Nimbus 2 flaps settings by
John Orton
I am participating in the rebuild/repair of an early Nimbus 2. The serial
number is in the range 40 to 50. It is definitely a Nimbus 2 not Nimbus 2a.
The fligth manual that we have does not give details of the flap deflection
at the intermediate settings only the full deflections. The data sheets...

GP finishes by
bagmaker
After reading an article in Kiwi Gliding by Ben Flewett regarding the CAA and their ruling on finish heights, the whole "gladiators of the sky" DVD has to be looked at again, with a different understanding of the rules, and how NOT to break them!
Would Mr Flewett please ( I know he is a RAS poster)...

Sports Class Nats Day 5 Underway by
Susan
Hi all,
My sources have told me that today's task at Mifflin is a 4 hour TAT:
Bloomsburg, Nisbet Bridge, Mifflintown, Tall Pines, all with 15 mile

but with an immature golden eagle circling overhead, pilots were
optimistic about...

BB
Mifflin day 3.
It was another beautiful, and of course very interesting, day at the
sports class nationals. We grid early, on the fear of strong
crosswinds. They don't materialize, so we launch into ridge lift at
11:30. The sky is overcast, but is forecast to break up and maybe even
go blue by the...
