Another reminder I have a 15 M cigar tube trailer for sale for $1,200 or best offer. It has an all metal floor and ample storage space in the front, a literal bookshelf almost. 43 inches of clearance from floor to top for wings and 44 inches from bottom to top with fuselage. Photos on link below....

Is there anyone who is going to the 15m Nationals in Montague who will be returning South bound in the vicinity of Sacramento? I will be returning via airlines back to New York and the flight fare is substantially cheaper out of Sacramento CA rather than Medford Oregon. A ride would be greatly...

Was there a minimum height on the finish line? Lou

Whats with this - anyone know the reason? TA

While most were on final leg. Hope it isn't same reason as in WGC Uvalde.

Hello All, My 1981 Bikle trailer for my Schempp-Hirth Ventus b 16.6 was heavily damaged by a tornado late last year. Luckily the glider was in a hangar. I'm looking for a replacement trailer. I'd like to replace it with a good condition Cobra or Komet. Yes, I know they're hard to find, aren't...

15M/Open Class Nats., Uvalde, Tx. Interim CD, Mark Keene. "Yesterday’s thought that it would be a little bit better than it was and watching the tracker, especially 15M it looks like you were following streets. I know it wasn’t as good as Uvalde can be." Today’s wx. Looking at the result...

Final Day 15M/Open Class Nats: Mark Keene on todays weather. This is wx. we’ve been waiting for, but cirrus to NW, sliding to SW. It could become in play later. Southern area for tasks. Thermals 3000/4000 feet at 1pm, but gets better as the afternoon progresses, again in the SW. Sky Site...

Haven't seen any postings, with regard to todays plan, as of 11am central, but I'd say the day is done, based on the forecast. Low ceilings and spotty showers. Anyone know differently? Thanks!

The 16th Annual Moonlight Ball is coming in April 2007. This is a major fund raiser for the museum. Our goal is to raise enough money for an additional hangar to protect the aircraft that are currently stored outside. Feel free to share this message with anyone you think might...

Needing a replacment, my transponder shop told me that above 15k' the FAR's require a 250 watt transponder (125w below 15k'). True? I'm pretty sure that sailplane owners are mostly installing 175 watt units and flying them to 18k' (and higher in wave windows). Right? If this 15k' rule is real,...
