Yesterday I noticed that someone was having trouble running a NASR database query on my website centered on Palo Alto, using a .CUP turnpoint file from Hollister. The problems had to do with some unexpected slight irregularities in the uploaded .CUP file. Today I made my website a little more...

Hello, All, I'm very happy to announce that my club now has a Piper Pawnee. It has a 260hp engine, Hutchinson conversion and a Tost tow hook. It's gone through a long rejuvenation process with all new electrical system, glass, radio, transponder, lights, strobe and encoder. Despite flying in the...

After my gold distance flight in the Cherokee the locals I met gave me the email address for the local newspaper editor. They've got a weekly paper so I submitted an article with a few pictures. I thought it turned out pretty well. made the front...

Just a heads up for any pilots heading to the US Sports Class Nationals in southern Utah next week. The upcoming weekend weather looks likely to be pretty showery with a good chance of thunderstorms over the mountains - not usually a good sign for great soaring from Parowan. The good news is that...

I flew a TAT today at the Cordele, Ga USA contest, and as I always do I opened my flight in SeeYou 3.95 for analysis. Except this time it showed a 'photo landing' between the 2nd and 3rd turn areas, and there seems to be no way to get rid of it. I have been using SeeYou for at least 8 years, and...

......sailplane in the sport performance range of an LS-4, ASW-24, LS-6 or ASW-20. Looking for long term lease a plane for the next 2/3 years. Daughter in grad school stops an outright buy. My background is in soaring since 1975, one of the first to fly from Ridge Soaring when it first opened....

Hi Gang After 10 years of good soaring in my Stemme S10-VT I have finally decided to sell her. What were the highlights? Well I think the longest and most difficult flight was a return soar from Parowan to Minden with a 25 knot headwind in near blue sky conditions - I got as low as 2,000 feet agi...

My local newspaper ran the following article about soaring. http://www.millercountyliberal.com/news/2010-05-12/Community/Flying_without_an_engine_is_fun_and_challenging.html The article is a little disjointed when viewing online but it read very well in the newspaper. It held the prominent...

I was trying to work out the expected height gain from a pull up Experienced glider pilots say you will get a better pull up with a heavier glider / water etc. But I can't see this from my (probably incomplete) equations: total energy = potential energy + kinetic energy total energy before pull...

All - My DG-300's CG hook needs replacement (Tost p/n 028500, a right-hand side-mount, a "G-88" I believe). Unfortunately I've been told that there are none in-stock in the USA, and shipping from Germany is going to take several weeks. I have a contest coming up in just a couple of weeks, so...

It's been awhile since I've been in contact with most of the glider community! Hello everyone!! I'll be doing a bit of a complicated move with my own trailers to get ready to enter the Air Force. The result is that I will have an empty hitch starting 8/22 and making the following routes: 1) Saint...
