Here is one more to add to the list:

hp-gliders, 315 members
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hp-gliders/

Exactly. I might add that in my prior post I only listed one soaring
related Yahoo group of the seven I use. I found several more that I
didn't bother to include.

As I said, they are specialized, so I can't recommend any, unless you
have an specific topical interest. You can already tell that R/C
soaring is very popular. Think of some other search terms, like
sailplane (make and models), gliders (a lot of track and field clubs
are gliders, then there's those pesky sugar gliders, or the one's for
the porch). From a quick Yahoo groups search....

and there are many more on Yahoo, Google, and perhaps even MSN groups,
in English, German, and other languages. Some are lively and popular,
others quiet until something happens to generate discussion. Some are
seasonal. The seven I subscribe to cover specific topical areas. Four
are private, the remainder public. I'm just saying that these groups
have reduced the overall amount of postings to RAS.

There is a yahoo group for the standardcirrus drivers...

I guess we're all out flying our PW5's or otherwise enjoying the summer
weather.


John Roake seems to be busy sending out missives on next week's Grand
Prix, and no doubt other things behind the scenes. Nice to see a 50%
discount on ticket prices for Gliding NZ members and friends&family.

John/Peter, do we need to prove this somehow?


Peter Masak, of course, is sadly no longer with us.
