Anyone here know if there is any soaring activity in the United Arab Emirates or Dubai? A local friend thinks I should go over there and start a soaring school. He's a real nice guy but I take his ideas with a grain of salt. That said, he does know a lot of folks there and thinks they would not...

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

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 hangers full of airworthy vintage sailplanes aren't flooding. News anyone? Matt Michael

Several Questions: I am looking for feedback size of the 12s cockpit. I hear that pilots 5'10" tp 5"11 fit OK with the seatback at the aft position. For taller pilots, can the seatback be removed and is it practical or comfortable? Anyone out there flying with the seatback removed. If so, how...
