Important Notice
Dear Friends,
Seminole-Lake is my soul business and for as long as I lived, my intention was never to sell it.
Due to family problems and COVID-19 issues I must take a decision about its future, therefore I’m determined to sell half of the...

Power Flarm Display by
SteveB_Z5
I'm thinking about getting a Power Flarm brick. What do users think of the display? Sun and shade readability?
Thanks,

glassholes by
pw5isthebest
In a few different threads now I have read disparaging remarks towards
those people who choose to fly gliders with less than a 40:1 glide
ratio.
There are a few glassholes on this group who put down anyone who
can't afford or doesn't want to fly an LS-4. ASW-27, Ventus etc...
Mention a Russia,...

Airbus 380 by
[email protected]
A few weeks ago there was on RAS a thread concerning the increased cost
of German gliders, due apparently to the voracious appetite of Airbus
for the raw materials: fiberglass, carbon fiber, etc...I read today
that FedEx had cancelled its order and options for a number of A380s,
and UPS was mulling...

Why so expensive (flight recorders) by
Jim Beckman
A simple (EW Microrecorder) is under $800. In todays
money, an extra $20 for a badge flight is less than
the round of beers you buy. 40 badge flights and you
can buy a second one. Pretty soon, you hold a club
meeting to decide what to buy next once there are
enough
recorders.
Again...

Does How a (Sailplane) Pilot Thinks, Matter? by
BobW
Thought I'd start a new thread, kinda-sorta forked off one "festering" in "The
Boy Who Flew With Condors" thread (which I re-watched last night for the first
time in decades; cool!)...
On the card is a Grudge Match between two (irreconcilable?) schools of
thought. Will there be a WINNAH?!?

Use of weak links by
Paul[_7_]
Currently the club that I am part of don't seem to be too concerned about
the safety aspects of using the correct weak links for winch launching
and I'd like to know how safe it is.
Currently I see two issues with the winch launching:
1. Sometimes a weak link is not used at all. The gliders are...

Tony Condon Downwind Dash by
Steve Leonard[_2_]
Tony Condon is on a downwind dash from Wellington, KS. Last I heard, goal was somewhere in Texas. Cloud base should be pushing 7000 AGL, and tailwinds in excess of 30 knots. B/S ratio forecast is pretty low, but I have flown on similar sorts of days and found the lift to be very good. Will see...

What First Glider to own? by
Sparkorama
I'm getting back into the sport after a long hiatus and flying in the Boston area. I'll be putting some winter flying time in and I'm considering buying my first glider once I'm back to comfortable solos and my private license. (Naturally, I won't fly anything until I am competent and ready). Any...

Transponders by

A question to you fine soaring fraternity, what would your response be to
someone who suggested that it might be feasable to run a transponder in a
glider with a pedal generator?
