Source for Euro Trailer Jack & Bracket by
JohnDeRosa
I envy the cobra trailers with a jack that is removable. I can find the jack itself but does anyone know of a source for the bracket? This is the part/clamp that allows that jack to be removed. Anyone have a old rusty jack/bracket lying around?

WGC 2012 Day 5 18m Task? by
rlovinggood
The graphic for the 18m task for Day 5 shows an overlap between points 66 and 67. Is that okay because they have to fly to point 31 that comes between 67 and 66?
Thanks,
Ray

Glider Forums by
BQ
Are there any active glider/sailplane forums?
I'm familiar with several of the generic pilot forums (Pilots of America, AOPA, Purple Board, etc.), but is there anywhere to go in addition to this newsgroup for glider talk?

Paul Remde
Hi,
Today I experimented with time-lapse photography by taking a video of the
launches today on Day 4 of the WGC in Uvalde. I setup the camera to take 1
photo every second. It turned out OK. The towplanes and gliders go by a
bit fast.
