reverse the last thing you did. by
mart
I had an interesting talk in Narromine last week with a local
instructor about my LS6. I bought it because I thought it to have few
vices.
He knew one.One that almost killed him.
Coming back after a racing task he selected +10 flaps, plenty enough
to land with, especially when it's a bit...

noel.wade
Hi All -
So in planning my vacation time this year (i.e. "Soaring time"), I was
saddened to realize that there's no way I can make the Sports Class
Nats at Parowan. :-( But I still want to attend a contest in addition
to the Region 8 Regionals...
I see the Region 9 North contest was pretty...

Clouddancer covers by
Martin Gregorie[_5_]
Has anybody used Clouddancer weatherproof glider covers?
If so, what's your opinion of them?
I'm especially interested in comments about weatherproofing and
durability.

How about get a decent weather forecast before you go flying and don't
even think about trying to fly in this kind of weather?

SSA Convention ideas by
bildan
I agree with the sentiment that every two years is too long.
How about choosing a location near the middle of the country to host

International Shipping (trailer axle) by

Trying to figure out a semi-economical way to get a Knott axle from
Germany to NE USA. Convenient, fast, very expensive way has already
been identified :-). No containers carrying gliders or trailers are
known to be coming in next several months, so I think that option is
out. UPS appears to...
