Tales of being distracted by scenery and/or euphoria while soaring by
son_of_flubber
Like many pilots, I try to be extremely cool and rational when I'm flying a glider and (such as it is)I enjoy my technical mastery of soaring, and I enjoy the companionable and endless discussion of technical detail on the ground.
But I fly in eastern-scale 'mountains', often below the ridge...

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...

called Cloth Backed Gaffers Tape. It features a strong cloth backing,
not plastic and a better adhesive. It will not turn to mush and leave
gobs of hard to clean off adhesive all over your finish. Its available
in a number of...

New Mexico Fire-Devils by
Larry Pardue
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. ...

Pilatus B4 and corrosion by
Mika Koski
Hi,

corrosion? I heard that parts of the plane are somehow corrosion
protected, but does it work even today when most of the B4s are 30

Jantar 3 Axle Diameter? by
sisu1a
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.

Fritz Seger

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?
