For those who haven't yet seen it, we have released our end of season video. Just a bunch of junior pilots from the UK having fun, including flying the World Championships in Poland. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ1jnQtCMiM Cheers

Why is it that the JS-1C seem to be the open class ship? One would think the 3 choices of wing span for the EB-29 and the extra wing span would make this the best hands down open ship. I noticed that the JS-1C-18 is equal to the ASG-29-18. One would think the ASH-31 with the same outer tips as...

So I've got my new PowerFlarm brick installed and I'd guess that it was losing the other PowerFlarm in the area when the distance between us was between 2 to 2.5 miles. Obviously this is good for collision avoidance, but I was kind of hoping for more range. The other pilot reported similar range....

Well, It's been about 1 year asked about where to learn to fly gliders in Central FL on this newsgroup. Several of you directed me to Seminole Lake Gliderport, and my mom purchased an intro flight for me for my 37th birthday 6/21/2008. I did my 1st flight (my intro) on Dec 12 2008, and today,...

I drove by the Olancha strip last week and found that it is in even worse condition than the last time I saw it. Brush is starting to get sizable on the "cleared" landing area. The strip was already marginal even for 15M but the brush encroaching on the open area almost guarantees a ground loop. If...

Has anyone installed a tail vent in a DG-300? Ventilation is weak from the nose vent (especially since canopy sealed) and it appears air doesn't have a path out the tail boom. Bulkhead behind pilot has adequate vent holes into the boom. However, there is a bulkhead at the fin-boom junction, so it...

Pilots on the US competition ranking list will (or have) be receiving a request for donations to the SRA. The return address envelope was supposed to be to the SRA Treasurer (Roy McMaster) but something went astray and the SSA office became the destination. If you wish to send your check directly...

If anyone knows where I could find either a complete frame AND plexi canopy for the rear cockpit of a Twin Astir (not Twin II) I'd appreciate the help. Our Canadian Freedoms Wings program for paraplegic pilots is at a standstill as we've broken our rear canopy. Its a frustrating position to be in...

Bought a built experimental powered glider and All I have is a bill of sale from an individual who is not the builder and does not know who he was. No data plate, plans or other documentation with kit number. Is there anyway to satisfy the FAA's chain of ownership requirements ? It only needs a...
