She has her original Gel coat, which is in very good condition. The flaps give good slow speed handling in...

So long by Ian

No more, though - my Pirat went off to a new home today and I am now officially an ex glider pilot ... for the next few years I plan to concentrate on sailing. I'd...

UPDATE: Great Thermal Soaring SW U.S. - 4th July Weekend by WaltWX
Hi Jim, Today, Fri 07/01 was the first day of a building warm core high pressure aloft. Traditionally, there's a lot of subsidence capping inversions which makes it very poor day. Noted a flight out of Bishop where the best altitude on the Whites was only about 13,500 with a lot of close ridge...

Podcasts? by Bullwinkle
There was a flurry of posts in the couple of weeks prior to the Convention about getting podcasts of sessions using cell phones. Can I assume by the silence since then that this did not come to fruition? Thanks, Bullwinkle

Libelle Wings by Steve Leonard
'If the comment that 'any 201 can be retrofitted with a B stamp' is really true...' I think that is implying that any 201 can have the ballast system added, and the flight manual revised to show the higher gross weight permitted with water ballast. My machine is having troubles openning...

Emergencies on aerotow by [email protected]
You cannot teach safety in paragraph-long sound bites. Unlike a high percentage of glider pilots, if you want to be a safe pilot, you need to educate yourself. How many launching emergencies are there? All pilots automatically think of rope breaks. Believe it or not, 41 emergencies are listed,...
