The 2014 Nephi OLC meet is now in the logbook. And what a great event this thing is. Bruno Vassel has this vision and he is making it happen, and what a great vision it is. The Great Basin has some of the best soaring conditions in the world and the best part is that if you live in the USA you can...

Is there a standard for pneumatic instrument tubing colors? Best I can tell in my LS-4: Green is TE Red is Pitot Blue is Static Does this jive? Is there a standard?

Hey guys, I am wondering if any of you know the size of the O-ring for the ballast connection that comes out of the wing of a LS-6A? Also, my front air vent keeps opening up just enough to create a very loud whistle when I get the glider going faster than 100 knots. It gets quite annoying to keep...

Hi, I'm looking for a Cambridge L-Nav. If you have one you would like to move on please drop me an email with details of what's included and the price. I am located in the UK, but will obviously pay any shipping costs.

Perhaps some knowledgeable person can help me with this. I recently started using an iPAQ with GPS_LOG WinCE interfaced to a Garmin II. Before flying with it, I did a test run over the hills in my car; it logged the trip perfectly and the log included the G-record. I then flew with it and it...

I measured the bandwith of my Microire receiver. Test method was to set the receiver squelch just above trip point then to sweep an rf generator across the set frequency. The points at which squelch tripped were recorded from the frequency counter built into the rf generator. Results for the...

I am (was) the other owner of the Caproni that went down at San Geronimo AirPark. I'd like to provide factual information that may prevent some rumors that appear to be floating around. There were four of us that assembled the Caproni. My partner in the aircraft, his business partner, and my son....

Or what to do when the weather says, "no soaring". For those who don't get out enough (no rude comments directed towards me, please), you may not have heard of the following aviation related items (no financial or other connections with this, but they sure is fun!): "Air Hogs Havoc"...

Slightly off-topic I admit, but strikes a chord with me as a glider pilot: http://today.reuters.com/tv/videostory.aspx?storyid=42c02bd811e7e8a45466c64db02cdb0c0fd0a8a0&WTmodLoc=vidarticle-r1-featuredvideo-7 David Starer

In another thread, some folks mention flying with these "light sensitive" glasses. I have a pair, but find I must use clip-ons while driving, as the glasses apparently react to UV, and the car's windows filter most of it. I have also found that same effect, though a bit milder in the sailplane. ...

Hi, I am always searching informations about any jet glider. Has anyone infromations about Russian saiplane A11 (1965 ?) equiped with a little turbojet, or about US Prue 215 equiped with a "Baby Mamba" Turbojet (http://perso.wanadoo.fr/philippe.bezard/model_p215_main.html) ? Thanks, Philippe

Jeff, A Jantar is a fantastic machine, with good performance for the price. Shame you cant use one with a 'normal' canoy, but really and truly a split canopy is of no hindrence what-so-ever. With regards to tipping over - its probably the least of your worries if you are landing in a field where...

Launch was pushed back till 1:45 pm. Lift was light and the cd, errrr the sniffer whos the CD, was not climbing well. The task for Standards and 15 Meter were changed to a MAT of 2 hrs. with Tatum as the first turnpoint. 927 is in first place in Standards with a flight around 148 miles at 58 mph....

Those of you who can (but don't) listen to BBC Radio 4 may be interested to know that there's a program, "The White Stuff", on Monday 17 May about clouds. It may be good, it may be terrible. Who knows? But now you know about it. -- martin@ : Martin Gregorie gregorie : Harlow, UK demon :

I am Jeff and I live in Albuquerque, NM. If anyone needs a glider transported I am available to do the work. I have a very flexible college schedule and I am willing to travel to where the glider is. I also have access to a vehicle that can tow from a buddy of mine. Call me at 505 980 5377 or email...
