damage
to its original wings.
Any advice or contacts would be gratefully...

Lessons from Another Sport about the Elite by
Morgan[_2_]
Solid observation. I recently got an email from a club member about our upcoming contest asking about ways to let people fly during the contest that didn't want to compete. What struck me most was the use of terms like "top guns" or "elite" in reference less experienced pilots not wanting to get...

What device to use with the InReach? by
Eric Greenwell[_4_]
Now that I have an InReach, I'd like to have a device to communicate
with it for text messages. My phone is dumb and won't do it, so I'm
considering an iPod Touch or similar device that would also let me have
a sectional maps and airports app, run a soaring app (like XCSoar) to
back up my panel...

Wanted: K6 Mux output log with GPS, LX, and FLARM data by

Lessons from Another Sport about the Elite by
[email protected]
I came to soaring through a club that had no cross-country culture. There was one instructor with a Silver Badge and to me he was a god. I'd been flying for years before ever meeting a competition pilot much less flying with one. Due to increased communication via the web the days of isolated...

Gliding Research Assistance by
Kevin Christner
Hello RAS,
Several years ago I wrote my Senior Honors Thesis in History on "Soaring's Golden Age: 1965-1975." I recently got a copy of my paper back from my college, having lost it somewhere in 8 moves over 7 years. I had always wanted to pick the paper back up, as in college I did not have the...

Wingrunner Checklist by
Jamie Shore
My club is considering implementing a wing runner checklist. The wing runner would perform this mental checklist at some point before they give the Begin Takeoff signal.

Hi,
Today DeLorme announced the new inReach SE (screen edition). It uses the
same data plans as the inReach for Smartphones and offers the same tracking
and messaging functionality. But whereas the inReach for Smartphones must
be paired with a smartphone to send "free-form" text messages, the...

Last week I got a notice from Noelle at Williams Soaring that she had an RMA# for my portable units. She sent me a prepaid label and all I had to do was bubble wrap the units, put them in a box and give them to the post office.
I have received both units back already within a week of shipping...

Seniors March 14th by
Gary Osoba
Very interesting to see Chip Garner in the 15m Duck Hawk winning the
day in what appears to be relatively weak conditions. Span-limited in
comparison to many of the ships with longer legs, he was nearly 10%
faster in raw speed than KS, who is leading in a Duo.

Trouble getting mail from RAS by
Firstlight
Hello Users,
I am obviously too dumb to survive in the computer era. I can see posts to RAS online, but no matter what I do, I can't get them delivered to my inbox. Is there somebody who can walk me through the steps? I've tried several different addresses.
Thankfully, I am a bit better at flying...
