Hi, I am moving to Northern Virginia and am having trouble tracking down storage space that would fit a glider and be a reasonable cost. Any ideas? Doesn't have to be with a club but that would be ideal. Thanks for the help, Chris

I am located in eastern PA. Must be well maintained.

Copies of Wally Scott's Marfa Report are still available. If you plan to fly at Marfa with Dick Johnson or Burt Compton, then this is a must read. In 1972 Wally Scott published this report on what to expect in the Marfa region of SW Texas. It's 10 pages of text with a chart showing areas...

Hello all, I am looking for some info on the ASC Falcon sailplane in terms of the following: overall design, structural, build quality/issues, serviceability/maintenance/upkeep, general qualities ( ie: ergonomics etc...), performance, handling (feel, coordination, balance, grip, groove, accel),...

I've sold my old glider and now I'm in the market for a new one. This time I'm going the single-place route. There seems to be a sweet spot in the price/performance curve when looking at the older open class gliders like the Open Cirrus, Jantar 2 (A or B), LAK 12 etc... I haven't ruled out 15...

I use an Udo rigger and can put my Ventus B together solo-typically 20 to= 30 minutes from trailer open to finished taping and control check. Howe= ver I have been unable to get the first wing out by myself when putting t= he ship away. Without someone on the tip to oscillate the wing, I...

Hi, My first post to r.a.s. so go easy. :) I've been looking through the Manual (about 15 pages) and cannot find anything on the moment arms of the seats to use to determine the W&B. The Manual has an envelope diagram, but how do I do the calculations without the arms? Thanks,

The advertisement for CFIG's recently posted, and the discussion it spawned, made me realize something. I have yet to see a soaring club that had enough CFIG's. I'm sure they're out there, but I bet they're not the norm. Some have waiting lists to join if you lack a glider rating. Some have...

WTH IMEDIATE EFFECTIVENESS THE GERMAN AUTHORITIES HAVE SUSPENDED THE AIRWORTHINESS OF THE DUO DISCUS (T) ALL DUO'S ARE GROUNDED DUE TO A WING FAILURE IN FLIGHT (BOTH PILOTS BAILED OUT AND LANDED SAFELY WITH THERE CHUTE.) MORE DETAILS LOOK AT: www.lba.de/dokumente/ad/lta-dt/2003-245-d.pdf

As a relatively new pilot I want to ask a question about airspace. In Southern California we have a lot of class C airspace. The ceiling is generally 4000 ft. AGL for class C, right. Someone mentioned to me that to legally fly over class C you must have a transponder. If not, you must be at...

Congratulations to Derek Piggott for his flight on 15th Aug in the Club Class Nationals at Lasham. 504km in a Russia Me7 all 12.6m of it in 7hrs 14 min. He was 80 last year and still puts the rest of us to shame with his energy and enthusiasm for gliding. He disproves the theory about old and bold...

I just got one of these antique varios from New Zealand, no less! Don't worry, I got an excellent price ;) It looks like there are only four connections to hook up. "A" is probably ram air. "S" is probably static. Then there are two power wires, unmarked (uh oh). The tape on the wires says...

Dick Johnson found that the LS3a he tested, had a higher sink rate over the whole polar, relative to the LS3. He found the 'a' version to have a 6mm thicker airfoil. Was this just a specific aircraft difference, or are all LS3a's systematically inferior to the LS3's?

DOS error 5 is a read only file error, have you checked the file attributes ? Failing that there are two Cambridge progs you might run,can't remember in which order you do it SYSINIT.EXE REBUILD.EXE or

Although the actual soaring season should prevent you from sitting in front of your computer...: Please be informed that there is a new, free update available for the soaring simulator SFSPC. There are significant improvements, especially if running in OpenGL mode, and a new glider field. The...

Whoops! I missed Note 1 in the SI - make sure the engine has 1/2" valves, otherwise, the TBO is 1200. Most likely it does. Jim "MHende6388" wrote in message ... For the B2B3 engine is it 1500 hours or 2000 hours for major...
