We are currently working on a project to build a linear hangar to house 12 gliders in two rows, with full access from both the long sides so that any single glider can be extracted without moving any other glider.

Got a question for all you radioheads out there. I am installing a Becker Xnder and I notice my other glider has a 8"x8" or so grounding plane attached (glue?) on the inside where the antenna is mounted. Question??? I need ground plane information such as size, thickness, installation tips, do's...

I've managed to lose track of the US national sport class trophy and could use some assistance locating it. Last known position was at the 2013 sport national contest at Mifflin. The winner was John Seymour, but he did not take it home, and a search of the airport turned up nothing. It should...

In Topeka Kansas, the SCCA is running the Runoffs. This is THE big race of the year if you are an SCCA Club Racer. It's also the last race for a small,underfunded, old and slow team. My race mentor and good friend Charlie Kuhlmann, 75, is hanging it up after 686 National events, 27 runoff...

I've personally had two near misses with this scenario and I have seen two more just in the last 5 years. We need to make clear that if the tuggie wants to abort on the runway, he should maintain speed and continue to the end doing whatever neccessary to get out of the glider's...

Was looking at some old Soaring magazines the other day, and I noticed a number of badges earned from Great Barrington in the 1980s and into th e1990s. So, I'm assuming there was some sort of regular operation there for a while. Any ideas what happened to this operation?

I guess it's a one in a million chance to see what it is a photo of. Ken

Just had to say something. Last monday I mailed the paperwork for a Silver Altitude and a Diamond Goal/Gold Distance claim. I emailed the .igc files to Rollin. Today both came back approved. Fantastic turn around time and great service from the new badge dude.

The speeds today were phenomenal (111 mph, 179 kph) over a course that was 450 miles (725 km). Top eight finishers over 100 mph. Last two days have been great, looks like a rest day tomorrow. TT

Hello Group! I have flown gliders in Sweden for some ten years, and vonder what the units are for forward motion (in Sweden ) and vertical velocity (in Sweden ). I am asking this since I am writing a small program to be used on HP-calculators. The program will be kind of a "pocket-simulator"...
