Tried to get some info via the 'Gladiators' thread w/no luck... Are any efforts underway to get Gladiators broadcast? If so, how can we support those efforts. If not, who has some connections we can leverage?

I am participating in the rebuild/repair of an early Nimbus 2. The serial number is in the range 40 to 50. It is definitely a Nimbus 2 not Nimbus 2a. The fligth manual that we have does not give details of the flap deflection at the intermediate settings only the full deflections. The data sheets...

After reading an article in Kiwi Gliding by Ben Flewett regarding the CAA and their ruling on finish heights, the whole "gladiators of the sky" DVD has to be looked at again, with a different understanding of the rules, and how NOT to break them! Would Mr Flewett please ( I know he is a RAS poster)...

Hi all, My sources have told me that today's task at Mifflin is a 4 hour TAT: Bloomsburg, Nisbet Bridge, Mifflintown, Tall Pines, all with 15 mile circles. The nominal distance is 220 miles. At grid time it was blue, but with an immature golden eagle circling overhead, pilots were optimistic about...

I just heard from Tim (EY) that the launch was underway at Mifflin (about 11:30 Eastern time.) I wasn't where I could write the task down, so all I can report is that the task is a 4 hour MAT with a first turnpoint of Lockhaven and then a bunch of other places, with Mifflin as the as last assigned...

Mifflin day 3. It was another beautiful, and of course very interesting, day at the sports class nationals. We grid early, on the fear of strong crosswinds. They don't materialize, so we launch into ridge lift at 11:30. The sky is overcast, but is forecast to break up and maybe even go blue by the...

Hello All- Sorry to bother with this kinda question. A lost friend of mine was a pilot and when I googled his name, it came up in an e-mail response to a question in this group. If any of you might know Stuart Schwartz, would you please pass this onto him. I knew him in California, but I know he...
