Hey Guys, We're back in New Zealand tonight, soaring the Omarama wave! Thanks Nick Oakley (OWN) for making the task. The conditions are modeled to be as realistic as possible. Probably the biggest challenge of the task is transitioning into the wave at the start. Since many pilots haven't flown...

Brilliant Mk VIII description & video and I just love the quote: - "No solution is too complicated for a Lange glider, right Axel". But the MkVIII itself clearly need to be updated, I mean using actual panel switches is so last century: what's wrong with voice actuation? Surely modern software...

"Incredible close-up footage of Boeing 787 leaving huge vapour trail through the sky" Incredible footage of BOEING 787 vapor trail... It's a british so some hyperobole in the headline of course but still interesting: (also try to ignore the misspelling of vapor)....

I am promoting a book with stories about gliding in Germany and England in the late '30s. However the point of this obvious spam is to benefit the ATA museum at Maidenhead. The entire 11 pounds will be theirs if you buy from...

Given: the MK IV yaw string is a fine product. However, the Gallagher in me chuckles with the realization one of the recent most popular RAS topics regards installing or replacing a string. This post makes 54...and surely more to come. Seemingly a topic for the next Soaring Symposium. Ben

Anyone venture to guess when we will think of carbon fiber as 'heavy'? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-22079592

Looks like a gentle ridge day for the northern part of the ridge system. Limited to PA/NJ/NY from the looks of the GFS model runs. Winds are actually better on Friday, but as of now looks like it stays wet for most of the day.

Anyone know if there's a marker or plaque at Corn Hill, Truro, Cape Cod for the NSM landmark? And if so, how to find it? Thanks in advance, Erik

Does anyone know if the various soaring software packages are available or work with a Mac?

UK glider pilots – please help to provide some statistical data about NOTAMs and how you obtain and use them. It is needed to support the case for improvements to the available AIS system, and/or third party software, to show graphically where things are happening. One of the 3rd party providers...
