Does anybody know the file format used in XCsoar för waypoints and airspace? Robert H304 NS

1) "The spin is caused primarily by the position of the controls" - True, but spins can also be cause by external factors. 2) "...Stick in the aft stop is the 'Stall' position" - Not exactly true. It is true only with the wings level. It is possible to fly regularly in a thermal with the stick...

Howcum ya' never stop by for yer Soaring Roadtrip Tapes? Ya never call, ya never write, ya never shag glider trailers around here anymore. Where can I send some? Curt

During the last few months, several threads have discussed soaring possibilities on Mars, but what about Titan? The NASA probe Cassini, launched in 1997 will arrive in Saturn's orbit this summer, and will send a probe to land on Titan in January 2005. Titan is Saturn's largest moon. It is a...

Have just come across this brilliant little program for my IPAQ. Just what I have been looking for after my Palm died. Unfortunately cant find any documentation as I try to connect to my GPS CF2 card. Anyone able to point me in the right direction??

Charlie Minner fell while on the way to the SSA Convention in Atlanta and broke his femur above the knee. An operation to install a plate was successful and the doctors say he can expect about a four-day stay in the hospital. He was in Big Springs, TX when the accident occurred and he was taken...

Good news everyone... Starting in 2004, Winscore, the US soaring contest scoring program, will be an "open source" project. What this means is that the source code will be freely available to anyone in the soaring community. I will continue to provide a stable and supported version of the program....

A lousy end to what was a beautiful day of soaring, thanks to the USMC and my own lack of vigilance. Yesterday a cold front was bearing down on Phoenix. While in other parts of the country this makes for winter worries, here the front is a small band of cumulus and a very slight chance of virga....

I request response from any individual or club operators that fly gliders at a publicly funded, uncontrolled U.S. airport that has intersecting, concurrently active runways. I thank you in advance for your responses in this matter. Ray

How sad that this has become a double entendre of Joycean proportions. I have a question for Puchaz owners: Can you quote from the POH exactly what is said about spins? The Puch has become a favorite for spin training in some circles because of the ease with which a pilot can aggrevate the stall...

The value of the US dollar compared to the Euro has dropped 24% during the past year. Therefore the price of sailplanes manufactured in Europe has risen a corresponding 24%. In fact, a similar impact is being felt in all countries outside Europe. Will this end the purchase of new sailplanes by...

I started my Super Bowl Sunday afternoon with a tow to 3000'. Upon release I unlocked the gear lever and pulled it back firmly. About 1 inch short of the closed-position lock and still pulling hard, I gave up and started thermalling. I learned how to fly with the gear down, I can do it again. A...
