Thermals in hell by 01-- Zero One
All of the recent posts about hell got me to thinking about the possible strength of thermals in hell. If hell is infinitely hot, even with the eventual melting and disintegration of the glider, would we not be able to climb fast enough to escape hell (another example of a 'low save').

Rejuvenating altimeter and airspeed faceplates by 01-- Zero One

2007 US Contest Rules by 01-- Zero One
Have they been published yet? All I can find are the 2006 ones. I know there are significant changes in the scoring formulae and have seen the proposed documents. Where and when are the actual rules going to be finalized? It is almost time for the first contest. Larry Goddard "zero one" USA

Kirk has properly pointed up the issue in trying to align 2 pin wings. I cannot tell you how many even experienced owners still try to install the pin nearest the helper first. Based on the geometry of the design, the helper has very little ability to control the alignment on that pin but can...
