I've been replaying some flights (recorded by my 302) on my PDA to get to know SeeYou Mobile. I plan on flying with it next season and want to be already familiar come spring. I decided to see what the thermal assistant is all about. It doesn't seem to make much sense to me. I know that the larger...

I was glad to see the significant interest in the subject - So far in 3 days, 50 posts by 17 contributers! What a neat subject for a convention meeting where there would be pizza, beer, cokes, white boards and note pads. - Invite the current OEM's and the want-to-be's and let them listen to the...

The SGU are actually a large club based at Portmoak in Scotland, and are a well-known wave site with a number of nearby short ridges too. They trialled FLARM for six months this year and have just published their final...

Pieter Janse van Rensburg was tragically killed in an ASW 20 at the Goldfields Gliding Club in South Aftica. The investigation into what happened is ongoing. He will be sorely missed as a friend as well as a fantastic young pilot and gliding instructor. He leaves his wife, Annelise, and 7yr old...

Our webmaster and head elf, Mario Lazaga posted this as our Christmas website opening page! Enjoy! www.centralindianasoaringsociety.org OK - so who else has a great front page for their Clubs web site! Merry Christmas to all - Dave Newill

I've just finished watching the final day's live coverage and I must say it was terrific. The air-to-air and in-cockpit shots all worked as advertised and the 3D graphics were very good, whether it was watching Kawa in his Diana 2 creeping away from his rivals on the last leg to win overall or...

Photos are requested of soaring at Marfa to copy for the dedication of Marfa Airport as a National Landmark of Soaring (by the National Soaring Museum) on April 4 + 5, 2008. These copies (or your originals) will be added to the archives as I finish a complete history of the site. Photos from the...

All, I've just embarked on a project to extract US (CONUS) airspace data from the FAA National Airspace System Resource files and process it into more accessible formats (such as OpenAir and Tim Newport-Peace). This is a little more complicated than it sounds, because the NASR uses ESRI shapefile...

Found this on an old disk - remember them ? Posting again - yes, I know, your favorite glider is not there. 1995 Soaring Pilot's Holiday Tree 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with...

If your software has it how much are you using this feature? Do you tend to use it more than traditional MC/ballast/bugs settings for final glide calculation? I am suspicious of usefulness of this feature in fast changing conditions. What is your experience? AK

Anyone have a decent used logger laying around that they would like to sell? Perhaps something fairly easy to use for a new guy.....

If you have any experiance please let me know. I am looking at the software, but I have seen a post on naviter forum stating this feature does not work. I placed an e-mail to naviter, but I would like to hear from others.

Did you know analog cell phone coverage is being sunset? Legally, a FCC ruling says that all analog cell phone services can be shut off after Feb. 18, 2008, aka the 'analog sunset' ? And guess what, Verizon will do just that precisely on...

I'm looking at purchasing an LS-3 but the owner has noted that the Urethane finish has blistered in several places on the tops of the wings (The glider was re-finished in 1996). According to the owner they are very small blisters which have left pin sized holes. I'm assuming that this would be...

I want to remove the water bags in my LS3-A and check them for leaks. The only hole I see at the wingtip is a 3/8 hole located on the bottom about 2 or three inches from the tip. How do I get the bag out without ruining the ability to get it back in? Also, the seat belts have been in the ship...

I'm not in any way associated with this site - it's based in the Netherlands as far as I can tell - but someone really has put a lot of effort into this: http://gliding.start4all.com/ Nicely laid out and more gliding-related links than I've ever seen. Quite a lot explore.
