M-NAV Display (Small) Available- Fits L-NAV as Well? by
[email protected]
I have an uninstalled and near new 2.25" (small) M-NAV vario display
available to trade for a large one (3.125"). The small version is
usually the sought after one. When you fly old or weird gliders like I
do, there's often an abundance of panel space so I can use the bigger
one.
I believe that...

OLC contributions- Instructions by
joesimmers
I have tried to go to the OLC website to make a contribution, the
webpage does not make it very clear as to how it is done.
Could someone who has successfully done this please post some brief
instructions on how to do so.
I think the OLC would get many more donations if they would add a
"donate"...

Very interesting new wearable HD camera by
[email protected]
This new camera was recently announced. For those interested in making
video recording of their flight from either inside or outside the
cockpit, this might be the perfect option. Certainly worth checking
out.
The only bad news is that it will probably take some time to get your
hands on...

Google Earth viewer by
Fred Blair
I can't find it now, but there was an add in for Google Earth on here last
month that would replay an IGC file; it was so real to watch the tow from
our gliderport, just like a regular video.
Does anyone have the link?
Thanks,
Fred

Tehachapi, Cal City, Rosemond by
Uncle Fuzzy
I have reason to be at Edwards AFB on Monday, and nothing pressing
over the weekend. I think I absolutely must take advantage of the
situation to fly from one of the many glider ports in the area. I've
flown (once) from Crystalair, been to Mountain Valley airport at
Tehachapi, but never Cal City...

2 new soaring HD videos testing tail cam by
Bruno
Check out a few new soaring videos I made flying in northern Utah and
southern Idaho testing out a couple of new small HD video cameras and
camera mounts on my ASW20. In the newest video you will see that I
was able to better stabilize the tail cam for virtually no camera
shake compared to the...

Has anyone had any issues with the battery life on an EW
Microrecorder? We have one for club use and it lived most of the
winter not being charged. The first real use of the spring and the

Questions To Ask Sailplane Seller by
ContestID67[_2_]
There have been lots of comments and threads in RAS about "what I want
for a new glider for a newbie". The answers are usually around "get
automatic hookups" or "get glass" or "the wings are heavy" or “buy a
name a ship”. All this is good and valuable but there is another
set of questions to...

Day 1 practice Club Class Regionals USA by

I'm posting this report in the mid afternoon from the cool,
airconditioned motel room in Cordele because no task was called due to
the weather forecast. According to our forecaster, and also from
numerous forecasts from around the area, we should probably be seeing
thundershowers all around. Let...

Negotiations by
RRK
I'm sure I'm not the only X-country sailor who negotiate the lift
deals with the God. You know. You get low, nothing is working, landing
options are limited and there....a little too far away... you see the
very last chance. You have to ask The Almighty for a little help and
have to promise Him...
