Hey guys! My girlfriend comes from Guatemala and we're going there in a few months. Since we're staying there for 3 months, I of course, have to find a soaring centre, which I was unable to using google. Does anyone of you know a spot there maybe? Would appreciate a contact as well. Thanks for...

For any interested parties, here are the URLs for real-time SPOT tracking maps for the Region 10 South contest at Brenham, Tx. Google Maps -...

Does anyone know where we can get an SB-8 serviced in the US? Sending it to Germany appears to be the only option, but I wanted to check here to see if anyone knows of a domestic alternative. Thanks

I posted this on a few other aviation forums. Got the Cherokee out into some of those booming kansas thermals today. I didnt think the stats for the trip were too shabby for a 23:1 glider flying most of the flight below 2500 AGL. Weather was forecast to be decent, although there was a strong...

I'm not a frequent reader of rec.aviation.soaring, so at the risk of asking a common question, I'll pose my question. I fly cross country here in the meaty middle (cheesy middle? ;)) part of the US-- mostly Wisconsin, often Minnesota, sometimes Iowa, Illinois, South Dakota, Michigan. I often land...

ASW 27's and Ventus 2B's are are both 15 meter (flapped) and sailplanes -- nice ones at that! Should they be considered equivalents or are there reasons to prefer one over the other (based on performance, handling, price, niceness, holding value, maintainability, availability, etc., etc.)? Are...

All, So in some of the recent discussions with SPOT about their upcoming products, they tell me that they have indeed surveyed their users about whether they would like to have altitude outputted. They have not (yet) told me how much extra it would have cost, but they said that the majority of...

I've often found myself wishing for a Sailplane Buyer's Guide (hey, I can dream can't I?). It would compare manufactures, models, flapped vs. non-flapped, comparitive polars, pilot satisfaction scores, flight reviews, safety track record, etc., etc. The closest resources I've found a -...

Hi, I have just updated my web site with details on the new SPOT 2. It has some nice improvements over the original SPOT. It will be available on Oct. 20th, 2009. http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/spot.htm Best Regards, Paul Remde

Last month, I posted here about a huge gap on my SPOT messenger track, with an hour and a half between two fixes. My previous "record" was about 40 minutes, which is why this seemed so strange, especially since I wasn't banked steeply almost that whole time. (I was flying from the Bay Area to Lake...

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...
