An article by Tracie Cone of the Associated Press was published in our local newspaper and it questioned if Personal Locator Beacons gives us a sense of security that allows us to push onwards, where otherwise we might not. From her article: "Now you can go into the back country and take a risk...

I am trying to understand the Club-Class Eligibility List for the USA Sports Class Nationals. There seems to be a club-class eligibility list and a different "Boldface giliders are on the IGC list". The last time I flew in the Sports Class all gliders were allowed. What is the significance of...

Any word on the condition of the pilot who crashed yesterday?

Hi, every now and then, we all have this chore of updating the flight book and the pilot log book with these hard to calculate hours and minutes. So several years ago, I made a web page for that. But that was even cumbersome, so now I have made an Android app for it, minimizing the number of key...

This is sad news, but contains some information worth...

A rare opportunity to purchase this classic gilder. She has been very well looked after and flies like a dream. She has very low hours and launches (845 Hours & 361 launches as of May 2009). She has her original Gel coat, which is in very good condition. The flaps give good slow speed handling in...

Anyone know where I can get this movie? I understand it's not for sale anymore, so I've tried everything from amazon, to ebay, to torrents... no luck :( Thanks -tom

I currently use the WP 8.0 with a GS-NAV unit. To make it work I use GPS-NAV 2 setting in the Hardware dropdown list (About screen). I had a look at the most recent version of WP (9.11 PRO) and noticed that the corresponding drop-down list no longer has GPS-NAV setting (it has: Other, CAI 302,...

Does anyone know if the plane had a fixed ELT installed?

Recently purchased a glider with an LNAV/GPSNAV Model 20 system. Does anyone know of a simple and easy way to download the flight data after a flight. I was hoping there might be something on the market that would let you use a flash card or SD card etc. without having to drag the laptop out to...

I notice that a Schweizer 2-32 with a published L/D of 33 is handicapped at 1.500. This seems like a great bargain, the same as a Falke SF-25C at 1.500 but with only about 22 L/D. Are there other equally great deals out there ? Or any outstandingly heavily handicapped types ? Ian

Where can I get one of these that says "I bought from Paul?"

Does anyone have a template or detailed instructions to make and apply the gap seal between flaperon and fuselage which many have told me I should have on my LS3?
