RIP Matt Wright (Balleka on YouTube) by
Stephan van den Berg
Dreadful news coming from the UK today. Matt Wright (Balleka on YouTube) was tragically killed in a mid-air whilst flying his glider this weekend. I believe he collided with a power plane.
I'm sure we have all watched some of Matt's videos on YouTube over and over. He will be sorely missed.
RIP...

SN10 Question by
JulietUniform
After performing a leak check on my TE system, my SN10 now sounds a continuous tone after power up. (On the ground, haven’t tried in the air) It is not in speed to fly mode but is in vario mode. Prior to this it was always “silent” after start up. Have I possibly damaged an internal sensor...

Parowan midair? by
Andy[_1_]
SSA contest report indicates that 2 gliders made contact on the first
day. If the gliders are identified correctly then one continued to
win the day and the other returned to the airport missing part of one
wing and so far has no log posted.
Any more information available?
Andy.

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.

Why so expensive (flight recorders) by
Jim Beckman
A simple (EW Microrecorder) is under $800. In todays
money, an extra $20 for a badge flight is less than
the round of beers you buy. 40 badge flights and you
can buy a second one. Pretty soon, you hold a club
meeting to decide what to buy next once there are
enough
recorders.
Again...

gliders in movies by

Has anyone compiled a list of movies in which gliders appear? I tried
googling, and it turned up some of the obvious names, such as _The
Thomas Crown Affair_ and _The Boy Who Flew With Condors_, but nothing
like a comprehensive listing.

Cambridge 302 and GPS-NAV owners – IMPORTANT NEWS
Unfortunately, there has been a rash of Cambridge Model 10/20/25 and

new SSA web site by

The "new web site" is live, and it is very slow to load, and I can't

And when I tried to login it made me spend much time training Google's

And then it rejected my password. (I...

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...

GPS stopping on Android recorders by
Alan Walls
Hi All,
Recently I had a couple of people ask about position outages on IGCDroid cell phone recordings. I thought I would share what is happening as this is likely relevant to other pilots and other Android cell phone GPS apps.
Note: As is often true with Android, not all phone behave the same...
