Discus b lead ballast plates wanted by
Dan Cannon
I am trying to locate 3 of the 2.2kg Schempp-Hirth Discus lead ballast plates. Rather unlikely someone is going to have the set and wanting to sell but I figured it's worth a shot.
I drilled automotive lead ballast to 10mm but underestimated the limited space up in the nose of the Discus. Turns...

Books? by
Entelin
It's winter here and I figure I should spend some of the time furthering my book knowledge of soaring. I fly XC and compete, but in hanggliders not sailplanes. I assume there are well regarded books from the sailplane perspective out there. I'm looking specifically for anything that gives me better...

[email protected]

Unlike a high percentage of glider pilots, if you want to be a safe pilot, you need to educate yourself.
How many launching emergencies are there? All pilots automatically think of rope breaks. Believe it or not, 41 emergencies are listed,...

Wave Over Moriarty by
Dan Marotta
I made my first tow around 1000 this morning and entered rotor at the
departure end. Within a mile of the airport and at 1,800' AGL (8,000' MSL)

glider, and all stayed up.
Sure wish I'd been soaring instead of...
