Angle of incidence by
Roel Baardman
After speaking with an instructor about my Pilatus B4 landings, he argued that
the angle of incidence on this glider has a great influence on the landing
characteristics.
I looked it up, and it was only 1.5 degrees. With the tailplane oriented at -3
degrees.
However, I cannot figure out what other...

Polarized Sun Glasses by

How many of you use polarized sun glasses? Are they common? Are
they popular? Do they work?
I personally use Sun Tigers.

Rocky Mountain Racing Venues by
Fox Two[_2_]
Before packing up my Discus2 and moving to the French Alps, I only had the opportunity to race a couple of times in the USA, and never at a Rocky Mountain Racing Venue. If one defined a “Rocky Mountain Racing Venue (RMRV)” as one where the pilots routinely found themselves at or below the...

Contest insurance by
Gary Adams
After reading the threads last month on insurance, I'm still not sure who besides Costello offers insurance that will satisfy the SSA comp requirement. My experience with Costello has left me looking. Names? LL Johns AVEMCO?

ILEC SN10 remote control by
[email protected]
I eventually want to buy a remote control unit for my ILEC SN 10B,
but I´m not shure where to store it in flight to get easy access to
it. Where is the best place for it in the cockpit, so it doesn´t
disturb the handling of the ship? Does anybody have experiencies/
pictures?
Thanks,
Bernd

BMapper back - YAY!! by
[email protected]
Just noticed that Dale Kramer's BMapper is operating again. Thanks to Dr. Jack and all who helped him get my favorite soaring weather program going again. I very much like the XCSkies system as well (and it is probably better overall), but I LOVE my BMapper!

How could soaring not make you excited?! by
Wade
I think that the fact that Jerzy Szemplinski has flown with such
consistency is awesome and not only did he win at Perry but he
literally held the contest lead at Mifflin throughout the entire
event. If that doesn't make you want to hang around Jerzy and learn a
thing or two you are crazy. Nice...

Predestined to Die? by

I don't want to hijack the thread about Walter Mueller's 75 gliding
anniversary (GO, Walter!) by talk about an early death...seems a bit
