NMD

I am closing in on my first glider purchase and have narrowed it down to three.
What is a safe purchase procedure for an older glider? Two are LS3's and one is an LS3A. All have been refinished in PU.
Is a new annual sufficient or it is advisable to have a pre-purchase inspection as...

Getting new members by
Steve Leonard[_2_]
One of our members is a high school teacher. He worked things out
with the school to take a field trip to our gliderport for
introductory rides. And, as luck would have it, the day they came out
to fly was a spectacular soaring day! How often does that happen?
And they even got the story to one...

Oxygen regulator by
Roger Fowler
I have a Bendix A-8A regulator that I took out of our
glider. Is there a shop around that still overhauls
this regulator, or has it become a museum piece?

MacCready in the Mountains by
JJ Sinclair
I fly a lot in the mountains and find MacCready speed-to-fly information,
completely worthless. Let me explain; Before crossing a ridge, I will fly
slower (below MC), so that I'm assured of making the next ridge. After crossing
the ridge, I may fly faster than MacCready. If I set the proper MC...

Best US Soaring Weather by
[email protected]
If you were pulling up stakes, where would one move to find:
1. The longest soaring season.
2. The best x-c conditions, on average.
The OLC would suggest Blairstown, NJ... Any other opinions, with or
without objective data?

LiFePO4 Batteries by
vontresc
So I am in the market for a new battery for my Libelle. I was thinking it might be time to upgrade to a LiFePO4 battery.
Any recommendations/reviews from the community? I've seen people using the K2 and Stark Power batteries. Any preference between the two?
Thanks
