Open towball available going to and from the SSA Convention in Greenville, SC. Very convenient place to pick up or drop off that glider that you've bought/sold from the other side of the country. Save yourself the drive. Plenty of trailer towing experience, references available. Save your vacation...

I got the following message from Jim Herd today and, since he doesn't post to RAS and this was important information, he said it would be OK for me to post in his stead. I'll add some comments that I sent him as the first reply on this thread: On Apr 5, 2009, at 10:48 PM, Jim Herd wrote: Pilots...

I'm putting all new instruments in my LAK and am thinking about using Winters 5-way tubing quick connector. Wondering what the thoughts are on this connector. If you have this device, are you experiencing any leaks or other problems associated with it? Pro's Cons? Thanks for your advice. Don F2

In his flight test reports Richard H. Johnson usually included an assessment of the glider's wing condition. He often sites 0.004" as being a acceptable degree of waviness. I'm assuming this is wave height, but over what length? The reason for asking, is I'm current having my wings refinished and...

First soaring video with J5 on the sound track I've ever heard!

Born To Fly. A film about an aviator's memory loss and the onset of dementia. Not a happy topic but the subject of the interview is Derek Piggott, the legendary British glider instructor (a mentor of mine through his many books) and movie pilot (including "Those Magnificient Men and Their...

Looking for a ground station and radio. Thanks, 5U

Thanks for sharing the Rage Ultra info, unfortunately I just bought a gallon of the old 5 minute Rage. I tried a new body putty and like it a bunch...... Kombi Spot Putty is much thicker than Nitro-Stain (the red stuff) which is too thin and also shrinks. Kombi, fills all pin-holes with one...

Hi, I have been proud to sell the book "Completing in Gliders" by Leonardo and Riccardo Brigliadori for many years. It is a wonderful and very popular book. Unfortunately Leonardo died a year or 2 ago. He will be missed. After his death I was able to purchase the books from Riccardo, but the...

This scenery is now available on the Harris Hill Soaring web server: http://www.harrishillsoaring.org/HHSC/Condor.html Thanks to everyone for their inputs.

For those interested in rebuilding, repairs, or the creation of frankenplanes... After calling USAIG for the last few months, I have come to realize they have a lot of higher priorities going on than selling a damaged HP-14... If you are interested in purchasing the salvage from my unfortunate...

Hello XCSoar users. I love my XCSoar/Streak combo in my glider and I installed a second Streak in the Pipistrel Sinus. In the Sinus there is no computer/GPS to feed the Streak and so the XCSoar relies on the internal GPS of the Streak. With the solo setup, I never see winds. I've flown...

I think it is time to end this back and forth ping pong about restricting the use of PF. We have to agree to disagree and try to come up with a solution that could work for both groups. Let's try to define some criteria that might be acceptable to all: 1) Should targets be visible on PowerFlarm...
