Tales of being distracted by scenery and/or euphoria while soaring by
son_of_flubber
Like many pilots, I try to be extremely cool and rational when I'm flying a glider and (such as it is)I enjoy my technical mastery of soaring, and I enjoy the companionable and endless discussion of technical detail on the ground.
But I fly in eastern-scale 'mountains', often below the ridge...

Has anyone used the micro-mesh kits? My canopy had an unfortunate meeting with the ramp today, and after two hours with Novas #3 it still needs attention. It is an acrylic material, and the scratches are not really deep, but I can fell them with my finger.. I flew it after the incident, and my...

50 years of space (Not related to soaring) by
Bill Daniels
I remember vividly a cold dark night in the New Mexico desert. It was
1957 and the Russians had just launched Sputnik. The USAF needed help
obtaining orbital data for the worlds first satellite.
I found myself, a 16 year old high school science club member, at a
theodolite staring at the star...

Martin Gregorie
For some reason there seems to be a rash of new third party active
flat antennas going cheap on eBay right now. Prices are around GBP
24.00 while retail prices range upward from GBP 35 or so.
I just bought one for my GPS II+, fitted it and flew it yesterday.
Works fine and is definitely giving a...

WINDOW DECAL by
Vorsanger1
A car passed me the other day. On the rear window was a decal or sticker with
the white silhouette of a sailplane. It was approx 10 - 12 inches. This
product seems not to be available through the SSA. Does anyone out there know
about this, where it can be procured ?
Cheers, Charles

best bet under 10K by
[email protected]
I've been looking around the for-sale ads for sailplanes, and it seems
to me if I am willing to spend between ten and twenty thousand bucks,
there is a lot to choose from. There are plenty of older fiberglass
sailplanes in that range, and some decently-performing metal ships like
the 1-35. But...

A Stolen Afternoon to Yosemite by
Marry Daniel or David Grah
I took the afternoon off work today to fly my old Libelle. I left work at
1245, assembled my glider, and took off from the Bishop Airport behind
Hangar One's Husky at 1330. There was strong lift on tow and I released in
a good thermal that took me to over 13,000 feet. I flew north up the...
