I set up a discussion group on Yahoo: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GPS_LOG Hopefully this will serve as forum for exchange of ideas and help, save me some time answering the same questions.... Group is unmoderated (I do not have time). Happy flying, Henryk Birecki

Hi there - I'm doing some work on extracting atmospheric information from the flight log of a well-instrumented glider, but there is one measurement that is baffling me - what is FPH a measure of? It is measured in degrees and ranges between 0 and 180 degrees over the whole flight. I initially...

Just-for-fun gliding encampments and safaris Has your local gliding community had a successful soaring safari or soaring encampment at an airport other than your home airport? And...did you have fun? Here in the north central states of the USA, we had several 2003 soaring encampments to explore...

Recent TRIVIA postings resurrected two old questions rattling around in the back of my mind. 1) Years ago, before I got into soaring, I saw or read a story on actor Christopher Reeves showing him standing next to "his" glider -- just one of his many hobbies. Shortly after his most...

Newbie here, I just committed to the purchase of my first glider, and now have a question that I probably should have asked last week. What paper-chase must be completed when buying a glider, and how do you get insurance coverage (particularly liability)? Regards, Henry Irvine (soon to be proud...
