Glider inspection - Tampa Florida area by
John[_27_]
I will be leaving in the next day to do a cross-country (Oregon-
Florida-Oregon) pickup of a glider I plan on purchasing. It is in

way out back home. If you have a mechanic you would refer (preferably
familiar with...

Does anyone use the Club Class? by
Pat Russell[_2_]
Does any country run competitions in the IGC Club Class?
USA does not. We have the Sports Class, which allows any glider to
enter, and another Sports Class (called, locally, the Club Class)
which uses a restricted list of gliders that is different from the IGC
Club Class list.
In another thread,...

International Shipping (trailer axle) by
T8
Trying to figure out a semi-economical way to get a Knott axle from
Germany to NE USA. Convenient, fast, very expensive way has already
been identified :-). No containers carrying gliders or trailers are
known to be coming in next several months, so I think that option is

SSA Convention ideas by
bildan
I agree with the sentiment that every two years is too long.
How about choosing a location near the middle of the country to host
the convention for at least three years running? I'm told by experts
on the subject booking three years running opens the possibility of
big discounts for the floor...

How about get a decent weather forecast before you go flying and don't
even think about trying to fly in this kind of weather?

Has anybody used Clouddancer weatherproof glider covers?

I'm especially interested in comments about weatherproofing and
durability.

reverse the last thing you did. by
mart
I had an interesting talk in Narromine last week with a local
instructor about my LS6. I bought it because I thought it to have few
vices.
He knew one.One that almost killed him.
Coming back after a racing task he selected +10 flaps, plenty enough
to land with, especially when it's a bit...
