Sage vario repair - Williams Soaring Unable by
[email protected]
My club is trying to get a Sage vario repaired. We sent it to Williams Soaring last winter but they do not have a tech right now so it is just sitting there. They have not been able to give an answer of when they might be able to start fixing it. Any other places in the world that do repairs?

Do any of yall know of some one that flies mountain wave during the winter in Minden or cali that has a 2 seat glider? I'm planning to stay 2 week in Tahoe during the first 2 weeks of January.

2019 XC & Jr Development Camps by
[email protected]
Looking at the SSA on-line calendar I do not see any XC or Jr development camps scheduled for 2019.
To grow our XC ranks and our Jr's we really need to have these type of events more often - like twice a year (East & West).
I'm thinking of organizing a camp for 2019 that would be geared to...

Solar Farm Development Near Glider Port - Problem? by
OHM Ω http://aviation.derosaweb.net
My club just got word that a solar farm is being proposed to be built about 1 mile directly off the west end of our runway 9-27. The zoning board meeting is tomorrow which I plan on attending.
Aside from this re-use of good farm land (and a close land out spot) is there a downside to having a...

Contest Wait list by
[email protected]
As a fairly new contest pilot but one that enjoys the entire sport.
It is interesting to me that Nephi OLC/XC Camp set for next June has a wait list and the Sr's is already has 39 pilots registered - yet Mifflin and Elmira have less then 10 total.
I have looked at the pilot survey and have...

Repairing a Schanz compass by
Mark Williams
I have a Schanz compass that isn't behaving as a compass should. It's almost impossible to get a bearing no matter how much I fiddle with the pitch and bank settings.
I've removed it from the glider to give it some TLC. There's no liquid inside the compass housing (should there be) and the compass...
