Soaring in UAE? by
[email protected]

Emirates or Dubai? A local friend thinks I should go over there and

Les Sparks and the Woodstock homepage? by
[email protected]
The "unofficial woodstock homepage" has been out of service for a
while now. I'm wondering if Les still has the files and might allow
me to revive it. If Les isn't reading RAS perhaps someone out there
can hook me up with him.
Thanks,
Matt Michael

Lessons from Another Sport about the Elite by
[email protected]
I came to soaring through a club that had no cross-country culture. There was one instructor with a Silver Badge and to me he was a god. I'd been flying for years before ever meeting a competition pilot much less flying with one. Due to increased communication via the web the days of isolated...

I've heard that things are getting a tad damp around the home of
Wabash Valley Glider Club at Lawrenceville Illinois. I'm hoping the

Has anyone created a vent on the SZD-55 and what has been your experience or
