Sport Pilot and Glider Questions by
Ralph Steiner
I hope to get both the Sport Pilot and Private Glider certificates.
Which order would be best to get them in - would Sport Pilot be better to
get first or last?
I am especially interested in a motorglider called the Virus (what an
unfortunate choice of name!). Does a glider certificate let you...

First Glider - No Gelcoat by
Waduino
Yes I've read lots of posts about buying a first glider. My heart is set on
an LS-4 since I'd like to stay in the roughly $30K US price range with a
decent panel and trailer.
BUT, what if I just don't want gelcoat because sooner or later it will have
to be refinished and that doesn't make any...

Ultimate soaring challenges or adventures by
nimbusgb
I am looking to compile a list of 'The Ultimate Soaring Adventures'.
I'd
appreciate any input from the forum on what they see as the pinnacle
of
soaring whether it is a 1000km task, flying New Zealands wave or some
other goal that may be beyond the day-to-day pilots reach.
I'll put up a list on a...

PowerFlarm and transponders while towing? by
bumper[_4_]
While aero-towing a Mode-C transponder equipped glider, and using
PowerFlarm and transponder in the tow plane, most of the time the
glider will show up on the PF as a threat aircraft. Since the PF
prioritizes threats, this precludes another more distant "intruder"
aircraft as being displayed as a...

Recently I have been trying to use the Simple Glide Calculator (SGC)
page to do side calculations during competitions (I used to do this

all - tried to...

Anybody running a Butterfly Vario with XCSoar? by
jfitch
Got a question: the Butterfly wind vector and the XCSoar wind vector (derived from Butterfly information) seem to disagree by 180 degrees. That is they point toward each other. XCSoar seems to believe it too, based on glide calculations. I am using the LX format output on the Butterfly. I am...

Armchair CD U.S. Sports Class Nats by

From looking at the sports class nationals scores, And seeing that
their have been only THREE landouts in four days of a 42 glider
NATIONALS, I'm thinking CD McQuigg is not pushing his troops hard
enough at this huge contest. I have heard that he is an ultra-
conservative CD, which is fine for a...

I was a new guy in soaring about 7 years ago and as
I was working on
