmass awareness across the speed range by
Jim Hogue
Any suggestions? Either currently available or coming in the near future (next year or so) would be ok, I am not in a rush. Prefer it would fit in one 57mm hole.
I take care of navigation and tasks with other standalone devices (full on OpenVario with its own vario/STF sensor board, and a Kobo...

Rigging grease recommendations for long-term-rigged gliders by
Jim Hogue
So, I have been using white lithium grease for decades for all my glider fittings. This has worked out fine, no problems ever, all my fittings have stayed nice, with no damage of any kind.
However, now that I have an 18 meter motorglider and am retired and blessed with time to go soar, my rigging...

A winter reading suggestion:
I've just finished "Soaring, Beyond The Basics" by Dale Masters &
enthusiastically recommend it. It's all about developing airmanship,
sensitivity to the terrain & interpreting clues to lift. Dale's dry humor &
clear writing style make this book an enjoyable page turner...

Laister LP-49 for low time pilot by
Jim Hultman
There are few RAS comments on the Laister LP-49. In photos an ungainly
design, but does appear a reasonable transition ship for a low-timer; 31/1
LD, retractable gear, flaps, auto hookups, aluminum wing. How large is the
cockpit? Anyone here with LP-49 flying & rigging experience?

Glass, or Aluminum? by
Jim Kellett
The Battle is On!!
Yes, the perennial argument about the so-called "best glider" is about to be
resolved, once and for all!! Is it equipment, or skill? Is it nature, or
nurture? Is it the pilot, or is it the machine? Is is glass, or is it
aluminum/fabric? WATCH THIS SPACE!
