Peter
I've been daydreaming about flight computers...
Not the ones we have now, but the next generation... I haven't seen any
significant step changes in the functions the current generation
provide...

Nearest near-miss? by
[email protected]
The Transponder chatter on other threads got me to thinking about who’s got the closest near-miss? Thought I’d kick it off with my incident over 40 years ago. I was flying my homebuilt wooden sailplane over Mono Lake, Ca. Cursing south at 16000’ and 60 knots when I spotted a 4 engine jet...

Sharing a thermal by
Hal
Still learning to benefit from thermalling with another glider and so
far have not realized the benefits. If you are opposite another
glider and observing your progress in relationship to the other glider
how do you adjust your path if you see the other glider in better
lift? I seem to have the...

Cobra trailer lift struts for clamshell top by
[email protected]
I have a 2002 glasstop cobra and I have a lift strut (nitrogen
spring?) that just failed on me.
It is very difficult to lift the clamshell with even just one failed
strut.
Is there anyone in the US that might have these in stock?
If anyone has replaced theirs with a US made strut I would also...

Flarm Target direction by
Anton Lawrence
Earlier in the year I had a close call, the Flarm was going off with multiple targets most of which I could visually identify. One I did not see, we both had to turn sharply left to avoid a straight on collision.
