iSoar - Mac native analysis and planning software by [email protected]
iSoar is a Mac OS program, not an iOS (iPhone) mobile app yet unfortunately. There are other options for iOS such as SeeYou, etc for flight review (I believe).

Nice article by smithcorp
I don't think I'm alone here in monitoring press articles about gliding - I like to identify the elements that make the story 'work' (in particular the ones that capture the things i enjoy about gliding). This one's a good one I reckon. Low on the fear/challenge factor and high on the accurate...

Death of Peter Lanyon in 1964 by smithcorp
Saw an article on the British artist Peter Lanyon, who was a glider pilot from 1959 to 1964 and who died from the effects of a glider crash in Devon on 27 August 1964 (he died three days later). His art was strongly influenced by gliding. I'd like to get more details on the circumstances of his...

No updated calendar for 2009 and it's almost the end of January. I emailed the site via the contact link but no reply. A pity, because it really brightened my day. Does anyone know of any good alternatives? smith

Cloud type pictures by smithcorp
G'day all, With this group's previous advice, I bought some books on weather for soaring (my copy of Wallington sadly went astray in the post), including Pagen. This last is a good book and I found it very useful, but in my copy, the black and white photos of cloud examples had such poor contrast...

Hi All, Can onyone tell me if the skins on the forward fuselage of an IS-28 are flat wrapped or compound curved (i.e. stretch formed). In other words would it be easy to rebuild the forward fuselage using sheet stock or would it be necessary to buy the preformed skins. Thanks,
