Well, we finally had a good day - maybe 3/4 of a full Parowan day - great lift, but very few clouds. Apparently the temps got a few degrees higher today, and the winds were fairly light out of the south. The task advisors knew we didn't want to go very far south, and we *definitely* did not want...

I just read the Strategic Plan posted on the SSA website and encourage other SSA members to also read it. I think it is the best thing to emerge from the SSA and its Board in a long time and thank all who put time and thought into it, particularly those who conceived and pushed for it. Now we...

IIRC, the rubber gasket seal around the cockpit is a Volkswagon part. Can someone give me the part number, or correct my recollection? The G 103 owned by Youth Flight Canada Education Fund has a torn gasket that needs replacing. Any info appreciated...

Many of us do. But we are our worst enemies when it comes to promoting our sport. 3 classes are competing at the highest level contest in the USA and there is not a single report on the SSA website. The worldwide audience is at a loss when it comes to understanding what is going on at this airfield...

I have an empty Discus trailer being shipped from Germany to Houston (Probably) at the end of October. Anyone out there have a glider they want to get back that would want to share shipping costs? -Mitch AAA

I have posted some thoughts (mine and Mike Shakman's) on the Logan 15m Nationals on the Soaring Cafe site (SoaringCafe.com/Racing News/2011 15m Nationals). These thoughts have very little to do with Logan's censorship of my posts at that contest and a lot to do with contest management organization...

Sorry about the duplicate posts - don't know what happened....dave.

Our club has an EW Model D logger. In the process of getting things ready for flying this year, I got the loggers out, put in fresh batteries, and did a test run in the car. I got a strange altitude plot from the EW model D. It was very "notchy'' with the altitude not changing for several...

Is it just me, or is the website down ? Limus

A friend, who is selling his glider, just received a casher's check, in the mail, from a guy who had never even called him. The guy then called him and said he was sending someone over to pick it up, and my friend could pay the guy who is picking it up the extra money. This just happened, and the...
