My club is trying to get a Sage vario repaired. We sent it to Williams Soaring last winter but they do not have a tech right now so it is just sitting there. They have not been able to give an answer of when they might be able to start fixing it. Any other places in the world that do repairs?

I have read many FARs that describe the requirements for obtaining a pilot certificate but I have not found an FAR that states a pilot certificate is required in order to fly an aircraft - without passengers and not for compensation or hire. 14 CFR 61.3 details the requirements for a "required...

Do any of yall know of some one that flies mountain wave during the winter in Minden or cali that has a 2 seat glider? I'm planning to stay 2 week in Tahoe during the first 2 weeks of January. I'd like to maybe jump along and learn more about mountain wave. Looking to possibly fly the wave solo too.

Looking at the SSA on-line calendar I do not see any XC or Jr development camps scheduled for 2019. To grow our XC ranks and our Jr's we really need to have these type of events more often - like twice a year (East & West). I'm thinking of organizing a camp for 2019 that would be geared to...

Michigan, Indiana, Ohio Glider Pilots: Sandhill Soaring Club is considering making its DG-505 (N505DS) available for rent to club members for $50/hour in sunny Florida from December through end of March at Seminole Lake Gliderport. Pilots would need to be checked out in Michigan before...

I changed a wheel in my Cobra trailer with the glider inside. I located the Jack just under the corner between the bottom and side wall, next to the fender. Looked flimsy, but held fine, no bending of wall or edge. Was I lucky or is this the right place to do it ? Dan

I'm looking for a used camper van in good condition to replace my crunched 1993 Pleasure Way van that was my traveling soaring home. Should be 2000 or later in decent condition. Only interested in Class B vans that can be street parked.

My club just got word that a solar farm is being proposed to be built about 1 mile directly off the west end of our runway 9-27. The zoning board meeting is tomorrow which I plan on attending. Aside from this re-use of good farm land (and a close land out spot) is there a downside to having a...

As a fairly new contest pilot but one that enjoys the entire sport. It is interesting to me that Nephi OLC/XC Camp set for next June has a wait list and the Sr's is already has 39 pilots registered - yet Mifflin and Elmira have less then 10 total. I have looked at the pilot survey and have...

Does anyone know the status of the Solar Flight 'Sunseeker Duo'? There was some fanfare about it on one of the past Aero-shows in Friederichshafen but their website https://www.solar-flight.com/sunseeker-duo/ hasn't been updated for a while. Sent an email but that went unanswered. Looks like an...

I noticed the SZD-55 has a service life of only 3,000 hrs with a possible 1,500 hr extension. Is this typical of other modern ships like the Discus, Ventus, LS, DG series etc??

How do you change the color markings on a Winter ASI

I have a Schanz compass that isn't behaving as a compass should. It's almost impossible to get a bearing no matter how much I fiddle with the pitch and bank settings. I've removed it from the glider to give it some TLC. There's no liquid inside the compass housing (should there be) and the compass...
