Spot Gen3? by Tim Taylor
Tracking down to 2.5 minutes. Prices for the Gen3 and is there extra cost for the better tracking? Couldn't find anything on the website. From SPOT: Having initiated over 2,300 rescues around the world, SPOT is solidifying its place as a leader in satellite communication

PowerFLARM Files not valid with OLC by Tim Taylor
I have had two flights in a row come back with Purple Validation rather than green. So far no explanation from the OLC guys why this is happening. Very odd thing is that OLC is changing my file names each time they are uploaded. Tonight I uploaded 36GG8E1.igc and the OLC site renames the file...

SPOT Possibilities by Tim Taylor
Now that my SPOT unit has arrived and I got to fly with it yesterday, I have some thoughts. 1. Do we have any good contacts with the company? I think some modifications could be very useful for the soaring community. The recent Australian Gran Prix was nice, but track every 2 to 3 minutes would...

Godspeed Bill Bartell by Tim Taylor
Many of us received word this morning that Bill is missing and presumed dead in a body surfing accident in Mexico (Thanks, Roy). Was not sure how it would affect me, but I have been pretty subdued all day. Hard to think Bill won't be there to call when I need advice on flying the Ventus and which...

Relief Tube Housing - Unsafe by Tim Taylor
I pulled the seat pan in my Ventus 2 for the first time to find the relief tube housing to be a 10 inch long sharp ended aluminum tube epoxied to the bottom of the fuselage. Needless to say if you have one of these in your glider I encourage you to get rid of it ASAP. I would hate to see what...
