Stewart Kissel

Any news if he launched succesfully?
If you got rid of the jet engine...what sort of L/D
might that thing have? And what would you use to tow
it?

"Soaring, Beyond The Basics" By Dale Masters by
Jim Hultman
A winter reading suggestion:
I've just finished "Soaring, Beyond The Basics" by Dale Masters &
enthusiastically recommend it. It's all about developing airmanship,
sensitivity to the terrain & interpreting clues to lift. Dale's dry humor &
clear writing style make this book an enjoyable page turner...

Short review of the Dell Streak with XCSoar by
Max Kellermann
Hi,
I have decided to buy a Dell Streak 5" for XCSoar, replacing my old
iPaq hx4700. It runs with Android, not Windows CE. We will release a
"stable" version of XCSoar for Android in March or April 2011, and
this switch to Android in my own glider will give me...

Rudder Cable Systems Used in Modern Sailplanes by
JJ Sinclair[_2_]
There seems to be a fair amount of confusion about the springs used in almost all modern sailplane rudder cables. The springs are there to keep the pedals upright (pulling forward) and to facilitate rudder pedal adjustment through the use of an 'S' tube. Each rudder cable enters the top rear of its...

Microair M760 Intermittentent Transmit by
Dan Marotta
Reception is good and, until recently, transmission has been good, as well.
Lately, transmission has been intermittent. The radio transmits carrier,
but no modulation. I have gotten a few false starts since one time moving
the boom microphone caused it to transmit again. Thinking of frayed,...

Random thoughts 2 by
Bill Daniels
Is it legal/possible/reasonable to install just Mode A transponder (No
altitude reporting)?
Whenever I hear "Traffic 12 O-clock 3 miles, altitude unknown" I look
EVERYWHERE. ahead. Might this provoke more visual scanning by aircraft
crews which could spot gliders without transponders in the...

so I made the ultimate dumb move - I updated a working IT device right before I went to a contest. It has not worked since.........
To be fair - I did not update the firmware correct off the bat (should have ready the Manuel better)

Looking for pictures of motorglider failures by

I've been persuaded to give an OSTIV talk about motorglider safety issues,
in particular propulsion system failures. I'm going to discuss
common failures, the systemic reasons this stuff has happened and

Takeoff distances by
Kilo Charlie
Has anyone done calculations for takeoff distances for various density
altitudes, weights and winds for their sailplane-towplane combination?
Every powered plane POH has a table but there are none in the glider books
