Soaring in Portugal by Peter Kelemen
I am going to be in Portugal from September 2 until September 17. It would be great to be able to visit a soaring site and even better to be able to fly. I speak Spanish and understand Portuguese some time... Any information would be most welcome. Peter Kelemen

Artificial Horizon – HELP! by Mike Mike Ground

Oxygen by Jim[_18_]
http://www.inogenaviator.com/products.html This oxygen system looks interesting but is only certified to 15k and battery life is only 6 hours. It would be nice to do away with filling bottles. Does anybody know of any other systems available or on the horizon that would be more useful to glider...

Any IPAD App designers out there? by lanebush
It sure would be nice to have an IPAD app to keep track of glider times on the flight line. Maybe a clock at the top with the ability to log launch and landing times for multiple gliders and pilots simultaneously while showing elapsed time in the air for each flight etc.... Sure would beat our...
