Photocromatic sunglasses by 5Z
In another thread, some folks mention flying with these "light sensitive" glasses. I have a pair, but find I must use clip-ons while driving, as the glasses apparently react to UV, and the car's windows filter most of it. I have also found that same effect, though a bit milder in the sailplane. ...

ASH-26E for sale by 5Z
s/n 26185 (2001) I love the ship, but an ASW-27 will better fit my flying style, so a trade could be the best deal for both of us. Posted on Wings & Wheels: http://www.wingsandwheels.com/want-ads10.htm 996 hours with 65 hours on the engine. One owner, no damage history. Metal Cobra trailer. 302,...

302 wind calculation by 5Z
The best way to get a good wind calculation while flying "straight", such as on a final glide, descending through wind gradients and shears, I do the following per conversation with Dave Ellis a few years ago: 1. Turn 45 degrees off course and fly straight for 10-15 seconds. 2. Turn 90 degrees in...

Quick mental math for the cockpit by 5Z
One minute of LATITUDE is approximately a nautical mile. Use your fingers as a crude caliper to measure distances on the chart. Double the distance and multiply by 100 for 30:1 Triple the distance for 20:1 I'd set my GPS for STATUTE miles then use the above math while flying the club's ASK-21...

Transponder antenna - blade vs stub monopole by 5Z
Any aerodynamic thoughts on the two available choices? My ASH-26E came with the stub mounted just behind the wheel. Every now and then it catches on the trailer, so I just straighten it, no big deal. An ASW-24B in our club is about to get a transponder and the factory recommends the installation...

Messenger, that is... OK, so I've just been driving with it recently. But I have kinda figured it out, and have also set up an email filter to generate a much more useful email or text message position report. What follows will be most useful for someone who already has one of these, but it may...

Giant Atmospheric Waves by 5Z
Yet another potential source of lift? http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2007/11oct_undularbore.htm?list812469 The question is how long do they last and how far they propagate? And, of course, how do you catch one? -Tom
