OPINION Kerry's October surprise Friday, October 29, 2004 How's this for an October surprise? While John Kerry is running around claiming President George Bush and our troops overseas failed the American people by not guarding an explosives dump without explosives in it, documents have been

OK, the peanut gallergy is driving me crazy. So I did a quick internet search and found this very relevant document from FLARM: How to Use FLARM(R) in Gliding Competitions? http://www.segelflugbedarf24.de/flarm/download/Flarm_Competitions.pdf The document includes some pretty interesting...

iSoar is a Mac OS program, not an iOS (iPhone) mobile app yet unfortunately. There are other options for iOS such as SeeYou, etc for flight review (I believe).

I don't think I'm alone here in monitoring press articles about gliding - I like to identify the elements that make the story 'work' (in particular the ones that capture the things i enjoy about gliding). This one's a good one I reckon. Low on the fear/challenge factor and high on the accurate...

Saw an article on the British artist Peter Lanyon, who was a glider pilot from 1959 to 1964 and who died from the effects of a glider crash in Devon on 27 August 1964 (he died three days later). His art was strongly influenced by gliding. I'd like to get more details on the circumstances of his...

No updated calendar for 2009 and it's almost the end of January. I emailed the site via the contact link but no reply. A pity, because it really brightened my day. Does anyone know of any good alternatives? smith

G'day all, With this group's previous advice, I bought some books on weather for soaring (my copy of Wallington sadly went astray in the post), including Pagen. This last is a good book and I found it very useful, but in my copy, the black and white photos of cloud examples had such poor contrast...

This newspaper article has an interesting discussion of the role of mountain wave in the recent Air Canada turbulence incident, including information on some previous airline tragedies linking to wave. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20080111.WAVE11/TPStory/National smith

G'day I'm a student glider pilot, just post-solo, looking for a good book on meteorology for gliding that my wife can give me for my birthday. Since Wallington's Meteorology for Glider Pilots is out of print and available copies are prohibitively expensive, I'd appreciate recommendations for other...

Hi All, Can onyone tell me if the skins on the forward fuselage of an IS-28 are flat wrapped or compound curved (i.e. stretch formed). In other words would it be easy to rebuild the forward fuselage using sheet stock or would it be necessary to buy the preformed skins. Thanks,
