Many of us remember major events of the summer of 1969: Haight- Ashbury, Manson, Woodstock, Apollo-Moon, Chappaquiddick. But a lot was also going on that summer in a small town in southern Texas... Marfa! To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the 1969 US Soaring Nationals in Marfa TX, I have put the entire movie "The Sun Ship Game" on youtube. Some notes about the movie on youtube: To get under the 10 minute limit, the movie is broken into 8 parts. The original movie had numerous musical tracks from the BeeGees. I had to mute/remove these for youtube. Youtube has a very clever music scanner that flagged them as copyright violations. So you will experience silence instead of the BeeGee tracks. No major loss. In some places, the audio and video get out of sync by a second or so. But since most of the dialog is in the form of voiceovers, this is not a serious problem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSj_POL6u0w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACpksxkyOTQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvQU4OqqVxc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eenw-cueqio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ae14HGvxSgc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfzMYIcrTMA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KCT5-lyw8g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzJmNSdA1u4 screen said unavaible when i clicked on it |

Yet another peep that did a search for something, found a thread, didn't read the whole thread, then was "less than satisfied" when they couldn't follow a link.
The reason, for the broken link, has been covered already. Banghead...... |

Hi, I have a link on my Soaring Links page "Theory, Equations & Spreadsheets" to a site in Melbourne (link below) which includes a program to calculate and plot a Stocker final glide calculator as described in Helmut Reichmann's book Cross Country Soaring. http://www.gliding-in-melbourne.org/resource.htm More interesting links are he http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/soaring_links/theory.htm Good Soaring, Paul Remde "Bob Gibbons" wrote in message ...

There are several versions but the one I have has a side to place a sectional chart (or portion of one) and a spiral set of lines to show glide distance into a headwind. You twist the correct line over your current location and I think it indicates the correct altitude for final glide, or some combination thereof. If someone is really interested I can post pictures on my website. m l b ( at ) m i k e b a m b e r g . c o m (remove the spaces, replace the at) drop me a line and I'll go through the effort. Mike I presented a paper at the 1991 OSTIV meeting detailing a software program, written in HP BASIC, to compute the required parameters and plot the graphic overlay for this type of final glide computer, which Helmut Reichmann called a "Stocker" calculator. On my copy of Reichmann's "Cross Country Soaring", the descirption of the computer is on page 120. The program I wrote was designed to drive an HP plotter which generated an overlay what would be printed on a transparency and overlaid on top of a sectional map. If anyone is interested in ancient historical artifacts, send me an email and I'll forward a copy of the paper. Bob At the time of the Marfa contest I was a young Glider pilot/tow pilot/dingy sailor I had a share in a KA-8. Gliding was like having fallen head over heels - in-love, like all stories worth their salt - there was a girl - yes she was as sweet as the summer breeze and bent just as sweetly. Gliding was/is - a mental sport, like being in love with a young woman. Mr Moffat made me think- Gliding is mental and intellectual, Thinking about what the heck is the weather doing now !! the high cirrus is moving in and cutting the heating on the ground - if i dont think quickly in a couple of minutes I will have to find a patch to land this thing... Ups I fell out of the core - my god I can smell the engine of the farmer thrashing the field below - what is my McCready ring setting for this head wind every minute or two - think - what next - and after that? this was George's expressed glider flying tactics... I learned to practice in my Ka-8 - and that girl ? she let me fly her fathers Libelle - she was graceful, when we danced - she moved with a inimitable grace - her waist curve was a sweet line that held you in a trance oh, what magnificent moment to be with you !! Ka8 dont be jealous. |

I've watched The Sun Ship Game probably a dozen times in my life but finally bought a copy to play for friends. I agree with Juan Mandelbaum that we should honor the copyright and purchase a copy from Amazon.
Having said that, I wish this would get picked up by Netflix or Amazon Prime and made available to the masses. Maybe a successful producer and screen-writer will team-up again to make a movie that appeals to the masses, which incorporates soaring as a major theme in the movie and includes eccentric characters and a plot that would move an audience.
