How to buy a US registered glider by
Matt Herron Jr.
I am looking for some advice on the forms and process I need to go
through, to buy a glider registered in the US. From what I can tell,
I need a Bill of Sale (form 8050-2) and an Aircraft Registration
Application (form 8050-1). It appears that the latter form is only
available from the local FSDO...

Beginner questions about buying a sailplane... by
vic20owner
No, I am not planning to buy anything for at least a year ... but I
have often wondered what other "hidden" expenses or obstacles there
are associated with buying a used glider.
I regularly see older planes in the $10K USD range (which is well
within my price range). BUT, for future reference,...

Compass Correction Card by
glider[_2_]
Just for fun......
A long time ago, I was told that a compass correction card is
required.
I was also told it didn't have to be filled out.
That may not be a good idea.
No need to upset our FAA friends.

New trainer from SZD Bielsko by
[email protected]
SZD Bielsko is in the final phase of testing of "new" 2 seat glider
designed for initial and advanced training. It will be fully aerobatic
with 17.5 m wings and with 20 m wings it becomes pretty good x-c
sailplane with L/D of 41.8. The reason I am saying "new" with
quotation marks is that the...

Replacement for DAFIF Airspace Data by
2KA
All,
I've just embarked on a project to extract US (CONUS) airspace data
from the FAA National Airspace System Resource files and process it
into more accessible formats (such as OpenAir and Tim Newport-Peace).
This is a little more complicated than it sounds, because the NASR
uses ESRI shapefile...

Cross Country the main focus of soaring? by
mat Redsell
I have been very concerned about our club, which discourages cross country
in club gliders. My thought is that purpose of soaring is cross country and
if one just concentrates on flying above the airport then ones member ship
tends to end when you have your license.
We have many airports withing a...

Fuses in general by
Tuno
Okay, neither my flight manual nor maintenance manual say what kind of
fuses I should be using between the batteries and instruments. The
printing on one looks to be T500L250V, which I understand to mean 0.5
amps, slow-blow, 250 Volts. (It's 5x20mm.)
I know that to protect my wiring I need...

Flying with Parachutes by
John Huthmaker
I'm just starting out with soaring. Simple question for you guys. How many of you fly with an emergency parachute? It looks like they cost around $2000 online. Pretty steep price; although the cost is insignificant if it saves your life. Is this something I should be looking to purchase?

Soaring apps for iPhone by
kirk.stant
Just got one of these Apple gizmos and I'm curious what apps other
glider guiders are using. So far I've found some nice non-aviation
weather and mapping apps, so now I'm looking for a good NOTAM and
aviation wx brief app.
How about SPOT, XCskies, DrJack?

I wish I'd never got into this... by
Kevin Neave
The original question stated a glider doing 100kts
with/without 100kgs of ballast.
Ignoring the stalling speed for the moment, Does anyone
out there think the pull-up takes more than 4 or 5
seconds?
Does anyone out there think that the sink rate of the
unballasted glider at 100kts is more than...

Devices for avoiding VNE? by
John Galloway
Through the contributions to the avoiding VNE thread
runs the theme of the difficulty of avoiding overspeeding
and/or overstressing some modern designs in accidental
spin recovery. This is made more difficult than in
older composite gliders because they had a little more
drag and a little more...
