Sharing a thermal by
Hal
Still learning to benefit from thermalling with another glider and so

Nearest near-miss? by
[email protected]
The Transponder chatter on other threads got me to thinking about who’s got the closest near-miss? Thought I’d kick it off with my incident over 40 years ago. I was flying my homebuilt wooden sailplane over Mono Lake, Ca. Cursing south at 16000’ and 60 knots when I spotted a 4 engine jet...

Hi !
The european regulation precise that "gliders with a structural mass

If anyone has replaced theirs with a US made strut I would also...
