Looking for a Libelle (or similar size) main wheel/brake assembly, and tire/tube and also a tail wheel. Thanks, Brad 199AK HP-24 S/N 2 (in progress)

Looking for a "road worthy" enclosed trailer for a vintage Ka7 8 m ship. Obviously this does not have to be a pristine trailer and do not really care about tires as long as wheels/drums are mechanically sound. I can be contacted via this site or joelnine,seven,two,eight"at" Yahoo.com

Hello All, Been off RAS for awhile dealing with work stuff (instead of glider-flying, darnit). Now that we're entering the buying/selling season I am cranking up my efforts to acquire an ASW-27. If you know of a good bird that's not being flown, please let me know! If you have a '27 and need...

Looks like the 2014 season has started one week early. According to the published rules, the last day of the 2013 season was suppose to be the 2nd Monday of October, not the first Monday. Ramy

No fly, weather. 434, Ron Schwartz, flying a ASW 20, wins 15 Meter. Wait for offical scores to see second and third. K1, Dale Kramer, wins Standard. KS, Karl Streidieck, wins 18 Meter, with a Duo Discus. Congrats to all, and yes, I know its a 20 meter ship, but whats a couple of meters when...

The Cordele Regional is now history. Six days of awesome soaring, and you can count the number of landouts (in all classes) on the fingers of one hand. George Green (5) won 18m, Frank Paynter (TA) won 15m, and Wally Berry won Sports. Full report available at the SSA reports site and at...

Ok - this one is for all of you flight computer savvy guys in US-glider land because I for sure am at the end of my whits. Here is the set-up: I bought a used LX7007Compact. This is the one which does not have its own GPS receiver, so it needs an external source. I also do have a PowerFLARM core...

Anyone aware of a damaged Krosno KR-03A sailplane? Need a part from the left wing.

Just when it was starting to get exciting... it looks like the tracker feature is offline. Is anyone else able to see the race? I can see that they are actually going to get in a day based on looking at some individual spot trackers (rounding the third turn right now), but it would be nice...

How do you change the color markings on a Winter ASI

Kentucky is on the SSA list for non-existent soaring clubs. Any interested glider and/or tow pilots in the Louisville KY area? I have a 2-33 that I will be operating out of Springfield KY 6I2. If interested, send an email to

I was having a lovely wave flight at 20,000, temperature -10C (in Cowley wave airspace) and called ATC for a further clearance. No response and didn't hear any other transmissions. Tried an AWOS freq and heard nothing. Stayed within wave airspace and descended while seeking sunshine to warm up....

Can anyone help please with a contact e-mail ID for any member of the development team who built this excellent product. None of the Stransim site e-mail links work - mail is always "administratively rejected" - whatever that means. Many thanks DJR

I have a good 80mm Winter Variometer with McC ring. I would like to swap for good 57mm Winter vario in USA TIA -- Hartley Falbaum Georgia USA

Hello, Does anyone know if NJ applies a sales tax on used gliders that are purchased out of state. I know there is a sales tax at motor vehicles when the trailer is registered. Thanks

The orginal paper published 74 1 JULY 2016 • VOL 353 ISSUE 6294 sciencemag.org SCIENCE has a lot more information. For example, their observed L/D was 23.6-19.1 between 500-700 m, but 14.3-11.7 at higher altitudes. I'm still trying to figure out how they stay aloft at night. A Tasty...

Back in 1955 Walt Cannon learned to fly gliders at the Schweizer Soaring School in Elmira. As was common then, he soloed in a 2-22. After a time, Bernie Carris decided he was ready for a single seat glider and put him in the then new 1-26. He was the first "kid" to fly a 1-26. Recently I found out...
