I stopped by Minden yesterday with a list of things to do to get my soaring season started and had the pleasure of stumbling into the resurrected Minden wave camp - now hosted by Soaring NV. I have to say it was one of the better organized and prepared soaring events I've attended in some time....

Hi all the potential contestants, We're sprucing up the gliderport to have it ship shape for the contest this summer. I'm going to be flying in the 1-26 Championships in May to get all the contest blood out of my system before I settle down to manage the Nats. Please consider flying around the...

Derek Sear went to prison in July 2009 for child abuse. I now believe he is a car park attendant at at university in Dunstable

As a low-time SEL private pilot with interest in soaring and obtaining a glider rating, I often follow the news of soaring competitions on the SSA website, Facebook, rec.aviation.soaring, the FAI site, and others. Some competitions have been very communicative with status updates multiple times per...

I headed to Seminole Lake Gliderport this afternoon to catch the Seniors landing from their practice day, about an hour from home. I was amazed at how quickly folks were able to land and clear the runway for the next inbound plane. At times I would look up and see six or more folks preparing to...

There are a couple of Pegasus 101A gliders on wings and wheels want ads with around 500 hours of flight time for $20k. How significant is the 3000 hour life limit when the glider only has 500 hours (claimed)? Seems like a good deal but what am I missing?

I bought a hangar a while back that has a wood glider project. Fuselage, stab and fin seem pretty much assembled. One wing is a skeleton and there is an assortment of pieces. I have NO PAPERWORK OF ANY KIND except for one badly faded construction drawing on which I was able to make out a model...

Hello, I am selling a S80 club brand new. I bought the S80 by mistake. I do not need the S80 as it does not fit in the dash of my new glider. I never installed the instrument, it is still in the box with all the connectors. When I ordered the S80, I took the cable for the Oudie which is in...

Anyone know - what's going on at Dansville. Looks like no contest days for the last three days?

Not sure what's a fitting NG for this. Being a newbie to the aircraft related scene I've got to ask this: why we are not seeing any asymmetrical designs in dual engine jets. Say you have a low bypass turbofan for takeoff (and redundancy) and a high bypass turbofan for soaking in the marine...

More trailer-talk.... I have a Minden-Fab / Scheder-style trailer and tow with a 200hp V6 station wagon. The front "barndoor" of the trailer is about 1.5 to 2 feet higher than the roofline of the car. The whole setup feels draggy on the road. 65 mph is about the limit before I feel like I am...
