I am interested in hear U.S. glider pilot comments on the pros/cons of all these sites for soaring forecasts. I have used them all at one time or another and find them generally comparable. But, some like RASP and DrJack do a much better job of locating convergence zones/shear lines....

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...

Does anyone keep records on sailplane sales? I have been curoius about the number of the various types of gliders sold in the last 15 years. Bill Snead

I'm looking for sources to use to sell glider rides. I have a persuasive speech competition and I thought maybe some of you ride sellers could help with your expertise on the subject. -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup...

Hey guys, after my first gliding (sorry, I'm English ;) ) session a few months ago I'm dying to get into the sport, and I've got a couple more sessions lined up over summer. Anyways, amongst other things I'm a keen software developer and I've recently stumbled across Google's Android. For those of...

I'm looking for a PZL KI-13A compass to replace mine that has become almost unuseable - the plastic window has clouded and the numbers cannot be read very easily anymore (understatement!). Anyone out there have one sitting on a shelf gathering dust? I know, what do I need a compass for...well, my...

Hi, Yes, there are a lot of post about it, in fact, my brain is quite messy with them, so ... I´ve flown Twin Astir I and II, ASK-21, PW-5, Astir CS, Pegase and LS-7 and now i would like to take a step forward buying a Ventus bt, the problem is that i don´t know anybody who owns one and i would...

OK, Ive not done one. Been checked out, approved and even go to the "all ready to break my outlanding virginity" stage during many flights -only to be saved by a low thermal or afternooon crop fire. So, outlanding is an interesting idea that I am sure to come to grips with soon enough, weather...

Our CFIG has become unavailable and our (small) club near Kansas City is looking for a CFIG. If anyone knows of one that lives close please send me an email or post to this group. Thanks -- Roger Kelly to reply replace the IP address above with ceressenior.com

So, what do you call an outlanding? If you land at an established airport/airfield is this an "Outlanding"? Or is it an uncompleted flight into an airport. I have read a lot of club SOP's that recommend a "planned" outlanding into an airport as training for a real outlanding! Not the same thing. Is...

Following the thread on landing with one spoiler, I wonder what proportion of landing accidents result from mechanical failure or jamming of primary flight controls and spoilers/dive brakes. I personally know of a couple of failures - one spoiler handle sheared off as the pilot did his pre-landing...

I live in a fairly busy area, airplane wise. Just last weekend I spotted a single engine plane coming more or less straight at me at my altitude. I quickly banked to 1) get out of the way and 2) be more visible to the approaching airplane. I didn't notice any reaction so I don't know if he saw...

Messenger, that is... OK, so I've just been driving with it recently. But I have kinda figured it out, and have also set up an email filter to generate a much more useful email or text message position report. What follows will be most useful for someone who already has one of these, but it may...

OK All, So I've been 'round and 'round trying to figure out the right glider to buy (all year). I'm sure you all are getting tired of me by now! :- P But I have a related question for you (for once that does not involve a "Which glider is better" question): How detrimental to performance are...

Here is a question for you DPE's and Instructors to weigh in on. A student pilot on his checkride, was not passed for his private for the following reason. He landed in the opposite direction that he took off from. A little background, the entire days operation was operating from runway 18. His...

I'm considering the addition of a PowerFlarm and probably a transponder (TTG21/22) to my Ventus 2bx, and am wondering if anyone has modified the forward and/or aft battery restraints to accommodate taller batteries. The restraints in my ship are set up for the typical 7-9AH SLA with dimensions...
