Congrats Rick Indrebo and his ASW-27 for winning the Open Class Nationals.

On a few recent flights I have had some issues with my Nano "freezing up" in flight. I have a Nano connected to my Oudie with the Socket mobile power pack and a goddard cable. Usually it has worked flawlessly with no issues noted. Last two flights at some point the Oudie moving map display...

Ron Schwartz is trying today out of Blairstown. Perfect combination of a ridge day with nearly maximum available daylight. http://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0glVc2hGaLGsP5y7dT5lXiZJ7FKDLiqJU

My rental PowerFLARM for the 13.5 meter regional showed up early so I re-built the shelf that I used last year at Region 10. Thoughts? https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/vPVToC5osaTqjvJiSAFYU9MTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink Will probably mount the dipole on the inside of the turtledeck...

Heard on the radio this morning that Elmira was hit by a suspected tornado last night. Anyone have any idea how Harris Hill fared?

On Sunday I saw 2 regional airliners and King Air inbound to Wichita. Has anyone come up with a PowerFLARM mounting solution for a Std. Cirrus that won't get me on the Hall of Shame? Not enough space on top of the glare shield to keep the antennas straight. Thanks! Tony

I have been to the dark side and can report that they do in fact have cookies. http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0/gliding/flightinfo.html?dsId=2607034 http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0/gliding/flightinfo.html?dsId=2610937

Rick Sheppe spent a lot of his daytime downtime last week putting together a system to stream radio from Uvalde online. It is available on liveatc.net: http://www.liveatc.net/search/?icao=kuva 123.3 is used for the launch, mainly for CD/Sniffer communications and towplanes calling their landing...

I'm going to start making a wing wheel for the Cherokee here shortly. I have some 9 oz glass cloth and some fiberglass resin from advance auto parts. I'm curious how many layers of glass those of you who have done it used?

My last few flights have been with Oudie only and when uploading to the OLC the IGC validation has failed. I also had a format issue with my last flight and had to send it to the OLC help email. The response I got said "I fixed the file, but it has no signature at the end, so it will be invalid...

Just curious thinking today, when was the last time a free distance task was called in a US Contest? Tony

I just noticed on the Talihina yahoo group that Randy Teel climbed to 17,900 today in the wave down by Talihina. Wow! Congrats!

Yesterday I was alerted that Tim Taylor was going to make a 1000 km attempt out of Logan, UT today. Well it looks like he is up and running. Should be fun to watch. http://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0taQlL3JAG6KN4kmWsafqtOp6HJb5Z7rm

So lets say you suddenly came into possession of all 3. The Clear Nav seems to be about the niftiest of all the nifty flight displays out there. The 1-26 is currently winning the OLC in the USA, and the Eta is the hottest of the Open Class. You intend to fly both gliders to their cross country...

Does anyone know of any Regionals offering Sports Class planned for 2011 that take place between the Rockies and the Appalachians? Currently the closest Regional to Wichita is probably going to be either Chilhowee (Region 5 West, 15 hr drive) or Caesar Creek (Region 6 South, 13.5 hrs). There is...

Just had to say something. Last monday I mailed the paperwork for a Silver Altitude and a Diamond Goal/Gold Distance claim. I emailed the .igc files to Rollin. Today both came back approved. Fantastic turn around time and great service from the new badge dude.

Where are you? Haven't heard much from you this spring but surely you and sidekick Bart are busy getting the PW-2 tuned up and ready to go???? After getting inspired by Gordon and Hugh's big flight to Colorada and then John and Dan's flight from Ohio to New Jersey I decided that the midwest was...
