I am using an Oudie with my LX5000 and for some unknown reason, the Oudie will not properly download the flights. It used to work on a regular basis. When I am attempting the downloads, everything looks like it is working properly, but when I go to view the files, there are not there. I do not have...

As far as I know, the first two diamond altitude gains ever made in Oklahoma were accomplished yesterday. Wind was SW at about 40 knots and consistent up to at least 30,000 ft. I launched just before 8:30 AM in the Silent 2 Electro (THANK YOU LEO AND JENNIFER!) and found the secondary right next...

Anyone with a damaged canopy with wind scoop they would like to sell?

I loaded the latest firmware and got a peculiar issue. The numbers around the vario rosette are not displayed when the units are US or English. They display fine in metric units. I reloaded it twice and got the same result.. Anyone seen this problem but me? -Dirk

Hi, Does anyone perhaps have an electronic version of an ASH-25 flight manual, or know where I might find one? I'm renting one for a week in December (South African summer). Flying it will be a new experience for me, and I'd like to be as prepared as possible. I found one electronic version by...

Hi all, I believe that this flight test was done, and a polar exists, but I can't get a hold of it. Maybe it's confidential. If anyone can obtain it for me, I'd be very grateful :) OXO, Condor Team www.condorsoaring.com

Last week, I conjured up a holiday called "Take your plane to work day" as an excuse to bring my Ventus C to the office. I assembled it in the parking lot and invited the whole company out to learn a bit about soaring during lunch. Folks could sit in the cockpit, get their picture taken, and ask...

It looks like I'll finish this batch a bit ahead of schedule. If I can finish making and adding the shank fittings this weekend I will start mailing them out Monday 28 November. It also looks like I might have one left over--when I make parts like this I always kit out one or two extra assemblies...

Hi Guys, One of our club members has just bought a beautiful Speed Astir. Does anyone have an idea of speed to fly flap settings or did Dick Johnson ever do a test on one. Most of the other flapped gliders have some sort of recommendations for cruise vs climb Justin

The latest edition if AOPA magazine has a nice article about soaring. The photography in the article is outstanding.

This endeavor may never materialize but I'm thinking about it. Please give any advice about what to look out for, or what to look for, or nice to have, as well as minimums and ideal as far as looking for and acquiring property, hangar and constructing a hanger for living. Maybe someone has done...

Was looking over the entry sheet for WGC 2017. The open class seem dominated by 21 meter ships. Only two 23 meters (new generation open class) and four EB29. Nary a Nimbus 4 or ASW-22. Shame these beautifully ladies of the sky are not competitive with even the 21 meter birds. There is nothing...
