I bought my second Std. Libelle, s/n 593 so it is a balasted ship ex-factory. A 201B. It has waterbags, the dumplever but no valve in the wheel well and no holes in the bulkhead behind the seat and the wheel well. Not a trace of it... It has seen extensive damage the two years after it was...

That used to own my DG-600 lives in Texas or did. Anybody know how I can get ahold of him?

Kudos to Tony Smit, FBO of Benz Aviation, Ionia, MI, for hosting a youth camp and soloing nine new glider pilots! Way to go, Tony!

Semi's in the rear view mirror look bigger than glider trailers, especially when approaching fast and sliding sideways. Everybody's ok, but unfortunately I need a trailer, rudder, and RV. Anybody know of a 15M Cobra or similar trailer available, hopefully in the SE? Glider is a Ventus B with 15...

I posted the hrrrx model thermal heights map from the 12Z run at: http://bit.ly/UvaldeNats17_WeatherBoard Look into the HRRR folders for Wednesday Low top CB and light showers developing again just east of UVA to SAT area... then an outlflow boundary killing lift after 5-6pm. Not as pervasive as...

Our club needs to do a weight and balance on our Grob 103 after refinishing and some other mods. We are wanting to use calibrated/certified scales, but the cost of having it weighed or purchasing a set of scales is quite high.. What have others done to get their W&B completed yet not break the...

Working on my vacation request for next year. Wondering about any other contest dates for next year that are not on the SSA page yet. Thanks Kevin 92

In another thread, some folks mention flying with these "light sensitive" glasses. I have a pair, but find I must use clip-ons while driving, as the glasses apparently react to UV, and the car's windows filter most of it. I have also found that same effect, though a bit milder in the sailplane. ...

Hi, All the discussion on r.a.s. about small video camera systems was very interesting. Certainly having more people capturing the fun of soaring on video should help promote our wonderful sport. I have therefore decided to sell and support the Replay XD family of video cameras and...

Does anyone have any experience with loading turnpoint data into the Zander SR940 flight computer? I have successfully loaded turnpoints into the Zander Flight Recorder but cannot get the SR940 flight computer to read them from teh Zander flight recorder. When I get my PC directly to the SR940...

Here is to wishing you all glider pilots a safe 2011 soaring season, 12+ knot thermals and endless cloud streets at 18,000 ft. Cheers, Charles

Anyone know of a source for a tinted vent window? The canopy originally came from Thermotec, but they don't return calls or e-mail. Thanks in advance, Roger

Can anyone tell me whether one must pay property tax on a glider in Colorado? If so, how is it calculated? There was a thread on this a couple of years ago; looking for recent data. Thanks.

A number of the current threads talk about winching in the US. As this is fairly new to the US, and old hat in Europe, it might be useful for European readers to offer tips to US clubs who are thinking of trying it. My tips would be: 1. A 3,000 ft run is enough, but 3.5-4k ft is better. 3k ft...
