I have people ask me about gliding all the time. I always send them to the http://www.letsgogliding.com/ site and forward them links for Bruno Vassel or Balleka videos on YouTube. Does anyone else have any favorite sites that they send people to in order for them to get interested in gliding?

Has anyone trid running SeeYou on a Linux computer? Robert Danewid ASW 28-18E RD

Apparently, there are a few people out there working with Linux for gliding applications. (Thanks for the links) Maybe it's a good thing. I keep thinking that the potential user base in this space is so small that if the PDA based apps split it, there won't be all that much profit to support a...

Hi, it's still winter with lousy weather in the northern hemisphere, so it is time to warm up an old discussion. I searched the forum for threads reg. Lithium-Polymer Batteries and there have been none for a while. Here are the questions: - Does anyone have real life experience with LiPo's in a...

Has anyone adopted the K2 brand lithium as a ship battery? Praise or Problems? the reduced weight appeals to me. Scott.

Lippmann in Germany reports a winch launch to 950 meters (3100'). http://www.lippmann.de/hoistline.htm Has anyone heard of a higher launch? Bill Daniels

Here's a list of questions about restoring an ASW-15B model. How expensive is it to tint a canopy? What about hinging it? The old metal Ben Greene trailer sure could use some struts/hydraulic to help open and close the lid. It's really heavy. Anything to assist in opening it?

Hi Is it possible to use a free software, LK 8000 or X/C soar...etc with a Oudie 2 lite. Thank you Gilles

After a long trip towing my glider I was going thru the cockpit and on the floor I discovered a Lithium battery in a black plastic holder on the floor near the instrument panel, (I hate when that happens). The battery is about th same size as a AA and i have no idea where is came from or goes. No...

Although the technology is still pricy vs lead-acid batteries, the power/weight/size vs cost equation is getting better. Anybody using lithium model airplane packs bundeled to produce 12 - 14 v @3 - 6 amps as a power source for their glider? (I have been looking at the duralite site ... I'm sure...

I may be spreading unfounded rumors, but the latest one is that Joe Stazneck has passed away. He would have been around 97 and had been a glider pilot since his teens. Joe began by hanging from kites with his brother and Irv Culver in the San Bernardino, CA area. In more recent years he was a...

I'm being promoted and moved to Clovis, NM. I had thought I would end up in Amarillo or Albuquerque, but the boss said it's Clovis. I flew out of Littlefield in the early '90s in a Region 10 contest, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Is that club, I think it's Caprock Soaring, still active? If not, what...

I just found out about a double fatality K7 crash in Littlefield, Tx about a month ago. How did this go unnoticed? http://lubbockonline.com/local-news/2013-04-01/feds-investigating-fatal-glider-crash-littlefield#.UYHLf0qcPTo Apparently, one wing snapped off after releasing from tow.

Live Now - Live coverage of the Sailplane Grand Prix in Sisteron, France. Cool!!! http://sgp.aero/ I think that today is a practice day, but it is still fun to watch. Many of the world's best sailplane racers are competing. Exciting! Paul Remde

Greetings all! This is my first post to the forums and I come with a rather unusual proposition. Beginning on June 7th (20 days from this post), I will begin a road trip of epic proportions. The goal is to reach all 50 states in 50 days and I intend to live stream as much of the journey as...

https://www.redbullxalps.com/live-tracking.html Race is on. On the ground due to the weather. One thing to notice, if you aren't willing to watch paragliders race, with one of the best media machines pushing it. No one(outside of sailplane pilots) is going to be willing to watch sailplanes race,...
