Still learning to benefit from thermalling with another glider and so far have not realized the benefits. If you are opposite another glider and observing your progress in relationship to the other glider how do you adjust your path if you see the other glider in better lift? I seem to have the...

The Transponder chatter on other threads got me to thinking about who’s got the closest near-miss? Thought I’d kick it off with my incident over 40 years ago. I was flying my homebuilt wooden sailplane over Mono Lake, Ca. Cursing south at 16000’ and 60 knots when I spotted a 4 engine jet...

I have a 2002 glasstop cobra and I have a lift strut (nitrogen spring?) that just failed on me. It is very difficult to lift the clamshell with even just one failed strut. Is there anyone in the US that might have these in stock? If anyone has replaced theirs with a US made strut I would also...
