My club in St Louis (SLSA) is looking for a closed trailer for our ASK-21 and Grob-103. Any leads in US or Canada would be greatly appreciated. Also, if there is a closed trailer sitting around for a G-102 we would be interested in that too! Trying to get club members more into contests and...

Contrast ratio is important in high and full sunlight applications. Contrast ratio of a display is defined as the luminance (brightness) ratio between a brighter state and a darker state. The color LCDs “white” state and “black” state are used to calculate the contrast ratio. Contrast ratio = CR...

Another great day at New Castle! The task called was a minimum of 3 hours, with a forecast calling for a short day. This led to many starting as early as possible. Cloudbase peaked mid afternoon at 6500 MSL with lots of streeting down the mountain ridges. It was easy money all the way to the...

I found 91.205 which refers to powered aircraft with a standard airworthiness, but was curious if anyone else might be able to point to a requirement for a sensitive altimeter for an experimental registered glider? Many of us probably have one or more electronic altimeters which are easier to...

Hi, I am considering an upgrade for my ASW-20 and would like to know more about the ASH-26E. I am interested in every aspect of the glider (comfort, maintenance, ease of operation, etc) and mainly about performance as a glider. I have some time on the ASW-27. From my research, it seems that the...

A friend needs a glider delivered to the Bay area of CA from TN. Can get the trailer to any area within 500 mile radius of east Tennessee to start trip. Time frame from October through March. Appreciate any leads. Thanks Steve

I am promoting a book with stories about gliding in Germany and England in the late '30s. However the point of this obvious spam is to benefit the ATA museum at Maidenhead. The entire 11 pounds will be theirs if you buy from...

Just out of curiosity, if you have a GPS-NAV, please take a look at one of your IGC files and check the HFRHWHARDWAREVERSION field (only). I'm aware of units that put 38, 39, and 2.39 in this field. If you find another number, please email the IGC (and CAI file if you have it) file to marc.ramsey...

Today started with the usual cannon blast, amidst excellent omelets served at the towplane tavern, followed by the winners speech from yesterdays flight. Tim Welles W3 won the 18M and Evan Ludeman won the combined 15M class. Alot of pilots were talking about Evan Ludeman's flight in his ASW-20,...

Suprisingly after a tremendous amount of rainfall from yesterday, todays forecast was optimal and accurate. Cloudbases of 6,300 feet MSL, plenty of solid thermals averaging from 3-5 knots with an occasional 6 knot thermal every now and then. Surface temperature's ranged from 70-75 today, in other...

I have landed in 8 farmer's fields over my 18 years of soaring in and around Utah and have always been met by the farmers and their families with great enthusiasm and interest in the beautiful ship from the sky that landed in their field...But not all farmers are always sober or appreciate the...

Does anyone have a surplus Komet trailer coupler they'd be willing to sell? The coupler on our trailer was bent when we purchased it and we're looking to replace it. It'd be great if we could find the same or a similar one that would bolt on without any modifications. I believe our trailer was...

Yes, there is one. More about that very soon. What I would like is a few (more) beta tester volunteers to email me (reply to author) and upload a recent OLC flight from C-10/20/25 following instructions I will provide. Absent any problems, we'll make it available to anyone that wants it. Evan...
