"FAI Combined" Class? by [email protected]
Hey all - I've been seeing this terminology around, such as for next month's Region 10, but it doesn't line up with the current rules - can anyone clarify what this means?

Its my understanding DG and Lange do not "finish" their sailplanes. What third party company does this for them?

"Flarm, no GPS" by jfitch
I am getting this bitching Betty alarm every so often. It may do it for a minute or so, then goes away, then comes again. Looking at the Flarm IGC file, there are comment lines that look like this: LFLA213757GPS 7 45 Which I believe represents GPS status (7 satellites?) Then I get some that...

"Grab A Glider" by Jack Hamilton
Northbound on US 101 in South San Francisco this morning, I caught a glimpse of a billboard with an electronic sign on the bottom. Unfortunately, I had been looking down at something (don't worry, I was a passenger) and by the time I looked up we were almost past the sign, but I did read "Grab a...

"Heads Up" to Good Soaring Conditions by Randy[_2_]
Unless you are closely watching the daily weather and know it trends, a lot of good soaring days are never taken advantage of. For those who watch the weather, they are rewarded with some great soaring. Oh how I wish that I could have joined all of the ridge flights last week out if Pennsylvania...

"High Temp" Tape? by Blue Whale
Is there a tape out there for sealing gaps on metal sailplanes that doesn't turn into a sticky mess after exposure to the sun and heat? Would be nice to have a somewhat permanent solution that only needs to be replaced a few times a year on gliders that sit outside assembled for the season.

Another "jet" in the news today in Arizona. Yves Rossy, the Swiss guy who has small wings with jets attached to his back, who drops out of a helicopter, starts the engines and flies around using his body and arms for control, and then lands under parachute, had planned a "flight" over the Grand...
