I am curious as to why the Kestrel polar is not included in any of the flight recorders/flight computers. I have one loaded into my SN-10 from the polar data in the manual so it's not a burning issue, but I'm feeling a bit left out!

Anyone have the lyrics and tabs to that "Ridge Runner" song and "Mama's don't let your babies grow up to fly gliders"??? Or any of Ed Kilbourne's music? I'd like to play that on my guitar.
