KA6E and Foka 4 comparable metal ships - Laister Nugget LP15 by Matthieu
Dear expert soaring pilots, What would be a nice metal equivalent of the KA6E or Foka 4? I am asking because those ships are 40+ years old now and I am concerned about the aging wood... Should I be concerned? Is there any relevant metal alternative to those ships? I would also be interested in...

JAR-22 should be accepted as Special Light Sport Aircraft standard by M B
I've been watching the Sport Pilot aircraft certification scene quite closely now, and as it fleshes out, I have some observations. The SLSA standards for airplane, weight shift, etc. which are published are hampering the development of SLSA for these categories due mostly to lack of familiarity.

Winpilot and Colibri Problems by ttaylor at cc.usu.edu
I am running a system that includes WinPilot running on an Ipaq 37XX series, Colibri GPS/logger and Borgelt B50. The system is very unstable and will usually only run for an hour at the most and often only a few minutes before it crashes or gives an error message. I get a "lost GPS signal" quite...

Altimeter settings: QNH versus QFE by [email protected]
I have a question for you CFIG's out the I recently moved to a "flat" state from a "mountainous" state and noticed that every glider pilot I have met and flown with in the "flat" state sets his altimeter to zero (a QFE setting) instead of field elevation. Back in my old stomping grounds, all...

The Euro's Heading Down by Mike the Strike
Since I reported the US dollar's drop against the Euro a few months ago, I am delighted to report a reversal. The US dollar is currently at 1.23 to the Euro and improving daily. A currency specialist tells me he expects a rate of 1.15 by year's end. Where it goes from there is anyone's guess,...

GPS interference testing by Howard Banks
When you call for Notams, as I understand it you must ask specifically if there is anything slated for GPS testing, otherwise you will not be told what's up. For those who want to see what can happen please look at my flght log for 16 May on OLC. The test not only screwed up the gps instrument, it...

LS8 tank vents by Flavio Formosa
My LS8 has 'root rib vents': can I put a wing on the ground after filling tanks without having water drip from the vent tubes? Manual states this is prohibited on LS8s fitted with 'winglet vents', but says nothing about my case. Thanks in advance, cheers Flavio

York and the OLC by Charles Petersen
Canadian Rockies Soaring Club blew us out of the water. That despite Bob Lepp's heroic efforts to almost single handedly defend our now lost 1st place in the club standings where we shined so briefly. But we're still in 2nd place! Wouldn't it be fun to have our pilots fly in the Rockies for...
