Looks like new Junior Club Class World Champion Jake Brattle has a comfortable lead in the UK Junior champs. Very close for 2nd, 3rd, 4th PF

has anyone had problems with water in the cockpit after flying through rain? the 20 has NACA ducts for cockpit ventilation, and I kinda thought the water might have been coming in through the NACA ducts while flying through rain. the problem has been fixed with a drain hole, but I wondered if...

Is anyone making Russia sailplane replacement canopies.

After powering up today, I noticed something from the 302's speaker that seems new. Could have been there all along and I'm just noticing, but seems odd to me. After the wind up and wind down audio vario sound, maybe 3-5 seconds later, there's a single LOUD tone lasting about one second. The heck...

I am interested in conversing with anyone who might have had a personal relationship, conversations with or owned any of his designs (RS-1 thru R-6). I am particularly interested in the R-3 and the R-4. I have just acquired an uncompleted R-3 and would really appreciate conversation with anyone who...

Years ago my club used Delcom AIR960 handheld radios mounted in our instrument panels using an optional bracket and external power. They were less expensive than the alternatives and had the advantage (for a handheld) of top mounted frequency selection. In 2006 we removed them from service and I...

Has anyone used Oratex to cover a glider here? If so what was your experience both in applying and then the finished product compared to the traditonal way. I have a K6 wing that I am about to cover.

https://youtu.be/e9u4e3lzEAE Heres a great classic film about the worlds at Waikerie. Do you remember these days?

Yes Someone can ask him that question. We need a volunteer for that, a crowd funding effort to kick it off, and a committee to study the question at least six weeks in advance, and dedicate three months to the correct interpretation of the answer. While they are at it, have them ask about flying...

Wonder if anyone has a spare Themi cable set (big plug, GPA aerial, etc.) or a complete unit. The cables for mine were lost when it was being calibrated. Let me know what you have and price, thanks. John

I bought flywith CE logger 2 years ago; there always seemed to be problems with the download to logbook; repeated tries were necessary to connect. After three more flights this Fall, it now refuses to connect. has anyone else had this failure? John F

There is an article about the Open Glider Network (OGN) and the PilotAware system in the current issue of Sailplane and Gliding (the excellent UK soaring magazine): www.pilotaware.com

Any of them out there? And what's average acceptable cost for a used 303? Jordan ASW20 E

My Oudie IGC will too often break the squelch with a hideous noise on both my panel radio (an old Dittel) and also most any handheld that comes within about 12" of the Oudie. Anyone else seeing this issue? Thanks, Evan 6E

I am trying to understand how TE probes are connected. I've searched the literature but apparently have not found the description I'm looking for. Are the fuselage static ports connected (used in any way ) in an Irving TE probe is installed?

Check out Keith Essex' flights in Kiripotib Namibia the last week on OLC. Wow! Lou

I need a replacement for the audio to go with my '70's vintage Cambridge vario. I have an audio, but as yet can't get it to work. If anyone has a (preferably working) Cambridge audio unit (AU-20, AU-22, or maybe even AU-10) that is gathering dust and that they'd be willing to part with, please...

What is disappointing is how the new handicaps have played out in Club Class - now to be competitive it looks like you need to buy a ship costing at least 10k more than you would have had previously. Way to go FAI with your constant efforts to turning soaring into a 'rich persons sport',...

Hello everyone. I just upgraded my PowerFlarm firmware from 6.42 to version 6.60 this past weekend. After flying I uploaded my .igc file to the PowerFlarm Range Tool to see if anything had changed for the better or worse. Interestingly, the 6.60 generated log file shows zero FLARM data points of...
