sunlight readable iphone by [email protected]
Does anyone have any data on whether the iPhone X OLED screen will be more sunlight readable than previous iPhones? The brightness spec looks the same (625cd/m2), but I see no data on the screen reflectance.

How dangerous is soaring? by [email protected]
When I started soaring on mid 80's, everybody said that soaring is the safest aviation sport, almost safer than most 'real' sports. You can't brake your leg while flying :) Only when you hit the ground :D Though on a first year 4 pilots that I knew got killed with glider. Not a good start. And...

Cheap sailplanes by tango4
The 'which glider should we make cheaply' , 'glider classes' and some of the traditional 'winter threads' seem to be based on the premise that if we could build a 40:1 sailplane for some nominal amount then the steady decline in worldwide sailplane pilot numbers can be stemmed. I am yet to be...
