Tasks have been set for Day 11 at the Uvalde contest. All seem to be AAT's; with the Open Class up to 744km! The official website seems to have Day 3 tasks posted, but see http://www.soaringspot.com/wgc20112/results/open/task/day11.html

Long AAT tasks assigned; all gates open, but so far no takers (2pm cst). I think there was concern about a seabreeze front coming in, but satellite looks like some nice cus and poss cu-streets developing everywhere, perhaps until late evening. The official WGC website has all but been abandoned....

From Uvalde LiveATC: 15 meter cancelled dut to mid-air. Open and 18 meter class still underway and not cancelled.

Our club Grob 103 Twin III canopy lock/unlock mechanism (front seat) failed on the ground when someone tried to open it. Upon close inspection, one of the 2 hidden bolts closest to the handle had gradually been cut through by the lever action to the breaking point. Though we found a way to replace...

Perlan II glider moves to Argentina for September altitude-record attempts. Great that the project sponsorship was picked up by Airbus (where was...

Oooops.......severe hangar rash has resulted in a crushed elevator on our Grob 103 Twin III. A repair is being considered, but it will be both costly and lengthy. Anyone know of an elevator that might be for sale? .....even a minimally-damaged one? Thanks, Michael San Antonio

As of 9:30am cst, Perlan II on tow. Virtual cockpit: http://perlanproject.cloud/VirtualCockpit.html Michael

I'm planning on purchasing a new or used parachute to replace mine that does not fit the contours of my ship. My question pertains to the accepted longevity of emergency parachutes which I've often heard is about 20 years. Because mine is 27 years old, I was just about to toss my Security 250 in...
