New thread, pulled out of the Houston club one. I've posed the question about supporting APRS tracking on glideport.aero. It's currently not supported. Most 2m APRS are set for three minute intervals: Lat/Lon, Altitude, Direction and Speed. Also deleted my (yes, primitive) SPOT tracker from...

End of the season sale on gap tape. $40 for 40 rolls post paid in the US. This tape is not as good as the $10 a roll tape, but is suitable for day use. If you assemble and disassemble daily, it works fairly well.

Sorry. I can't contain my frustrations any longer. Caesar Creek Soaring Club was awarded the 2015 Sports Class Nationals over a year ago with the dates set for June 22 through 3 July. Now the SSA is patting themselves on the back by scheduling the 2015 18M, Open, and Club Class Nationals at Hobbs,...

This glider went through a fence. Both wings have cuts through the leading and trailing edges from fence posts. Possible damage to...

http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2014/20140930_hrrr.html Walt Rogers has written about using this model in a few posts. I have used the beta version with reasonable success, specifically the mid and high level cloud predictions. I would like to see better explanations of the fields and to...

I am hoping for a shot or 2 next month to attempt a 1000k badge flight. I realize that the turnpoint or turnpoints need to be an FAI 90 degree sector. What about start and finish, I plan to use the gliderport for my start and finish, does this also require the 90 degree sector or is a line...

Anyone out there got any pictures, diagrams or a good description of the linkage that closes and opens the gear doors and its attachment points on the doors and main wheel strut? The doors on the one in my club were broken long ago (we are on a fairly rough grass field) and never refitted. I'm now...

Could anyone explain why 2 years in a row we have 18 m Nationals on the west coast? This year Minden and next year Hobbs. As far as I remember Bermuda High was willing to host the 18m Nationals in 2015. This arrangement is totally unfair to East Coast pilots. Does that mean 2016 and 2017 are going...

On Saturday, September 20, the Albuquerque Soaring Club, flying from Moriarty, NM was in the lead with about 1,200 points over second place, the Soaring Club of Houston. However, over the weekend and the last Monday of the OLC, the Houston pilots...

Looking at a new set of Gadringer belts. Is single adjustable or double adjustable the preferred option? This is for my ASW 19. It looks like the double adjustable give a little extra length. Any downsides from anyone that has double adjustable belts? Thanks, Nick

Is my computer busted again? No postings on OLC for Region 11 since September 28?
