Ugh. Flight trace didn't download off FLARM brick by Kurt Thams
After a sweet flight, I get home to discover that the flight trace did not copy onto the USB stick. Do I need to bring a computer with me to the airport to check each time before I leave the glider that the trace made it?

aileron seals on SZD-45 by ProfJ
Hi Folks, Looking for some crowd wisdom (or individual wisdom) on the subject of putting seals on a previously unsealed glider. I have an SZD-45 Ogar motorglider, which is a lot of fun to fly except for a couple of things. The main one is that the stick control forces get really high as the...

Greetings: Last week, around Wednesday, there was a large grass fire west of Portales, New Mexico, USA. The wind was around 45 knots and it was warm. Albuquerque television station KOB aired some video tape of the fire that I found astounding. They showed two, what I would call, fire-devils. ...

Anyone here know the diameter of a Jantar Std3 axle? (or SZD-59 axle, or any other Polish ship that happens to use the same axle...) My ships' far away and I'm scheming right now, lacking numbers. The manuals etc speak not of it. Thx. -Paul

http://ssa.org/members/badgesandrecords/RecordTable.asp 448.24mi Fritz Seger 8/29/1987 Not to diminish Fritz Seger's fantastic flight but, I would have thought this record would have been surpassed on some of the ridges in the east by now. Is going for this record unappealing to a lot of pilots?
