Spring cleaning... Ipaq 3850 with WinPilot Pro 9.11 (licensed, transferable, upgrade to current version for $49). All works, looks great. Transflective screen is readable in full sun. I used this for a couple of seasons, kept it as a backup. $100 for this beautiful piece of antique technology....

I can't find anything on the 'Net, but I can tell from Google Maps that there's a gliding operation there, looks like maybe one or two winches. Is more information about the operation available? ted/2NO

I recently purchased the Cambridge system that was offered for sale by Fernando Silva. It is an L-Nav GPS-Nav with a vario and has the compaq 1550 running Glide Nav. I have since changed my mind and would like to sell it. I only opened the box when it arrived and it appears to be in the condition...

With the explosion of PNA's/Tablets on the market and the availability of powerful soaring software that can run on them, it would seem that some sort of air-data pack could be developed that would allow a PNA to get pitot/static information for accurate wind and STF info. I know this is available...

Ran accross this nice clip on YouTube posted by the Bacchus Marsh Soaring group in Australia. At 3:11, a wing-mounted camera shows a glider I can't identify. It looks like a side-by-side glass ship with a conventional tail. Just curious what that glider is. Thanks, GM

Based on the pilot feedback received during the comment period, the final proposed changes to the US competition rules for 2012 are now posted via a link on the Rules and Process page ( http://www.ssa.org/myhome.asp?mbr=6310235857 ) or can be accessed directly here (...

Currently configured as remotely piloted but just remove a couple of million dollars worth of wiring and these new and near new Rolls-Royce turbofan powered Northrop Grumman motorgliders could serve in either a single, two or even three place configuration. Perfect for your commercial sailplane...

Is anyone exploring this device. http://www.mirasoldisplays.com/koobe Not sure how to get one, since they're only being sold in the Korean market, but it looks like an intriguing option. Cheers, Craig --

I hate to bring this up again...but I must. I have learned this morning that XCSoar is to be banned from US soaring competitions. In fact our rules committee is apparently planning to also ban all free, open source applications because they "feel" they cannot control whether these applications may...

Some observations: OLC: Get in your glider and go as far as you can, as fast as you can. Start whenever you want. Turn in your file and you’re done. Before the flight you look at the weather and plan to use it to maximize your flight distance within the given local & conditions. 1000+...
