A unique weather pattern has set up, resulting in very strong S to SSE flow in the central and eastern Appalachians. A number of gliders operating out of Blairstown are attempting speed tasks. Bill Thar (BT) flying a Duckhawk is visible on the SSA Tracker site. He appears to be almost to his...

I've connected my Oudie2 to LXnav V7 with cable supplied but no information is transferred to the LXnav. I setup to receive data from PDA and have checked menu on Oudie and V7 but still no data. Can anyone help.

I took the USAF training program at Beal many years ago. Does the Air Force still offer the program or has it gone the way of all good things in budget cuts? I know the FAA offers it in Oklahoma city. I am taking an Instrument ground school and the others wanted to know if it was still...

Hello All, I am giving a presentation about soaring to the local EAA chapter tomorrow. I would like to educate the local power pilots about what we do as a glider club as well as what gliders are capable of doing, while providing entertaining anecdotes along the way. I have a keynote, and...

I have just acquired a Toshiba tablet and was hoping to use it as means to transfer log files to OLC. Seems that there is a problem between the files I now successfully put on a flash drive and use my laptop to send to OLC; something to do with the tablet working on a different format. Bearing in...

So, my understanding is that as a general rule in flying, the further aft the centre of gravity, the less drag. This is because as the centre of gravity moves further ahead of the centre of lift, the higher the torque that must be counteracted by the horizontal stabilizer generating downforce. If...

Not to be confused with the Soaring Hall of Fame for which nominations were just requested... Though some FLARM installations perhaps deserve nominations there too! I've recently received a lot of requests for the FLARM Antenna Hall of Shame advice, but sadly the original web page got trashed. Urs...

The 2014 Nephi OLC meet is now in the logbook. And what a great event this thing is. Bruno Vassel has this vision and he is making it happen, and what a great vision it is. The Great Basin has some of the best soaring conditions in the world and the best part is that if you live in the USA you can...

My Becker AR3201 which has a serial #1934 which is pretty close to the year when it was produced :) worked so well until last week. The problem is the it is no out putting to the speaker - I can talk but can't listen. Seems to work spotty especially when the battery is fully charged. Anyone...

Decided to cross post this for discussion... Walt Rogers WX Here's the Sat imagery, Radar for the last day at Nephi. The plus plots are the TP database. The label for the plot points is mangled due to a bug in the program. Here are two radar loops from MTX (Salt Lake City radar): One is...

Let's hear it for the STDs and 15M ships! Last Sat 08/09/2014, they took most of the top six places in the U.S. ranging from 643km to 881km. I was the top flight declaring and completing a 750km triangle in my Discus 2A; followed by Marty Eiler - ASW-27; Peter Deane - LS-8; David Greenhill -...

Does anyone know the full length (front of trailer tongue to back) of a 15m Cobra trailer. Thanks in advance. Sean

Great news today from the head of SOAR (Save Our Allegheny Ridges) that one of the two proposed wind farms on Jacks Mt. has been halted. This project would have put a hurt on soaring at Mifflin. Here's the posting: Dear Friends, We hope you will attend our next Friends of Jacks Mtn. meeting on...
