Interesting Tows by
glider[_2_]
One of the most unique tows was from the old Grand Central Air
Terminal in 1940 or '41 .
Don Mitchell was in a new Bowlus Baby Albatross and towed by
Hollywood personalities, Edgar Burgan, Don Wilson and Andy Devine.
They were on horses. Mitchell was on live radio.

Help calculating Speed To Fly for headwind and tailwind by
Tim Taylor
I am looking for the equations to determine the speed to fly for a
headwind or tailwind. I can calculate the the speed to fly for no
wind based on the polar from Equation V (Page 106, 1988 US Version) in
Reichmann. He gives a graphical method to determine the speeds for a
headwind or tailwind but...

Keys for older Cobra trailers by
mattm[_2_]
Hi, All,
I've got an issue with my older (1990) Cobra trailer. It has the
older style rectangular
latches that you have to press in to lock, and then use the key to
open. Where do
you get the key blanks for the locks? I've only got one key and my
local locksmiths
couldn't find any matching...

Airspace grab by
Tom[_12_]
I announced the following FAA rule in my popular newsletter (please
see www.eglider.org)
This is just the first of new airspace rules ending the airspace
freedom we have enjoyed up to now, and may make glider flying near the
major east and west coast corridors impossible or impractical.

Losing time in Cloud-Streets? by
noel.wade
All -
I've been flying with the assumption that flying slow in cloud-streets
is always a good idea. But in looking at some of my OLC flights I
wonder if my logic is faulty and I'm hurting my speed. Anyone with
lots of OLC or contest experience care to offer feedback? Details
below...

FS Sage vario, Security chute by
4Z
Spring cleaning! I have a newly rebuilt 80 mm Sage SV vario. I'd
like to trade it for a 57 mm Sage or sell for $600 OBO. Also have a
1979 Security 250 chute. Always well cared for, just passed
inspection and has a fresh repack, $500 OBO.

ALKO plastic bits by

Most of the plastic parts on my club's European trailer are made by

Belly Landing - Involve the insurance company? by
noel.wade
All -
Would love opinions from anyone who's been through an insurance-
related claim on a glider... My DG-300's gear collapsed on landing
Saturday. The down-lock tab squished into the rubber "donut" spacer,
instead of pivoting into place beyond it, and I didn't notice the
difference (it was...

I flew down to El Tiro with my friend Warren to each take a day flying
with Garret in his Stemme during the Region 9 contest and had fun
taking a few hours worth of video footage both on the ground and in
the air. It was hard to edit it down to under 10 minutes! Everyone
at the contest was very...

ALKO running gear by

Mechanical brakes in USA would be great but I'm pretty sure it's
impossible to buy them here.
Seems like an obvious business opportunity for someone.

TYVEK for Glider Cover by
soarboy
I am considering to replace the top surface of our glider cover with
TYVEK-RV. I am thinking to leave the white side out. Our current
covers really have discolored to brown and the skins have shrunk some.
Anyone have some TYVEK-experience when used as glider covers. I am
specifically worried about...

SUA airspace format by
Martin Gregorie[_5_]
Can anybody point me at a definition of the SUA airspace file format,
please?
LK8000 uses it, but so far I haven't been able to find the UK airspace in
SUA format, so its looking more and more as if I'll have to convert a TNP
or OpenAir file to SUA.

Common error in center of gravity calculation by
Matt Herron Jr.
I thought I should highlight an error that is being made in
calculating CG that appears to be widespread, and that can lead to a
miscalculation in center of gravity by up to 10% (or possibly more) of
the allowable CG range.
The problem arises from a difference in the way Europeans and
Americans...

TINSFOS question by
Brad[_2_]
am curious about 16.5m wing extensions, are ailerons usually
incorporated into these, or if the existing aileron/flaperon ran full
span to begin with, would the roll rate suffer if the extension did
not include the control surface?
BTW...................Mr. Moffat inspired me when I saw him sawing...
