lots of long flights in the 2-32, but that's in a different class than the 2-33 or 2-22.

How many more pilots need to die until the rudder waggle will be

And if the glider is on to at a busy GA airport with near constant radio calls by other aircraft? What then?????

Photocromatic sunglasses by
5Z
In another thread, some folks mention flying with these "light
sensitive" glasses.
I have a pair, but find I must use clip-ons while driving, as the
glasses apparently react to UV, and the car's windows filter most of
it. I have also found that same effect, though a bit milder in the
sailplane. ...

302 wind calculation by
5Z
The best way to get a good wind calculation while flying "straight",
such as on a final glide, descending through wind gradients and
shears, I do the following per conversation with Dave Ellis a few
years ago:
1. Turn 45 degrees off course and fly straight for 10-15 seconds.
2. Turn 90 degrees in...

Quick mental math for the cockpit by

One minute of LATITUDE is approximately a nautical mile. Use your

Triple the distance for 20:1

Yet another potential source of lift?
