At 7:26 PM Mountain Time there are no flights for July 3 shown for the US on the OLC site. Does this strike anyone as strange? I was looking for some Parowan Reg 9 flights. Bill Daniels

A large high pressure aloft (500mb) is expanding over the SW U.S. This typically causes high temperatures (in this case near record max high temps), a suppressed marine layer and excellent soaring weather to the Mojave Desert, Owens Valley and Western NV. On Wed 07/04/07, the 500mb center will be...

Has anyone recently exported a glider from the US to Australia? I haven't done this and want everything to go as smooth as possible. I am looking to talk to someone that may be able to give me pointers etc. If you can help, my email address is: please remove numbers...

It seem that the safety finish was rejected based on the revised score sheet. What are the details? Regards Udo

I would be interested to hear from users of the B500, especially those in Europe and those with the GCD2 with mini-sd card. I bought my unit at the end of last year, I find the steering to a waypoint information is consistently 7-14 degrees out. The manufacturer is unable to reproduce the problem...

'The famous Cherokee II with this intrepid pilot behind the controls has set a new season record for the shortest cross country flight flown. approximately 15 miles to the east with a landing in an often stared down grass strip next to a state highway. I've driven past that one millions of times...

We had a couple show up at our club with an email indicating the husband had bought a glider ride through an online company devoted to thrill event sales. The email indicated they had contacted our club, talked with our president, and made an appointment for a flight at 1:00pm. No such...

I'm interested in what others are using for mobile gound communications set ups, as in chase vehicles used on long straight out flights. Obviously, would like something reasonaly priced...read cheap. Anyone using a handheld VHF transceiver with an external (roof top) antenna?

Hi, I have just received my 302A back from a barograph calibration and now the flight logs that I download returns an error message 'Security Fail'. It still gives me an igc file that I can up load to OLC but the flight remains greyed out with a message that the 'log file not valid' . I have...

The Kiwis seem to have worked out how to capture the race using helicopters to gapture the gaggles on film and GIS systems to predict thermals etc. In this day and age of advanced met and digital technology... Will it ever make it to the podiums? Tried this post on UK RAS and got zero replies....

Oh boy, what a day! Cu's everywhere, even though the weather forecast called for the early stuff to burn off by the time the gate opened. The six towplanes (4 Pawnee's, 1 Cezzna 175, and one Cezzna Agwagon) got the fleet in the air without hesitation. There were a bunch of gliders in front of me,...

'If you liked the weather yesterday, you'll find today different.' That's how the Southern Gentleman Weatherman, Ray Galloway started off the morning briefing. Unlike Saturday when we had nothing but smoke and Sunday when we had typical mid spring weather, today we had cool weather and low...

What voltage powers the old Crossfell vario.? The red/green face variety? Thanks, Bob Gaines

We are going for an annual visit in a fortnight and will be flying near the Coburg zone. On a previous visit we were told that it is mandatory to get permission to enter...

Those who didn't make the cut at Parowan might consider the Region 8 Contest at Ephrata (EPH). Almost same dates (07-01-07 to 07-07-07). EPH offers very safe flying, primarily over the Columbia Basin; the field is at 1280 ft msl; at about 4500 ft msl, you can see more than 20 of the turnpoints. ...
