Please help. I need to find a centerspread from Soaring magazine, late 1971 - early 1972 featuring pictures of David Kilbourne soaring his Rogallo hang glider at Mission Hills. I need a high resolution scan. I'd also like to get any Soaring Magazines from 1971-1972 with any pictures/articles...

Use your powers for good. Al and Ramy, anybody, could you use your fancy software to look at my traces? You will see me bust 18 once in while but that is because I use a Garmin consumer product. I never go above 17,500 ‘cause I know the thing is a piece of $%^@ but it still happens once in while....

The Soaring Safety Foundation (SSF) will cooperate with your gliding organization to present a gliding safety seminar to pilots in your city. The SSF will provide an instructor to present four to six hours' worth of presentations to help you and your fellow pilots identify and reduce risk factors...

http://www.ntsb.gov/NTSB/brief.asp?ev_id=20060906X01297&key=2 For you amateur FAR lawyers to chew on: "The glider was equipped with a panel mounted communication radio, global positioning system (GPS) unit, and a transponder; however, the pilot did not turn on the GPS and transponder. The...

*Does your glider operation use a weak link at the tow plane end of the rope, as required by 91.309 a (3) ii? Jack ---* § 91.309 Towing: Gliders and unpowered ultralight vehicles.

The most recent note to members from the board answers some questions but raises many more. there seem to be two operative theories being investigated: 1. incompetence then panic resulted in the cfo and the ED knowingly conspiring to withhold information and to actually present false reports....

Does anyone have the contest calendar for 2007? It's not available on the SSA web site. I saw where someone said the 2007 standards would be in Hobbs? How do we know that?

So... If the SSA doesn't survive this debacle, what then? Will we just reorganize it, or will we come up with a new organization altogether? My opinion is that the SSA's a great thing, that has accomplished much in it's long history. I am personally not ready to throw the baby out with the...

Most of you may have seen this before but take a look... http://www.wikihow.com/Overlay-Sectional-Aeronautical-Charts-in-Google-Earth Larry Goddard "01" zero one USA

I was sent a link to a gadget some college engineers-in-the-making built. http://engenius.sece.rmit.edu.au/Abstracts/Page601.htm. It tries to detect which way a thermal is based on temperature differences between wing tips. Bright boys. I have two questions; 1) Have there been other gadgets...

There is no question about it, the news is not good. The idea of a CFO as an internal check on the ED made sense to prevent a reoccurance of the problems that led to the departure of the previous ED. Unfortunately (with the benefit of hind sight) it allowed the opportunity for a bigger problem. So...

A few changes to GPS Visualizer lately which are worth announcing: * Google Maps: a lot of changes here, although a few are under the hood where most people won't notice them. The most notable is the ability to have GPS Visualizer automatically generate a list of waypoints and display it...

Did I read, or did I imagine it, that here in the US when a glider is being towed, the tow pilot is the Pilot In Command of that combination and as such, is the final authority of that flight? Are there any FARs to support my curiosity? Thanks, Bob
