I was having a lovely wave flight at 20,000, temperature -10C (in Cowley wave airspace) and called ATC for a further clearance. No response and didn't hear any other transmissions. Tried an AWOS freq and heard nothing. Stayed within wave airspace and descended while seeking sunshine to warm up....

Anyone aware of a damaged Krosno KR-03A sailplane? Need a part from the left wing.

Ok - this one is for all of you flight computer savvy guys in US-glider land because I for sure am at the end of my whits. Here is the set-up: I bought a used LX7007Compact. This is the one which does not have its own GPS receiver, so it needs an external source. I also do have a PowerFLARM core...

The orginal paper published 74 1 JULY 2016 • VOL 353 ISSUE 6294 sciencemag.org SCIENCE has a lot more information. For example, their observed L/D was 23.6-19.1 between 500-700 m, but 14.3-11.7 at higher altitudes. I'm still trying to figure out how they stay aloft at night. A Tasty...

Back in 1955 Walt Cannon learned to fly gliders at the Schweizer Soaring School in Elmira. As was common then, he soloed in a 2-22. After a time, Bernie Carris decided he was ready for a single seat glider and put him in the then new 1-26. He was the first "kid" to fly a 1-26. Recently I found out...

I'm at the informational gathering stage of a future glider purchase. I have been to a few websites for new gliders and I see "design life" data. Do all gliders have a design life and after that life limit is exceeded, then what?
