I enjoyed watching Tiffany's webcast of the races after work here in Moscow, but the real-time data needs to be better!! I know this is already realized :-)

Moscow, Russia or Moscow, Idaho? If you are in Russia have you checked out any of the soaring clubs?

I haven't been flying here yet. I've found one club about 80 km away towards St Petersburg, and another 100 km or so to the south. Unfortunately, as I've adopted a typical Russian lifestyle here, getting around by metro, taxi, train, and airlines it's a bit tricky to travel to them.

The club to the south is just 2 km or so from a minor railway station, so could be walked to, but they seem to have only a dozen or so Blaniks. The one to the NW appears to have a decent glass two seater, though it's not mentioned on the web site: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvLGGX3kF_4
