Cloud Flying/ R. Barry by Shawn Knickerbocker
It is a personal preference ….just like flying ridge, wave, etc…and personal selection that some may want…if it is not your choice, by all means do not do it…. It does result in a tremendous amount of altitude in a short period…take practice and qualifications, just like other aviation...

LS-4 to LS-4a conversion by Dan Peters

UK medical requirements for US glider pilots... by Marc Ramsey
I'll be in the UK (Cambridge) in late September for a conference, and am thinking about heading over there early for some flying. I have a US PPL Glider, but not a US medical, which is not required for gliders. Will I need a US or UK medical validation to fly solo in the UK? Any other formal...

Navman PiN 570 - PDA/Navigation Portable Handheld Device by Doug Haluza
Has anyone used the Navman PiN 570 - PDA/Navigation Portable Handheld Device in a glider with PDA navigation software? These have now dropped below $250 in the US and may be a better deal than a used iPAQ now. It comes with a built in GPS, cradle and gooseneck. It runs WM2003 and has a 266 MHz ARM...

glider trailer Q by Steve Leonard
Wonder what kind of 'low rider' trailer you are running that cannot get a bottle jack under the side of it with a flat tire on the trailer? Or maybe you needed to buy a smaller bottle jack? Two important tips. ALWAYS loosen the lug nuts before jacking. And I would recommend placing the jack...

Hello All, I'm new to racing, and I have a new D-2b on order from Germany. I'm considering installing a backup Flight Data Recorder (FDR) to my Cambridge 302, and I'm curious to see how many other competition pilots choose to have a backup FDR as well. What kind of backup FDRs do...

Cloud Flying by Shawn Knickerbocker
2 methods I teach.. the straight thermal method..which is basically, receive your clearance, O2 on and thermal up into the cloud….when dealing with larger and high developing Cu’s, the seek & go method is preferred. This is basically fly through the cloud, exit the opposite side, complete a 180 &...
