I don’t have the latest Albuquerque sectional in front of me, but according to my SeeYou maps, the R-5107D restricted airspace over White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico goes from the ground to 22,000ft, and R-5107B (adjacent to the west) goes from the ground to the moon, both continuous...

The weak dollar has driven the price of a new glass slipper with instruments, trailer and shipping to $100,000 US dollars (Bad News) I have watched the dollar exchange rate for almost 30 years and I have made some observations. When the dollar gets this weak, new sales drop off and buyers are...

A question for any aerodynamicists out the why does low aero tow speed adversely affect the handling of a glider so drastically? Occasionally I’ve received an aero tow in my LS-8 (dry) at 55 kt (minimum recommended aero tow speed is 54 kt). The plane is heavy and unresponsive at that speed;...

Has anyone had any experiences, good or bad, with the various solid state horizons on the market. Are they stable, is the response quick enough, are they reliable. (Probably only likely to get answers from UK pilots as the rest don't cloud fly)

I received about a week ago 2 parachutes for repack. Nothing special about it. But in this particular case they require special attention. The first was made by Security Parachute Co. from San Leandro in California. The second is a Original Softie fitted with 1965 Pioneer 4 line canopy. Now...the...

Our club is exploring switching from aero tow to winch launching. Some of our members own older wooden gliders and have expressed concerns about the increased stress on the glider's structure resulting from winch launching vs. aero tow. Is this a valid concern? -- Mike Schumann

Is it powered direct or by another instrument? Did you install a dedicated fuse? Did you install a dedicated off/on switch or is it slaved? Do you use a dedicated GPS antennae or split with another instrument. Do you ever have the in-flight need to turn it off? If you have...

Here's a brief review of my experience with PowerFlarm at last week's Region 9 contest in Moriarty. As some of you know, I've been a bit annoyed with some of my PowerFlarm experience - setup isn't really intuitive and it's hard to find all the info you need in the manual. The antennas are cheesy...

Recent discussions at my small club have centered around the cuurency requirements for commercial glider pilots. My understanding is that a pilot may not carry passengers unless they have had three take offs and landings within the previous ninety days in an aircraft of the same category, class and...

In accounts of the crash of the Cypriot airliner in Greece, all I've read say that loss of cabin pressure could not, by itself, incapacitate the pilot. Yet, I was once told by an ATP that at 40k feet (admittedly this plane was at 35k) O2 supply by itself will not suffice to keep you conscious and...

Folks: You will not yet find this on any accident/incident reports. There were no fatalities. A pilot called me to relay this story. The SZD-50-3 Puchacsz was bought used from Europe and imported to the US with ~1900 hours. The glider was given a US airworthiness inspection, and licensed by an...

Hi everyone, Hilton Software has spent over a year developing WingX. Earlier this week, we announced general availability of the product. "WingX is a Microsoft Pocket PC application designed by pilots for pilots. WingX was designed from the ground up using the latest .NET technology...

Common knowlege about Glider wing designs says that a high taper ratio will lead to Wing tip stalls. However in our flights and research we have found that a straight or forward swept flying wing will not stall a wing tip despite the very narrow chord ( renolds numbers of 325,000) and lack of...

Fellow Soaring Enthusiasts on RAS, The SSA and specifically the SSA Growth and Development committee have accepted the donation of a Blanik L13 for use as a static display at aviation events. Meant as a promotional tool, this purpose built display will allow adults and kids to experience the...

It is with great sadness that I inform you of the destruction of Sisu 1a, s/n 101, N6390X. We had a big storm blow through Avenal Ca and there was much damage. She was tied out (claw anchors, ratchet straps with screw shackles, wings on stands, tail elevated) but the ground liquefied and it was...

I DON'T mean to stir up trouble on this forum with this question, especially being new, but have been wondering about this for some time. I am wondering how feasible it would be to do this with either a homebuilt or experimental glider here in the US? I figure this has been asked but didn't find...

I have a 2016 honda civic. It’s my only car. Has any one towed their glider and trailer using a small sedan like a civic?

My top surface mylar seems to have lost some of it's curvature, because it doesn't quite touch the aileron and flaps when they are in positive positions. Does anyone know a way to put the curve back into the mylar without removing it? It's so well adhered and smoothly installed, I'd like to...
