What file formats are supported. I've been able to figure out a few by trial and error but wonder which ones work best. I entered .cup format waypoints which show up on the map but they do not have any labels.

In our discussions here on whether or not too add Club Class to the list of competitions held in the U.S., the main sticking point seems to be the effect on adding a burden to place yet another contest at dwindling contest sites. This should be a real concern for all classes, not just if we add...

As a glider pilot, when are you allowed to use a zero altimeter setting? Back in July, I asked the FAA for a legal opinion regarding FAR 91.121. Yesterday, I finally received a response. There is reason for a continued dialog, and I am continuing the discussion with the FAA legal...

At around 12:54 today, Thomas Johnson (V12 - MiniNumbus) was injured in a takeoff groundloop accident. He was airlifted to an Orlando hospital, where he'll be met by his wife. Emergency medical personnel were pleased with his vital signs and cautiously optimistic about his prospects for...

http://www.xcbrasil.com.br/flight/115498 IMHO the SSA should be putting more effort into "headhunting" these guys into our sport. They know how to fly, they know weather, they want to go soaring and XC. At Nephi during the OLC event this year Bruno got all the 750 km + pilots up for a photo, I...

Folks, I'm doing an informal survey. How many of you are members of a club that still has a 1-26 in your club fleet?

Hi fellows, I am eagerly looking for a Janus C (20m) polar, including flap settings. Unfortunately the polar is not included in the Schempp Hirth documents. What I found is this Excel spreadsheet with various polar datae: . But it seems like a Janus B as its L/D is 38. I think the Janus C (20m)...

Yes I know they’re problematic. Just returned our PA 25-235 from its annual, where one of ours was rebuilt (locked solid) and both serviced. Like I assume many of yours are, our Pawnee has no hopper and will never see gross weight again. So should the air side of the struts still be 575psi per...

I caught the last few seconds of a report from a C. Springs TV station last night. So stunned to actually see gliders on TV I didn't catch the full gist of the story. Here's the Gazette's http://www.gazette.com/display.php?sid=899540 Makes me wonder why club owned Blaniks aren't falling out of...

Just finished a panel upgrade on a Normal category (Not Experimental). One change made was to use PowerFlarm for GPS logging and glide computer. My master switch is a 3 position switch (Bat 1, Off, Batt 2). My old Volkslogger had no problem with swtching batteries as long as I flipped the switch...

Hello all! I am trying to gather information on replacement options for my club's aging Grobs. So far I have reached out to SZD for the SZD-54-2 (probably not a factor with no US certification or dealer), the HpH Twin Shark, Shempp-Hirth Duo Discus XL, Schleicher for the ASK-21B and DG for the...

I am looking for a source for a replacement bottle jack for a cobra trailer ramp (yes, I know I should switch to the mechanical jack and all problems will go away, but I don't want to go down that route yet). The Torin 2-ton jack that Walmart and Autozone sell is extremely poorly built, in addition...

I see gliders tied down in a bewildering variety of ways, all apparently "adequate" in the owner's mind. AT one extreme I see multiple ropes, straps, wing stands, and load spreaders, while at the other extreme it's just a piece of light rope (barely more than clothesline) on each wing tip. Two...

What are your favorite aircraft types (and modifications) for glider towing in high density altitude and/or short runways?

I hear as from the 1st October all gliders in the UK will have to be registered with the CAA and placed on the normal UK aircraft register carrying the allocated G- marks. At present the BGA has always overseen this. What difference will these changes have, besides of course costing us all more...

From the New Zealand newswire / Breaking News: Delore flies 2190km, breaks record 07 December 2004 Christchurch gliding ace Terry Delore and American multi-millionaire adventurer Steve Fossett have broken the world outright straight-line soaring distance record with an epic flight of 15 hours...

Hi guys I'm looking for a motorglider for a friend. He wants something like an SF25C with the L:imbach 1700EA or an SF28 Tandem Falke. We're quite prepared to look at something that needs some repair work. Thanks
