So the Discus 2 is 20 years old this year. by
Paul T[_4_]
Makes you wonder it all that time why there hasn't been a better
performing Standard Class machine. Have we reached the limits of modern
unflapped aerodynamics, or is simply that there is no perceived demand for
a new standard glass glider and therefore not economic to produce?

LS6b and D (seperately) ittel FSG2T by
Dan M
I recently purchased an LS6B and was hoping for some assistance working the kinks out of it before flying.
The canopy comes up and cocks off to (I think) the left. I was told this can be "shimmed." Indeed there were two rather large "nuts" near the base of the canopy that appear to adjust this....

Glider on ESPN at German Gran Prix by
[email protected]
Anyone else catch the Glider thermalling low over Hockenheimring yesterday morning, during German Gran Prix free practice 2?
Kudos to Paul di Resta of ESPN for knowing and explaining to the viewers how the glider uses the hot air rising up off the the track.

Capacity flask sizes for older PZL and Winter varios. by
[email protected]
One of the varios just failed in my older glider. The Winter 5m/s is kaput. There's also a 1m/s unit that appears to be working. Both are from 1963.
A friend gave me a PZL 10kt unit that appears to be working. He can't remember what it came out of.
Anyone have specs on these older units? I would...

Wgc's by
Paul T[_4_]
What is disappointing is how the new handicaps have played out in Club
Class - now to be competitive it looks like you need to buy a ship costing
at
least 10k more than you would have had previously. Way to go FAI with
your constant efforts to turning soaring into a 'rich persons sport',...

Sorry to report my dear friend Ray Galloway (papa one) checked out (peacefully) last night. I talked with him a couple of days ago. He said he was "ready", but it is still hard on his friends and family. Ed Byars

If you are a pilot with a US license living in Europe and would like to be able to fly here without converting your license or spending a ton of money to bring a glider from the US, I have a classic Aer Pegaso M100S standard class Italian glider for sale, US registered, standard airworthiness....

Flarm data on iglide by
[email protected]
Is there a configuration file that I need to make the contest numbers show up with the flarm data in iGlide? I see the traffic, altitude, etc, but I’m getting the ICAO designator instead of the contest number. I believe you have to configure the displays separately from the core, but does...

Dream Panel by

As you may already know, I am ordering a new ASH31Mi. I am in the process of coming up with the panel layout and instrument selection. I would love to here from other pilots what they consider to be their dream panel (cost is not an issue).

Locating device mounting by
[email protected]
Recent descriptions of the Nephi accident are driving me to rethink my decision about location of my Spot in the ship.
I have had it mounted on the canopy frame to try to get the best view of the sky for tracking. It kind of gets in the way a little when on the chute harness.
My assumption has been...

ASW-20C by
Charles Longley
I purchased a 1/2 share of an ASW-19 this year and have really enjoyed it! Long term I’ve determined I would like an ASW-20C possibly an ASW-27.
Is there an ASW-20 group online? Does anyone know of an ASW-20C not being flown right now? (In the US)
Thanks!
