Hello, Anyone have a good set of points to indoctrinate an SN10B on the ways of a LAK-12? I cannot quite get the numbers I need from the LAK owner's manual, and the polar is not included in the canned bunch that comes with the ILEC. Nimbus II is close, I suppose, but I'd like to get it...

Many of you use, or could use, felt for lots of things in your trailers (fitments, pads), your dollies, wing stands (maybe). I know that over the years, felt has been a part of every one of my winter's project list. I used to have an industrial supplier "down the street" and got off-cuts from him...

Hey Guys, It's been great in Condor-land. Folks are joining on in droves! Come and join the fun in the virtual soaring community! https://soaringeconomist.com/2020/04/06/condor-activity-increases-four-fold/ All the best, Daniel

This 2-33 is up for a salvage bid. If you look at the photos, there is no vario in the glider! Boggs

Was playing with an old variometer the other day, actually was looking into re-balancing the needle so it reads at 0 instead of 200ft up. As a test I put drop of water on the needle, here a youtube video of what happens.. https://youtu.be/3J76lSd68lg Brian

All Hoping for some help here - My Std Cirrus has cam style hotellier fittings and I havent been able to find a wedekind sleeve that works with these rather than the vertical plunger style.. Any clues for finding sleeves for these? Thanks in advance Peter Deane, Std Cirrus 5T

Submitting corrections is quite easy. Just send a brief email to the address below stating the problem and the chart at issue. For us glider pilots, the most important problems on the charts are old airstrips which have become unlandable for one reason or another. When...

Any ideas? I have updated the NA .cit file, etc. I have never seen this problem before. Thanks.

Just spoke with James today, 3/04/2015 12:15 MST. He was in Ely. Normal summer operations are planned with 2 tow planes/ 2 tow pilots for a 7 day/week full summer operation. Normal evening hanger BBQ's, shower's, tie downs available. Other words....nothing's changed. Call the Ely Jet Center...

Does anyone out there know if hand controls are available for the Grob 109 Motorglider? Or if there are any motorgliders available with hand operated rudder controls? Any help would be much appreciated. -

40 Rolls of white gap tape for $45 Shipping paid to addresses in the USA. This tape is good for single day use. Put it on, fly, take it off. It is NOT as good as the $8 to $15 a roll tape, but for about $1.10 a roll it is a reasonable alternative.

An important but difficult question to answer is "How well did I sleep last night?" It would be nice to have some objective measure of that other than "clock time" because sleep quality varies. I've been experimenting with an Ipod Touch App that uses the accelerometer to log my "tossing and...

Hi, All the discussion on r.a.s. about small video camera systems was very interesting. Certainly having more people capturing the fun of soaring on video should help promote our wonderful sport. I have therefore decided to sell and support the Replay XD family of video cameras and...

Hi guys, I have a 1986 Komet trailer for sale in good condition although it has some cosmetic issues that would take about 3 days to correct. It has stored in a hanger the past few years. It had an Asw20 in it. The price goes up if I fix them. If your interested . NJ/NY

Well I brought the Cherokee down to Littlefield, TX on Saturday hoping for some good soaring. Ended up making it 2/3 around a 200 mile triangle and most significantly got a 10,700 ft gain so my Gold Badge should be complete after a little paperwork. Guess I'm alright to start flying in the back...

Friends, I had the good fortune of interviewing Mr. Lanier Frantz today. He spoke on what a contest needs to get it going in the right direction. Then demonstrated his sole responsibility at the contest. A must see for all racing pilots and fans. Sincerely,

I just came across this video from UCAR on youtube today. I hope they post more of the interview somewhere. http://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D7ufbABtRkYg Peter
