Bought a built experimental powered glider and All I have is a bill of sale from an individual who is not the builder and does not know who he was. No data plate, plans or other documentation with kit number. Is there anyway to satisfy the FAA's chain of ownership requirements ? It only needs a...

https://soaramerica.wordpress.com/ I am surprised it wasn’t mentioned yet on RAS (as far as I can tell). Eric Carden is soaring his Mini LAK FES coast to coast! This is going to be interesting! Ramy

www.youtube.com/watch?v=abtj87wAX0Q Some good stuff in here. I wonder if the LAK 17 b is about to land gear up? They call the Antares cockpit "crash proof" not to sure about that.

Following is the tentative schedule for our Soaring Seminar. If you have not reserved a space, please do so soon, (phone, useour web site or email) as the available space is filling up. It will be an outstanding event. 2008 Soaring Seminar Schedule March 29 - 30

Hi All, In the process of trying to install a TOST towing system on a Super Cub. Original part received was a different design and no longer made by TOST, and there was no way we could make it fit, so it's having to be returned to the dealer. So now, we are thinking of putting the current...

Does anybody have a PDF manual for the Ilec ASR glidepath computer? I know there's one on Ilec's website, but as far as I know their site is down since several days. Any language will do (ENG preferred...). Many thanks in advance, cheers Flavio

http://home.comcast.net/~johan.larson/soaring/sailorsofthesky.html I know many who say this article is why they are in soaring.

By dint of a bonus point on the Drag Race, Brits Phil Jeffery and Richard Hood tied for 6th place on day 1 of the South African "World Series" qualifier in Bloemfontein. On a clearly underset task, local entry Mannie Mclauchlan took the honours by 1 min 37 seconds. For full details see:...

Hi, Any experience with booking systems for members and the usual single seater fleet? What do other clubs use? Thanks -- ----------------------------------------------- http://www.sgi-extremelinux.com

Any CFIG's within a days drive of Buffalo, NY willing to give a ground launch endorsement. I've found an airport that will let me auto- launch of their 5600 ft runway. This seems to be preferable to 2.5+ hr drives to reasonable glider clubs. TIA 2C

The Soaring Safety Foundation is conducting a CFIG Revalidation Clinic in Seattle the weekend of February 13th and 14th, 2010. It is open to everyone - not just instructors. This is your best opportunity to prepare for your next written test (private, commercial or instructor in gliders), prepare...

Both Pawnees at the local glider club suffer from leaking front crankshaft oil seals. One has had several oil seal changes and the problem is not cured, the other started leaking within a few hundred hours of a major overhaul. One is in original fixed prop configuration and the other was...

I am seeking information on installing a glider tow hitch on Piper Cherokee Aircraft. Anyone have experience, pictures or paper work? Thanks Bill Snead

Yesterday looked frustrating. Results for Day 1: http://www.ssa.org/ContestResults.asp?contestId=2256&ContestDetailId=10650&ContestName=Standard+and+15+Meter+Nationals&ContestDate=7/26/2015&ResultsUpdate=True Notice the task - 1 turn MAT (15 mile radius). Ugg. Today looks to have lift to 8-9k...

I made a last-minute decision to attend my first SSA convention and just managed to get my registration in time. I'm hoping to get there in time to catch Burt's session on Wednesday, but might have to drive over from Charlotte if the flights to GSP are full. AirBnB room pending a few blocks from...

With the conclusion of Region 4 North, the 2017 sanctioned contests are finished, and the first release of the Pilot Ranking List for 2018 is available on the Soaring Servers at http://soaringweb.org/PRL, http://soaring.gahsys.com/PRL, http://serkowski.com/soaring/PRL, and...

Is portable TABS (non 2020 compliant ADS-B-out) coming to the USA in 2020? This unit looks a lot like portable TABS. https://uavionix.com/products/skyecho/ It also implements FLARM, and I think that would need to be disabled in the USA. The price point looks right.

Interesting home-brewed investigation into the drag between the fin-type and rod-type transponder antenna by one of our friends in The Netherlands. Seems like the fin type antenna - unless mounted exactly on the centerline of the glider, where the flow is expected to be parallel - may produce a lot...

I've been using Safelog, by Dauntless, for several years and I like it a lot. It requires a subscription and has both web-based and local computer components - both can be used. It is customizable easily and has what seem to me to be good search functions. I use it to keep track of my currency...

Our 2-33 has an original dual Schweizer probe on the nose bowl. One of the probes is pitot but I can not figure out if the other is the static or a TE probe of sorts. Does anyone know for sure? Thanks Pete Brown --
