The decline of gliding - a worldwide issue? by
Douglas Richardson
Good morning,
My name is Douglas and I am a glider pilot here in the UK.
I would like to start a friendly discussion about the decline of gliding and whether this is an issue outside of the UK.

"foul" or was it"fool" any time one would suggest that winching could be

Dittel ATR 720 by
John C

manufacturer (Avionic Dittel - not Walter Dittel) is out of business
and Tim at W&W does not happen to have one.
Thanks,
John

Glider Batteries and Chargers by
Grider Pirate
VSLA? A123? Cycling chargers?? I think this subject should have it's
own thread. Unlike transponders, we almost all need them.
