Sorry for the late report. Landouts will do that to the reporter... Both 15m and Club Class flew tasks today and, drum roll please, Club Class flew the FIRST ever Assigned Task in America!!! WooHoo. But then, I hit the dirt. Along with a few others. Same in 15m. A lot of us didn't return to...

I just made my first flight with the new Panasonic DMC-ZS3 camera and it's quite impressive. The lens does an effective 25 - 300mm zoom, so not only can you get good pilot perspective shots, but air to air photography is also possible without the need to fly dangerously close to the other ship. ...

This video covers a 25 mile ridge run north of Logan Utah. Thought it might be interesting for those pilots who are thinking of flying at the Logan contest this year in August to see what the ridge headed into Idaho is...

You shoulda been here... Phil sent out a note on Monday that Wednesday looked *really* good. I got in gear and got my plane ready, Bill Greenwood was kind enough to come over and do my annual condition inspection, all set except for the forecast. National Weather Service said chance of rain in the...

Thursday, 14 MAY 09 Where oh where is the famous Cordele weather? It sure isn't here right now. I know. It will be here by the "buckets full" once the contest is over. Today's weather was similar to yesterday. Low bases to the cu's, but with the added dimension of actual precipitation. Rain...

All, I've place my ASW20b on the market, some of you in the states know it's Id (21) and know it's a fine ship. If interested please see the ad on W&W at: http://www.wingsandwheels.com/wantads3.htm Respectfully, Rick Culbertson Colorado, USA

I recently learned that the restricted airspace in the SE corner of Arizona (R-2303) is not in effect during the weekends. Does anyone happen to know if any of the restricted areas over central New Mexico (R-5107 -- over the White Sands Missile Range) have a similar policy? ~ted/2NO

Works great! Includes telephone type cable. Prefer Paypay payment. Mike Reyes (515) 979-8963

Hi, Are there any glider pilots out there using the Bendix King AV8OR unit? I ask because I need help getting my unit's supplied SD card back to its original configuration. It is a great product! I have been testing it with SeeYou Mobile for PNA. You can see my review of it...

Does anyone use an O2 cylinder mounted in the hatchback area of a 102 ? I have studs glassed in, but have never seen an example of a bracket and would like to mount an O2 bottle there. If you have this or have seen it, please post a description or better yet, post a photo.

Trying to figure out the best places to install the microswitches on the spoiler and gear. Do not want ANY exposed wiring. H3, Front Royal, VA.

After trolling for suggestions here, I decided to fly from Cal City with Caracole soaring last weekend. What a great choice that turned out to be! Friendly helpful folks, a restaurant right at the airport, camping right on site, with a working shower and everything. I had a great time even though...

If the forecast is correct, this weekend may be one of the best of the year for thermals in the southern Sierra and along the Inyo/Whites. Sunday might be as good as July 5, 2007. There is no excuse. Long flights should be possible from your choice of Crystal, Krey, Cal City, Tehachapi, or...

I am trying to get a handle on the number of active soaring pilots in the US for some statistical studies. In 2003 John Roake from New Zeeland stated in a table he developed that the number was 29390. He also stated that the FAA and SSA numbers were not representative. I am looking for ideas on how...
