Barnaby Lecture by
John Cochrane[_2_]
I had the honor of giving the Ralph S. Barnaby lecture at the fall
Board of Directors' meeting. The title is "The evolution of US contest
soaring," which I sort of talked about but couldn't resist adding an
editorial here and there. If you're really, really bored at the
office, you might enjoy the...

How does Winscore calculate finish altitude? by
kirk.stant
A question: How does Winscore calculate finish altitude on a cylinder
finish? I assume it is based on the logger's pressure altitude
reading for the closest logger fix after crossing the finish line, but
how is that altitude adjusted for the local altimeter setting? Does
it compare the...

what features are in the next generation of flight computers by
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...
So I started day dreaming... and I came up with a wish-list, (now some of
these are obviously...

Short review of the Dell Streak with XCSoar by
Max Kellermann
Hi,
I have decided to buy a Dell Streak 5" for XCSoar, replacing my old
iPaq hx4700. It runs with Android, not Windows CE. We will release a
"stable" version of XCSoar for Android in March or April 2011, and
this switch to Android in my own glider will give me...

Bipolar/Schizoaffective Disorder and Soaring by
DL152279546231
I am wondering how many others suffer from a mental disorder such as Bipolar or
Schizoaffective disorder seek out soaring because of it's lack of medical
certification requirements. Also, I am wondering what options there are to
taking medications which state, 'to avoid heatstroke it is important...

Display for PowerFLARM brick by
Andy[_1_]
Some time ago potential purchasers of the (US) PowerFLARM brick were
offered the choice of the bundled display or the 57mm panel mount
display. No information on either seemed to be available from US
dealers so it was impossible to make an informed choice.
Butterfly has advised me that no English...

Rudder Cable Systems Used in Modern Sailplanes by
JJ Sinclair[_2_]
There seems to be a fair amount of confusion about the springs used in almost all modern sailplane rudder cables. The springs are there to keep the pedals upright (pulling forward) and to facilitate rudder pedal adjustment through the use of an 'S' tube. Each rudder cable enters the top rear of its...

ASW 20 Handling Issues? by
[email protected]
The ASW 20 seems to have a reputation for bad behavior in some configurations. Is this reputation deserved or overblown? What has been the experience of those who have owned and flown the glider? Are some variants of the 20 better or worse in terms of handling characteristics?

Contest Safety by
birddog bob
Why don't people in SRA and SSA get the message about contest safety?
A unnecessary loss of life because the FINISH GATE was used and not a
FINISH CYLINDER.
Charlie Spratt and the top racing pilots want the finish gate at
contests because it is so exciting! All the near misses in the pull
ups and...
