http://www.azstarnet.com/accent/216232 very cool, and congrats to Scott on his solo!

I will be in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on business for 6-8 months and miss the spring soaring season. Anticipating that I will go through soaring withdrawl, does anyone know of any soaring sites in southeast Asia? I have spotted a few in Austrailia, and there is certainly Omarama in NZ, but both are...

I'm working to save an old wood glider that is currently in California on a good open trailer. I'm hoping to connect with someone driving to the convention where I could meet it or driving across the country through Iowa. Due to the open trailer care would need to be taken with the weather and...

I think it would even help, if instructors could use an AoA displaying device to show learning pilots what's happening to the AoA during all kinds of different flight regimes and situations. That would give the unique option to show, that the AoA is the basic counting variable regarding a stall and...

Does anyone have a WinPilot version 6 executable (preferably the last v. 6.xx which I think, if memory serves me correctly, was 6.08) to install on an iPaq 3700? I have my own license key, but I somehow deleted the installation file on my main computer and it's not on my iPaq's File Store...

Click the link that follows for probably the most unique soaring calendar of all time. Roller Derby and Sailplanes? Just in time for holidays, this is a limited print calendar that is sure to be a soaring collectors item in the future. Unless they sell out of inventory, I doubt it will be...

The first batch sold out, so I made another run. Simply tape it onto your wing when no wing-runner is available (like on an areo-retrieve) Keeps the tip a good 6" out of the weeds and gravel. I towed from a strip that was only 30 feet wide by placing the main wheel close to the runway lights on one...

They plan to permanently close their glider operations on that date, unless a buyer or a new operator...

WTF???!! Scottland Yard has a new mystery on their hands, and someone here may have a clue (albeit unlikely) Look at the link below about the ASH 25 that had the entire pod/cockpit and motor surgically removed (without the owners...

I've heard back from Naviter and they no longer have access to a database for airspace in the United States. While they can update the sectional charts they can not update airspace changes like those made to the phoenix class b. Does any one know of another source for this data? Thanks Mike...
