Hey guys im taking a computer science class on data structures and algorithms. I wanna do something glider related for my final project. I was thinking about trying to see if there is a pattern between average vario for a task and Xc speed. However, I have no clue how how to obtain such data from...

I have it on pretty good authority that Mojave is the place to be tomorrow, if you want to see a really big glider go really, really high..... N202VG. The fellow who pays the bills was hosting dinner in the same cafe where I was served tonight. Pretty cool, since I got to watch the first three...

My PCAS MRX went TU a few weeks ago. Since ZAON has been out of business since mid 2013, does anyone have a resource for getting it repaired? Thanks, Evan, LS1-f

Recently, the Greater Houston Soaring Association has been donated an ASW 15 and a Libelle. Both are in *bad* shape. The ASW 15 was flooded in Houston during hurricane Harvey. The Libelle was left out in the elements for many years. Just putting this out there in case someone needs one of these...

Our club bought a 1-26 and it came without the ballast arrangement for lightweight pilots. So we are looking for such, at least the box that holds the ballast (we have the "brick" itself available in our 2-33, presumably the same). Anybody got that part sitting around from a wrecked 1-26 or 2-33?

So, who's going to build the first glider app with flutter? https://flutter.io/

Does anyone out there have a serviceable RH L-33 aileron? Thanks!
