I bought a hangar a while back that has a wood glider project. Fuselage, stab and fin seem pretty much assembled. One wing is a skeleton and there is an assortment of pieces. I have NO PAPERWORK OF ANY KIND except for one badly faded construction drawing on which I was able to make out a model...

As kids we watched in awe, the ag pilots flying under the power lines. Decided not to try it in a SGS 2-22 when we saw him then pull up steep to miss the tall fence on the other side of the road, do a wing-over, then repeat it in the opposite direction. Over-confidence can kill you even when you...

Hey guys, remember: Region 5 West at Chilhowee "split Regional" on Labor Day weekend Sept. 4, 5, 6, and then the following weekend Sept. 11 and 12. You can fly a whole Regional without needing to take days off from work !! We hope this Regional will become a yearly tradition in the Southeast, so...

Anyone have an electronic copy of an ASW-19/-19B POH that they are willing to forward. Thanks in advance. Jim

Imagine a club in a fairly wet (24" rain a year) temperate climate, which doesn't have a hangar. What gliders and tugs could they use, which would be able to survive living outside all year round? I'm thinking both two-seat trainers (Blaniks?) and single-seaters, and tugs that could operate off a...

Does anyone have experience with the new Apple MAC Book (pro) with Intel core 2 duo running soaring software like SeeYou in Windows XP? I would also like to know the compatibility of a MAC book (pro) with a USB-to-serial adapter to communicate with a GPS logger and flight computer. Anyone also...

Paul is one of the most dedicated vendors for soaring that you could find.

Are any of the major manufacturers looking into making next generation models for the standard class? is there even much room left for developement here? what could really be improved? fuselages and tails seem more or less set, and any tinkering with wing planform and angle of incidence involves...

This was posted on the Condor flight sim forums. I thought it was a rather well-done gliding video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eO6GJLDqnYY It is a compilation of a Swiss pilot's best video from the 2009 soaring season. Amazing landscape. Click the HD button and watch it full screen if your...
