ASW 27 wing tip wheels by [email protected]
Does anyone have experience with wing tip wheels on an ASW 27 ? I am thinking about installing wing tip wheels on my ASW 27 (actually about 6-9 inches inboard of the wing tip). I was wondering if anyone has done this and how did it work for them. Did it change the handling characteristics? I am...

Trying to help a few club members get set up with tracking for safety and I noticed Glidetrack is no longer available in the AppStore for IOS.

Trailer access calculation? by John McLaughlin
I want to bring my trailer home to do some maintenance while we're all grounded, but I'm not sure if I can access my house from the road. I have a 90deg bend to get around and then the second issue is a short, steep slope, which may ground the back of the trailer. So my question is, if I...

Seminole Lake Glider Port. by [email protected]
I wonder if someone made a low ball offer for SLGP right now how quickly Mihai would grab it? This could go on for some time to come, no one really knows. I assume that he was "not on the property" during the Seniors as advertised. I guess the excuse will be that the flight restrictions...

Waaaaaaaaaaaaave! by Daniel Sazhin[_2_]
Hey Guys, We're back in New Zealand tonight, soaring the Omarama wave! Thanks Nick Oakley (OWN) for making the task. The conditions are modeled to be as realistic as possible. Probably the biggest challenge of the task is transitioning into the wave at the start. Since many pilots haven't flown...

We have been having an interesting discussion about an apparently new functionality in ForeFlight that can display transponder equipped aircraft on a display (e.g. an Iphone) and, if the software detects the possibility of a mid-air collision, will turn aircraft symbols red and give an audio...

OLC uploading disabled? What does it mean? by Stephen Szikora
I just read this on the Naviter SeeYou page: The OLC team (gliding) has decided to disable the API for uploading flights directly from apps and devices to OLC. For this reason, we were forced to remove the functionality from SeeYou and Oudie / Oudie Live apps. Hoping that this is just a temporary...
