Would someone get in touch with the scorer at the 1-26 Nationals and see if he can't add a "total" column to the score sheet. The contact email address on the contest website is missing. Thanks R

Hi All I'm looking for any scans/pdf's of this series of articles which defined the handicapping of gliders particularly in the US. Apparently the articles were published in Free Flight , and before that in PASCO's West Wind in 1998 or thereabouts. Wondering if anyone out there has copies or...

I can't pull up the new waypoint file. When I start XCSoar, it does not show two profiles for the two waypoint lists I have up-loaded. Does that mean that the new waypoint file is not loaded correctly, or can I select the new waypoint list via another screen?

Our very own FAA Designated Examiner has departed for warmer climes, and we are now left with a very real problem of getting checkrides for our upcoming new pilots. We have explored (and continue to explore) the 'Sport Pilot' option, but we are also looking around for other DE's in the area. ...

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...

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

You’ve probably seen the sign in a repair shop that reads something like: “Fast Job, Cheap Job, or a Good Job; - choose any two”. I am happy to share with you that there is one shop where all three are available, Mike Robinson’s at Tom Knauff's Ridge Soaring in PA. The Freedom’s Wings Canada Grob...

Thanks Robert for the nice summary. Also one should mention the shrinkage that will normally follow with the broad areas of bonding paste, which (depending on post-cure handling) may lead to expensive refinish for a relatively new glider... Best Regards, Dave "Robertmudd1u"...

The Kiwis seem to have worked out how to capture the race using helicopters to gapture the gaggles on film and GIS systems to predict thermals etc. In this day and age of advanced met and digital technology... Will it ever make it to the podiums? Tried this post on UK RAS and got zero replies....

Hi, I just want to use this forum to thank Adam Schneider, the guy behind GPS Visualizer, for providing this fantastic tool - for free! As you might have noticed, we used it on the homepage of the World Gliding Championships 2006 to display IGC-files both in Google Maps, Google Earth and as...

Just received a note from Rage Battery that the Power Sonic PS-1270 12V 7AH is on sale through next week for $8.95 A good oppotunity to swap out your old ones, and maybe even buy a few extra for the club. OC

There's an idea for the Juniors to take up....this side of the pond
