Not telling where I went, or about the little green men who escorted me -- but all I can reveal is that they gave me the secrets of all thermals ....

I`m searching for good ideas how to deter crows from landing on my glider, which is picketted out during the season, from wrecking my weather covers?

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/09/180920101605.htm With this technology could anyone win a soaring contest? Expiring minds want to know. ;-)

I'm a rather new glider pilot and I am about to fly on the PW5 as my instructor deems me to be competent after training on the G103, I've seen photos and the glider seems small and the wingspan is only 10 meters or so, so I was wondering how she flies. Any PW-5 experiences? Thanks! Happy gliding!

I fly an ASW-28. The under-surface of the wing has a nice little piece of plastic that covers the dump valve and which is hinged by a piece of cloth tape. When flying with water ballast my assumption is that correct procedure is to leave the piece of plastic in place, but open and hanging down from...

Updated US airspace information for the charting cycle effective 23 September , 2010 is now (a little belatedly) available on my website at http://www.soaringdata.info. Due to some technical difficulties, it hasn't yet been posted on the airspace section of the Worldwide Soaring Turnpoint...

Hello, All, I'm very happy to announce that my club now has a Piper Pawnee. It has a 260hp engine, Hutchinson conversion and a Tost tow hook. It's gone through a long rejuvenation process with all new electrical system, glass, radio, transponder, lights, strobe and encoder. Despite flying in the...

Can anyone provide any information about the above - specifically, where to get the brake discs from??? If not, any help related to what the brake discs come from - any owners out there had to do any work on the brakes??? Really stuck as all local car/bike/truck parts shops can't identify the...

Does anyone have experience with the installation of an ACK TECHNOLOGIES EO-1 ELT in an HpH 304C? Doesn't appear to be room behind spars because of O2 and battery compartment hatch.. Any suggestions?

Where can I get one of these that says "I bought from Paul?"

I just spoke with Charlie Spratt, he is at home and doing OK. He is going back for more surgery mid-June which will cause him to be unable to make the contest scene for the rest of 2005. He is in good spirits and I said I would post this. His search for a kidney is still going on, but he has some...

I fly a motor glider out of the San Francisco Bay Area and frequently head over the Sierras to the good soaring. My question has to do with lift on the Sierras themselves. I've occasionally been able to soar on them, but most of the time find them marginal at best. Clouds which would indicate...

I notice that a Schweizer 2-32 with a published L/D of 33 is handicapped at 1.500. This seems like a great bargain, the same as a Falke SF-25C at 1.500 but with only about 22 L/D. Are there other equally great deals out there ? Or any outstandingly heavily handicapped types ? Ian

My Ventus 2cxM has been flying in the Experimental Category since new (2003), and each year I've been faithfully updating the Experimental Letter (I just change the date) and mailing it to my FSDO. I've been told that the wording of the standard Experimental Letter is different now, and if I...
