SSA as sub chapter of AOPA by
[email protected]
This topic has been discussed before but should be revisited. If the gliding community was brought within the umbrella organization of private pilots (ie., AOPA), a larger audience of potential new soaring pilots could be reached. For example, take a look at European flying monthly magazines....

FLARM vs ADS-B XCSoar by
John Smith
I'm a newer pilot, recently solo. I purchased a Russian AC-4C with TRIG transponder already installed.
I know I can purchase a Power FLARM for around $1,500 and have it display FLARM and ADS-B traffic on my Tablet with XCSoar.
Is there a way to have the ADS-B and other traffic appear on the...

MacCready theory in wave by
John Cochrane[_3_]
Following some fun discussions with Kempton Izuno I worked out MacCready theory in wave. It turns out we should fly faster.

Schweizer 1-34 Tail Tie Down? by
Papa3[_2_]
The manual is a bit vague on what fixture is used to tie down an SGS 1-34 tail. Almost every single seat Schweizer I can remember has some sort of eye bolt in the lower empennage area. What's the scoop with a 1-34? I'm not near the gliderport and the question came up in our club newsgroup. ...

the runway, I could take off backwards! Naaah... I think I'll stay home.

Fuses on the panel, or not by

My big winter glider project is going to be re-doing my control panel. I have been looking at a lot of panel pictures recently and I notice that a lot of them have panel mounted fuse holders all over them. My experience with our panel mounted electronic gizmos is that if they blow a fuse,...

Phantom flights? by
[email protected]
I'm not the OLC police, but these flights are extremely odd. Taking off with an ASH-25 from Lost River Resort, even with a 260 Pawnee would be sketchy. Self launch is out of the question. (Especially when the airfield is covered with snow) Also, None of the N numbers on this fellow's stable of...
