In addition to max gross weight, some glider manuals specify a max weight for non lift producing components. But I haven't found much discussion of the significance of exceeding the max or information that would allow one to calculate the weight of non-lifting components (like a breakout showing...

Location, location, location! A well-known US pilot had the gold altitude and distance certified when he had a total of 19hrs gliding time and had not yet done the 5-hr flight. He is a person for whom I have enormous respect, a natural, but he still had to have the location at that stage of the...

So where is the official definition of Club class on the SSA site? I downloaded the Handicap Excel file, and sorted it by any that had a "C" attribute in the notes. It appears to include LS-6 .898 to Austria SH-1 1.115 but probably in error it shows something i never heard of as Freedom Falcon...

My apologies to the Usenet police cross posting but I am in mourning for friends lost, and in sympathy for the families they left alone. This week we have seen behavior that can only be described as reckless.

Can anybody tell me the numbers to enter in the Cambridge 302 for the Discus A, or where to find these numbers? Thanks.

Well I finally got out in my (new to me anyways) Ka-6 the other day, and I was wondering if anyone out there has some tips to make assembling it any easier. Ideally I'd like to get to a system where I wouldn't have to bother fellow club members too much for help. I figure as long as I keep the beer...
