Train Wreck by XC
Dang! Got drawn in again! I’m ashamed to admit I have been following Sean Fidler’s “why didn’t I get chosen” rants on Facebook. It is hard to look away from a train wreck I guess. I am embarrassed for him. I've never seen someone take a decision so badly. So much misinformation and so...

1 Attachment(s) Crunch Alert (USA) - hugely serious but (apparently) non-fatal by BobW
Having once 'felt the need' myself, this one undoubtedly has a compelling story; it will definitely make its way into the NTSB database. Thank goodness the pilot is (reportedly) OK. SSA member; diamond badge; 2-time 3rd place finisher in Region 9 Regional. If it happens it must be possible....

Ads-b and sailplanes by Andrew Ainslie
Has anyone been following the latest moves from the FAA on ads-b and experimental aircraft? A recent article in flying suggested that they are going to relax the requirements for experimental planes so they need a GPS source that is equivalent in performance to TSO'd units. If this is true, it...

For many of us soaring cross country pilots the condom catheter and a leg bag are essential parts of a successful flight. David Sedaris has a different take on the product. He's hilarious. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBdymtyXt8Y

500 foot rule and pilot opinion poll by John Cochrane
Fellow US pilots: This year's SRA pilot poll will be on line in a few days. It contains a question on the 500 foot rule. I urge you to read it, think about it, and vote. In particular, this is a rule that benefits newer, less experienced pilots. It doesn't matter much to the top 5 national...

Dittel ATR720B Manual by Cats
Hi I'm looking for a scan of a manual for a Dittel 720B radio. I can find manuals online for the A & C versions which are considerably different, and the few previous enquiries seem to have hit dead ends - but someone, somewhere must have one! I'm in the UK.

How to buy a US registered glider by Matt Herron Jr.
I am looking for some advice on the forms and process I need to go through, to buy a glider registered in the US. From what I can tell, I need a Bill of Sale (form 8050-2) and an Aircraft Registration Application (form 8050-1). It appears that the latter form is only available from the local FSDO...

Compass Correction Card by glider[_2_]
Just for fun...... A long time ago, I was told that a compass correction card is required. I was also told it didn't have to be filled out. That may not be a good idea. No need to upset our FAA friends. GA

ASW 20 SPIN CHARACTERISTICS by Ventus B
I have been considering buying an ASW20, ASW20B, or ASW20C. I knew they were champions in their day and still have a lot of admirers. However a few folks from my club say they have some nasty spin characteristics. Specifically, that they have a tendancy to not only immediately spin when stalled,...

New trainer from SZD Bielsko by [email protected]
SZD Bielsko is in the final phase of testing of "new" 2 seat glider designed for initial and advanced training. It will be fully aerobatic with 17.5 m wings and with 20 m wings it becomes pretty good x-c sailplane with L/D of 41.8. The reason I am saying "new" with quotation marks is that the...

Beginner questions about buying a sailplane... by vic20owner
No, I am not planning to buy anything for at least a year ... but I have often wondered what other "hidden" expenses or obstacles there are associated with buying a used glider. I regularly see older planes in the $10K USD range (which is well within my price range). BUT, for future reference,...
