Get a copy of Helmet Reichmann's Cross-Country Soaring. It has a good section on how to make one your self. Reichmann's books are great additions for any beginning x-cross pilot's library. GWB Get a copy of Helmut Reichmann's Croos-Country Soaring.

Brown http://home.gci.net/~pdb/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/akmtnsoaring/ AKA wiz(ard) wheel A circular slide rule developed (invented?) by John S Williams (rather like the MacCready Ring being invented by Dr Paul McCready). Probably best considered as an early form of glide computer. Keith

RD Aviation in the UK has some JSW Calculators. Pete Purdie has
probably the only commercially available stock left. I found him him to be very helpful. He can be reached at: Hope this helps. Gene F.L. Whiteley wrote: "Pete Brown" wrote in message ...
