As mentioned here in an earlier post, glider pilots who would be adversely affected by a ridge-top wind turbine complex on Jacks Mt near Mifflin are cooperating with a group named SOAR (Save Our Allegheny Ridges)in an attempt to thwart this project. A quick way glider pilots can help is to vote...

The US Sport Pilot initiative seems like it will be fully approved in less than another year. I wonder if Sport Pilots will be insurable in the US? By happy coincidence, Jane and Dennis both seem to be strong supporters, so I hope they can help with the final problem (which has also thwarted...

Does an experimental ASW20B require a compass to be legal. The minimum equipment list in the amnual does not specify a compass?

Does anyone have a link to, or a copy of, an English language paper or explanation about Dr Herbert Pirker's final glide theory? I can't even locate one in German via Google. I can find snippets about it relating to implementation on StrePla in 2006vand I understand that a couple of the NavBoxes...

Details of the Predator UAV crash in Arizona have just been released. Currently two of these pilotless 66-foot wing-span beasts are flying along the Arizona border as part of border patrols and a third will be added next year. Some of us local pilots are underwhelmed.

Does anyone have any data, preferably quantitative, about what sort of braking performance is required? On the one hand, it would seem that effective braking is primordial for safe landing in the event of an outlanding, but on the other hand many gliders seem to have inadequate brakes, to put it...

Many of us received word this morning that Bill is missing and presumed dead in a body surfing accident in Mexico (Thanks, Roy). Was not sure how it would affect me, but I have been pretty subdued all day. Hard to think Bill won't be there to call when I need advice on flying the Ventus and which...

Here is a quote from the DG/LS web site...it is, in my humble opinion, worrisome statement : Economic aspects Everyone knows that the approved certification of new models becomes more and more expensive and the number of production planes will never reach the quantities of the past. The cost for...

Our DG-1000 at Southern Cross Gliding Club (Camden, NSW, Australia) has experienced multiple occurences of both inadvertent retraction and extension of the undercarriage. Typically the undercarrriage has dropped down whilst in flight, in various modes including straight and level in smooth air. We...

I have a datalogger, I have an IPAQ, and I have all the cabling etc. I have spent considerable time at Cumulus Soaring, reading the comparisons of glider software. What I lack is the experience to know what is important. I've played with the features of SeeYou Mobile, and frankly, most of the...
