Ventus C being parted-out by [email protected]
My Ventus C didn't survive the last landing, the insurance company totaled it and I have the remains. I may have been the only bidder as I was able to acquire it as a salvage sale for a ridiculously low price. So, if anyone wants to offer a reasonable for the entire plane, let me know - I'll be...

soaring into the future by Brad[_2_]
I was browsing thru one of the Yahoo glider N.G.'s today and read where the World Class design may get ressurected. That got me to thinking: What would the ideal recreational next generation sailplane sailplane look like? I imagine it won't look much different from what we are seeing now in terms...

PowerFlarm and ADS-B solution, can we find one? by Andrzej Kobus
I think it is time to end this back and forth ping pong about restricting the use of PF. We have to agree to disagree and try to come up with a solution that could work for both groups. Let's try to define some criteria that might be acceptable to all: 1) Should targets be visible on PowerFlarm...

Tow Hook on Cessna 180 - Update by Stuart Grant
Thanks for all the private responses. I don't have everything needed for a legal installation yet but I am now relatively certain it is possible. Neal Pfeiffer was kind enough to put me in touch with Charles Pate at Cessna's Structural Engineering Department. Charles directed me to the FAA's...

Becker vs Microair by Dixie Sierra
I've decided to give up on my Avionic Dittel and buy new. It's been a good radio and has given many years of service, but I'd like some new functionality. Functionality is really at the heart of my dilemna. I've kind of narrowed things down to Becker vs Microair (I've ruled out Walter Dittel on...

Leading Turns With Rudder by sisu1a
Hi All, An SSA 'Master' CFIG I know is perpetually hammering it into his students that to initiate a turn in a glider, the FIRST thing you do is feed in rudder. On his 1-5 list of making a turn in a glider, #1 is rudder (as it's own separate input). While this may be aerodynamically acceptable...

Boy Who Flew With Condors - Dick Johnson? Other Comments by ContestID67
I finally got around to watching this 1967 movie which I bought on eBay more than a month ago. It was surprisingly well done. Not that Walt ever put out a bad product, his production values were always top notch. However, when the popular media shows soaring, I often see realism and accuracy go...
