Fixed vs All Flying tail by Kevin Neave
Apart from the *better* handling of a fixed tailplane, is there any aerodynamic advantage of a fixed tail/elevator over an all flying tail? I can't help feeling that when the stick's not in the middle the fixed tail/elevator looks less efficient (And I used to prefer the light stick forces and...

Re; will I fit? by Andy Davey
I'd disagree with the DG100 rating. I'm also 6'4' and in the fat B@#$%^d category, with long legs, big feet, and shortish torso. I tried one once, and had probs with canopy, and also footspace(nose too narrow) It did have a sheepskin seat cover though, which may have made a bit of difference. I...

Will I fit? by c hinds
I am 6'3" 205 lbs. and currently shopping for a sailplane. I fit OK in the SGS-1-26, 2-33, Puchacz and can squeeze into a Grob 102 with about 1/2" of clearance to the canopy. What about Libelle, ASW-15b, DG100, Standard Cirrus, Jantus B ? You know, all of those "other" sailplanes. Any and all...

When to speak up....? by Gary Boggs
Our tow pilot crashed our Wilga yesterday at dusk. He was coming in with the flaps down and the power pulled back. At about 200ft he decided his descent rate was too great and pulled the flaps up. He said he was too slow but never added power and the high rate of descent continued right into...

Pellet Variometer wanted by Mark James Boyd
I'd love to get my hands on one or two pellet variometers. Mostly for training purposes, but will probably go in an (older) sailplane. I've read about Cosim, Robinson, Pfeiffer, and Makiki pellet varios. If anyone has comments about these quaint devices, or some they'd like to part with for an...

Shawn--from Mac by Mackfly
Bela sent me an e-mail about the 'new" tow plane at Salida. I also saw the post in this news group. The club has been talking about maybe doing western Nebraska this year instead of the mountains. Not decided yet. One of our guys bought a Russia and may want to bring it to Salida. I'm not sure...

Cambridge "V" by JJ Sinclair
Hi Gang, When I page up on my Cambridge GPS, I get a "V" for velocity or groundspeed. My question is: Is this always displayed in Knots, even though I programed it to use MPH? This same signal is fed to my B-100 via the NMEA cable and displayed in MPH & Track on page 2 of the Borgelt B-100. Mike,...

Commercial - New PDA Cradle Options by Paul Remde
Hi, I have made significant updates to my Cumulus Soaring Supplies web site to highlight some new PDA cradle options. RAM has introduced some new "powered" PDA cradles which have an integral 12V to 5V power converter. These are a nice option if you have a PDA that doesn't fit into my standard...

SSA National Convention, every year, every other? by Jim Culp
Questions of costs and benefits, and preferences: Who benefits from annual SSA national convention? Do glider and electronics vendors benefit by annual show, vs the cost to them to go? Can you, vendor, afford to go annually and is it cost/benefit

Sparrowhawk/Apis for rent by John
Was following the Sparrowhawk thread and like the post concerning sponsering a glider at a contest to gain exposure. A perhaps better idea would be for Sparrowhawk, Apis, Silent, etc. to loan a glider to the big soaring sites (Bermuda High, Seminole Lake, Minden, Turf, etc.). That way many people...
