Inter-club competition is well underway in the PA/NJ/NY tri-state area. The Brandywine Soaring team has jumped out to a commanding lead - we'll have to see if they can hold. We have had some great early season conditions this year ... and a 1-26 driven by Dan Sazhin has posted the highest...

I don't have a fifth strap in my ship and came up with a way to improve the effectiveness of the stock shoulder belts. I installed a big D ring at the anchor point of the lap belts. An additional strap was constructed with loop at one end ... it is used as shown in the photo. This is a photo of...

John Carlyle came up a little short on the local G-CUP race - and made an off-field landing in a local horse farm near PGC. The ponies took a liking to his glider and the crew car ... covering both with a nice coat of equine saliva. John now has to suffer through publication of his mishap like...

One of the best Soaring covers I have seen ... I'm thinking the camera had to be extended forward off the wing - but it looks out pretty far ... would be interesting to see the camera/rig ... or could it be a formation flight - hard to believe. In any case, great shot by Jim Murray. kk

Anybody have a scoresheet ... and/or participant list ... with addresses would be ideal. Thanks, KK

Good Morning, We're looking for photos we can use in ClearNav Adverts - in the banner. Refer to the ClearNav Media section to see use examples. (http://clearnav.net) Something like the photo in the link below would be perfect - but many other soaring shots with a horizontal orientation could...

I just wondering if current technology could provide improved stall-spin warnings/information. For example, suppose you installed a pitot at each wingtip (and I'm making an assumption you need this level of resolution) and had an instrument that monitored/stored wingtip airspeed and fluctuations …...

I'm getting interested in taking some hd videos on XC missions ... is the GoPro Hero 3 considered the best camera for this type of project. I've also been fooling with a new Video Editor called Power Director ... great app... much better then then older software I had before. I re-reprocessed a...

I'm selling the HP iPAQ Pocket PC H2210 in excellent condition on eBay. I'm only selling it because I rarely use it anymore and my tightwad husband has been getting on my case about my spending habits and I need to prove to him that I can take responsibility for my actions. Here is what you'll get...

My neighbor is an airline captain, flying on intercontinental routes. Last summer we did a 3+ hours XC flight with our club's Janus. - At the first he was quite nervous, winch launch, then tight thermaling in 400 meters until we got enough height to move into better thermals. I would have been...

Bead and Tim, Thank you. -kimmo

Looks like Flexpack service time is 15 years only, so I have to purchase 2 new parachutes for our ASK-21 trainer. Should it be latest version of Flexpack, or something else? Some chutes just do not fit in that plane, and in training use (lots of 7 min flights from winch) caused wear & tear can...

I am updating the variometer system in our club ASW-19b. I would like to add speed/vario switch into the stick handle. Any ideas, advice and suggestion for components welcome!

Do users of Power FLARM need connection with flight computers like Winpilot, XCSoar, LK8000, etc, to show FLARM traffic on the moving map?

Anybody have a good way to run SeeYou on a Apple Mac without partioning the hard drive ?

When traveling with a motor glider out west ( USA), what do people do, when trying to get their O2 bottles refilled? I noticed in the notes on airport services available at smaller airport, that most have no O2 refilling services available. Carrying a full size tank in car to fill from is not an...

Any news on OLC? I'm seeing no flights since last evening.
