How About Story Time by [email protected]
Maybe this is a good opportunity for some of us to share some stories of our experiences. I'll go first.- During the regional at Harris Hill in 2013 I was flying K21 with grandson Calvin Mampe, Rachel Conklin, and her sister Michelle. All 3 had flown multiple contests with me before, 2 having...

PowerFLARM leeching comments by Craig R.
Time to state the obvious. After reading the comments in many of the recent PowerFLARM threads, many folks want to use PowerFLARM for “leeching”. Many are asking for programs to expand and simplify the use of that data. While that information is a byproduct of the important aspect of PF collision...

We need an ASW-19 rebirth for $25,000 by [email protected]
What we need in soaring is a new glider built for a reasonable price. $150,000 for a new glider is just not even a consideration for most people. Let's face it, you can get a low mileage Ferrari for half that price! The PW-5 was a terrible failure. The engineers made the wingspan too short,...

Ads-b and sailplanes by Andrew Ainslie
Has anyone been following the latest moves from the FAA on ads-b and experimental aircraft? A recent article in flying suggested that they are going to relax the requirements for experimental planes so they need a GPS source that is equivalent in performance to TSO'd units. If this is true, it...

AoA keep it going! by fred
In my early hours of being instructed, not one went by without stall and spin practice. They also taught me to look out of the window. Maybe I've done a thousand or more turns before I found myself in a spin that I did not intend to happen. I was in an HP11, over a ridge, with a 1-26 out climbing...

Too many accidents by [email protected]
I have been soaring since the late 70's and can recall many accidents in the past. It seems, however, that recently the accident rate has spiked. While I don't have exact data to confirm this (I'm sure our friends at the SSF have it), it seems that we are experiencing higher than average...

Put your money where the risk is by Bret Hess
The discussion "Gliding risk" has been excellent for the most part. To me the most compelling thoughts are about gradually getting conditioned to taking increasing risks ("normalization of deviance"), that experience is a curse as well as a blessing, and that fatalities are just the apex of a...

I'm looking for a glider for cross country in the $25k range. I'd like to get a flapped 15 meter, and have been doing a lot of searching and reading on the groups and have kind of narrowed my decision down to an ASW20 or LS3a I have about 200 hours in gliders all glass, but never anything with...

Spinning (mis)concepts by Arnold Pieper
1) "The spin is caused primarily by the position of the controls" - True, but spins can also be cause by external factors. 2) "...Stick in the aft stop is the 'Stall' position" - Not exactly true. It is true only with the wings level. It is possible to fly regularly in a thermal with the stick...

Trig TT21 Transponder ... reports? by Grider Pirate
There was quite a thread storm 11 months ago here about the TT21 transponder. I assume some of the 'early adopters' here purchased and installed one. Any complaints??
