I flew yesterday (26 October) and had two hours, later I used the Cambridge utility on my PDA to download the flight log from the Cambridge 302. First thing I noticed was that the utility said the flight was 111 hours long, and that the date of the flight was 21 October. I later checked the log...

Excuse me while I turn the short "Always release on Wing Drop" into a long discussion. I least my discussion is long. But like the "Impossible Turn" for power aircraft I suspect the real answer is when you really start to analyze it we find "it Depends" or "when in doubt release" but help me...

My difficulties with Condor may well be due to my using bootcamp into Windows 10 on my Mac. However, I have copied a new landscape directory into the c:/Condor2/Landscapes directory and it is not presented for selection on the Tasks screen. I also just purchased an additional glider (ASK-21) and...

To lift a title from The Bard and, since there's not much else going on these days, and to give homage to Roseanne Roseannadana... What's all this nonsense I keep hearing about CG hooks? My first glider had a nose hook and it was easy to control on launch and tow.Â* All the rest had CG hooks...

Looking back through the threads for past few years, it doesn't look like there has been a Region 1 race since 2008. Do any of the racers from the area think there will be a race in Region 1 in the near future? Is there any interest from the clubs in the Region in getting together to organize...

While aero-towing a Mode-C transponder equipped glider, and using PowerFlarm and transponder in the tow plane, most of the time the glider will show up on the PF as a threat aircraft. Since the PF prioritizes threats, this precludes another more distant "intruder" aircraft as being displayed as a...

I am in the process of writing up some regulations for aerotowing to standardize operations and ensure safe procedures for us here in Colombia. The civil aviation authorities don't know a thing about the intricacies of aerotowing so we are on our own with how we want to go about it. Hence the...

Looking for some help from the group... I'm putting together a presentation (might be overhead viewgraphs and/or a series of posters) for the general public on soaring and I want to catch their interest and imagination. For instances might be: the world altitude record for a glider is close...

Hi, do any gliders have full-span flaperons that also act as airbrakes (say at 70-90 degree), or do you lose all aileron authority when the flaperons are that deflected?

Hi guys, It has been a while since I have posted here. I have finally narrowed my search to 2 gliders. I am aware of the following on each glider: Jantar - Visibility during tow, and tight cockpit (I am 5'10' 148 lbs so I fit ok). Pik 20D - Thick wing mold, parts support, and flaps.

Anybody out there got a low time Grob 102 hiding somewhere they would like to sell?

A new member at our club had a small video camera, almost like a bullet cam, but just slightly bigger. Al it takes is an SD card, he had a 1 gig card for this camera. He just clips it to his hat. I did not get the name of this camera. But I think this member stated that a famous skateboarder...

Robert Mudd took two aluminum panels from our workshop to build a trailer for his apis. In return me promised to replace those with two 12 foot sections of similar material. I reluctantly agreed to this trade but Robert has never given us those panels. I reminded him just before he left for...
