anyone know the name of an old sailplane short film by
shymetal
many years ago, there was a soaring short movie that the TV stations
would sometimes use a filler late at night.
the plot was simple but striking: a man goes up in in sailplane.
another plane appears near him and kind of taunts him. he takes the
challenge, and what follows is some amazng...

Klaus Ohlmann triangle world records in Patagonia by
Juanman
Klaus Ohlmann has broken more world records in Patagonia, some of the
few he didn't hold (or rather some of his own records which were
recently broken). Triangles in Patagonia are extraordinarily
difficult because they require leaving the wave routes along the Andes
to get a turnpoint in the...

Japanese use GAPA glider to teach kids - video by
Newill
What a neat way to get kids and adults introduced to gliding by
themselves - reminds me of the stories of flying the wire in the UK.
Turn the ship, bungees, and helmets over to 11 or more kids and get
out of the way! Wonder if we could do this within our insurance rules?
Maybe use a...

A new experience by
Andy[_1_]
I've been towing for quite a few years but had a new experience today.
I was towing a pilot new to the Std Cirrus, and who had never towed on
a CG hook before. I expected an "interesting" ride, but he did fine.
That is until release time. I looked in the mirror to see him pull up
into a hard...

Extending new pilot comfort zone? by
tstock
Hi everyone, I've been reading "Advanced Soaring Made Easy" by Bernard
Eckey, and this is a fantastic book for a new pilot. It does discuss
learning to get out of the comfort zone of flying safely within glide
range of the airport. This is something I am just venturing into
myself and I was...

First Glider, but now a two seater... by
tstock
I've spent the last year or so keeping an eye out for a first
glider... something like a 1-34, etc. No rush you know, just looking.
But then I started taking my 9yr old daughter flying with me, and she
absolutely LOVES it! She has been asking me every day when we are
going up in the glider...

Another first glider query. by
Timinnc
All my training in a G103. Looking for a decent glass ship under $20k. Looking seriously at 15b or Jantar Std 2 or Standard 41a. Any big differences between the Jantar choices? I get that the 15b will likely climb better in weak lift but the Jantars will dust the 15b when XC. I am 6'1" and have...

Security for Sailplane Pilots?? by
Jim Kellett
It's always bothered me that the public, and to some extent aviation
policy makers, have no clue as to the real meaning of "general
aviation", and it bothers me even more that soaring is lumped into
that group for the purposes of making policy.
And there's evidence of why this is a serious issue...

condensation INSIDE of glider parts by
Brad[_2_]
Okay, we all know condensation forms On gliders inside of trailers,
but what about condensation forming INSIDE a cored sailplane part?
Pretty sure that is happening to my horizontal stabilizer. It is a
cored part, and it is inside of my shop right now, which is maybe a
little warmer than outside,...

Blanik/Let questions by
gldrgidr
Noticed that all LET production has ceased including the L23 Blanik
and the L33 solo. Why?
Most reports have stated the cause of the L13 failure was fatigue, yet
all L13's are grounded. Most fatigue failures are the result of very
long life, yet they are not grounding L13's with over X number...
