Looking for a set of 16.6m tips for a ventus B. (No I haven't lost them) :-) Thanks Chris

I was prepared for the insurance, the hangar rent for the trailer, the new relief system, etc. I must admit that I was not prepared for the new solid surface counter tops, the new diswasher, the new stove, and the new flooring. Why didn't you all warn of the reciprocal spending by my spouse...

I'm looking at a parachute for a glider. Would like to use it for other flying, as well, if it is suitable. INo clue of the advantages/ disadvantages of any of them. Suggestions?

I know there have posts regarding the OLC. Perhaps I missed this topic. Anyone know how to navigate the new OLC? All I can get is OLC Worldwide, I can't seem to make it display just North America. Any tricks? Also seem to have a lot of trouble with the calendar. I have to go back and forward to...

http://www.xcbrasil.com.br/flight/115498 IMHO the SSA should be putting more effort into "headhunting" these guys into our sport. They know how to fly, they know weather, they want to go soaring and XC. At Nephi during the OLC event this year Bruno got all the 750 km + pilots up for a photo, I...

Sounds like some of you do 'low tow' position with a CG hook. I've done the 'low tow' only with nose hooks (Schweizer 2-33, 1-26, and Blanik L-13) and wondered what happens when flying a ship with a CG hook. What happens? Can the tow rope scratch the bottom of the ship? Can the upward pull on...

Anyone ever purchase a used glider with an experimental certificate,say for example, an ASW 19b, and change to a standard certificate? I understand that some gliders were imported and flown as experimental such as jantars, due to govermental restrictions on reciprocal airworthiness...

For a little gas on the fire...I'm curious. Besides the P-124 Aviator by Rigging Innovations: http://www.rigginginnovations.com/products/aviator.htm or having Softie put a ram air in one of their harnesses, what other square emergency rigs are out there as options and which do you 'squares'...

Seminole Lake Gliderport had another accident. From what the pictures look like, the left wing of their Blanik L-23 was demolished from mid wing where it bent the leading edge all the way back to the spar. Not sure what to make of this, if it will be covered up, or will there be an NTSB report. ...
