Hello, I am interested in purchasing an inexpensive handheld GPS for crew use during retrieves. Any suggestions on units that are easy to use for a first time user (simple for the crew), and easily accept Lat/Longs to find a glider out in the boondocks would be appreciated.

Hello Ken, In 51 years of soring I have had two unplanned terminations from a tow. Both took place in the 70's. In 1973 while on tow in a Std Libelle the tow rope quietly released from the nose hook (Tost). I had done nothing to precipitate this release ...no hand on the release, no banging the...

Anyone else unable to log onto Dr Jack's weather site?? I get the "Page Not Found" screen.

I read on the website that last year the SSA folks in Hobbs hand stuffed 10,000 mailers that were sent to potential members. And, that the results were less that satisfactory to them. This seems to me to me a very significant effort by a very small number of already overworked people. We all...

I am rewiring my panel and would like to use circuit breakers instead of fuses. I have been unable to find a source. Anyone know where I might be able to purchase these? I'm in Tennessee, USA.

The past 2 times I have flown, my Volkslogger seems to have not recorded a flight log. I have the Volkslogger driving an SN-10 – the SN-10 has a flight log. I cleared the Volkslogger memory before both flights. I am using SeeYou to download the logs. The prgm shows a connection but doesn't show...

Do we know if SeeYou 7.11 is compatible with the new Windows 10? Has anyone tested it in Beta Mode? I do not want to update my Win8.1 Notebook to Win10 is there is a problem with SeeYou. BillT

David Lawrence's article in the August issue of Soaring magazine "Lord if You're Up There." teaches us a lesson about the need to be thorough and prepared whenever we fly. The accident is also a reminder of what can happen when an aircraft is flown faster than it is designed to fly. But there...

Mark Boyd from first post: So for my flight review in Avenal yesterday, we did a bunch of slack line corrections. We did them during one tow, but broke the rope. 150' of rope ($12), two schweizer rings ($20), one tost ring ($35), a carabiner (sp?), two half-wiffle...
