USA - Private Pilot glider tow compensation by
Tony[_5_]
I just came across this letter on another forum. I think we just
discussed this but it turns out that compensation is compensation and
the FAA is not in the business of delineating between "logging time"
compensation and "money"...

Grease recommendation by
Bastoune
Looking for a good grease recommendation for general use around the
glider (main pins, ball fittings, etc.). Something locally available
in the US would be preferred! Anything that I should definitely stay
away from?
Thanks,
Bastoune

Soaring apps for iPhone by
kirk.stant
Just got one of these Apple gizmos and I'm curious what apps other
glider guiders are using. So far I've found some nice non-aviation
weather and mapping apps, so now I'm looking for a good NOTAM and
aviation wx brief app.
How about SPOT, XCskies, DrJack?

Soaring under the Bravo? by
Don Byrer
I soar at 67D, Reader-Botsford, ~22nm SW of CLE (Cleveland OH), along
the approach to CLE's rwy 06 . Our 67D field is 800'MSL; the 40/80
shelf of CLE's Class Bravo is ~2 nm NE of the field.
In the past we've easily dealt with this by towing to the S and W,
usually to 3K AGL/3800'MSL.m We also...

Beginner student here again. :)

Ka-6 Rigging by
vontresc
Well I finally got out in my (new to me anyways) Ka-6 the other day,
and I was wondering if anyone out there has some tips to make
assembling it any easier. Ideally I'd like to get to a system where I
wouldn't have to bother fellow club members too much for help. I
figure as long as I keep the beer...

Forum Deficiencies in rec.aviation.soaring by

This forum is great for general discussion, opinions on nearly
everything germane to it's topic and otherwise (unfortunately), and
various other uses.
However, it does not allow for any presentation of attachments,
graphics, or other useful information. I am likely in a small
minority, but when I...

Longest glide? by
Jonathan St. Cloud
I was reviewing my log books the other day and was reminded of an amazing flight I took team flying with another glider. I was flying an ASW-24 and the other glider was a Janus C. There was limited signs of lift yet as we struggled North from the Glider port, most others turned back. We got to...
