Needwood Forest Gliding Club by
Rob Shepherd
Has anyone flown from there or been a member?
I'm thinking of moving clubs for a couple of reasons but thought I'd see
if anyone had any views on here before I go take a look.
Cheers
Rob

Jim[_18_]
Does any body have a glider main wheel dolly for sale?
I have an automotive dolly that a friend modified for me but car
dollie rollers sit too high and squeeze the tire. Would like to be
able to roll the glider around the hangar.
Thanks,
Jim

IGC file viewer by
Phil
I have written a simple IGC to KML converter to playback flights on
Google Earth.
It plays back at about 10 times real speed. Thermalling is a little
hard to watch. Running in straight lines is OK.
