Ok, it's a joke, but if you could get for free any of these gliders, which one would you choose and why? JS1-18m JS1-21m JS3-15m JS3-18m Thank you :)

If I Were Mayor of Saskatoon - Part One - By D.S. Kabatoff April 5 2020 3:59 pm 35,356 words “The very concept of a nation founded by European settlers is offensive to me. Old stock White Canadians are an unpleasant relic, and quite frankly, replaceable. And we will replace them." –Canadian...

Three years ago when I got back into soaring I talked to serveral riggers about a round vs square chute. The riggers, including Allen Silver, all talked me out of a square for safety reasons. If you are seriously considering a square rig, I highly recommend you speak with a qualified rigger and...

Hi all, I have a PW-5 that requires side pressure on the stick at all times to correct a tendency to bank to the right. More pronounced at higher speeds, of course. Wing tape helps a little but doesn't eliminate it. But there is a visible tiny difference in aileron position from one side to the...

Any CFIG's within a days drive of Buffalo, NY willing to give a ground launch endorsement. I've found an airport that will let me auto- launch of their 5600 ft runway. This seems to be preferable to 2.5+ hr drives to reasonable glider clubs. TIA 2C

Well, It's been about 1 year asked about where to learn to fly gliders in Central FL on this newsgroup. Several of you directed me to Seminole Lake Gliderport, and my mom purchased an intro flight for me for my 37th birthday 6/21/2008. I did my 1st flight (my intro) on Dec 12 2008, and today,...

Hallo, I'm working on my panel redesign. It's a "long distance project" with me on one continent and the glider on another... Would someone with a "winter access" to his glider take some measurements for me? - what is the exterior dimension of Ilec engine controller? I know it is 57mm hole but...

In a recent thread it was asserted that it was possible to get sport pilot airplane privileges without taking a knowledge test and flight test if the pilot held a private glider rating. For some reason I cannot see that thread. I had doubts that this was true and followed up with AOPA. The text...

Fellow soarists, I did not make myself clear. My apologies. The production company is not making a slasher flick. It is trying to find EXPEDITIONS with an element of danger that might include a survival segment. In soaring, we have plenty of possible danger. These guys are seeking expeditions....

I drove by the Olancha strip last week and found that it is in even worse condition than the last time I saw it. Brush is starting to get sizable on the "cleared" landing area. The strip was already marginal even for 15M but the brush encroaching on the open area almost guarantees a ground loop. If...

Hi, I'm planning a trip to Canada for may and/or june this year. I plan to visit roughly the region west and North of Edmonton, say between Yellowknife and Vancouver :-) Does anyone know if there are any soaring operations that would give me an opportunity to fly there? Is there a thing like a map...
