Currently configured as remotely piloted but just remove a couple of million dollars worth of wiring and these new and near new Rolls-Royce turbofan powered Northrop Grumman motorgliders could serve in either a single, two or even three place configuration. Perfect for your commercial sailplane...

There were some nice flights on the Pennsylvania ridges yesterday including a 700K by Ron Schwartz in a 1-26. http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0/gliding/daily.html?st=olcp&rt=olc&df=&sp=2012&c=US&sc=

Gliding enthusiasts, join the 99% in Minden, Nevada this June and send a message to the wealthy and greedy 1% that gliding is a universal right that cannot be abridged by any person or organization. The cruel convergence of income inequity, the breathtaking cost of gliders and equipment, and the...

Hey, group! There's a new version of SeeYou Mobile and Oudie ready for download from www.naviter.com with some new features and some stability/bug fixes. The US competitors will like the ability to start out the top of the cylinder while those who fly near the coast will like the much improved...

I am the owner of Pilatus B4AF D-3993 with serial 310, and have the papers to prove it. I was informed that someone from the UK is claiming to sell this glider. He wants a split payment. He used the picture of this B4, which I took and uploaded to Wikipedia. He claims the glider is stationed at...

It's almost the middle of April, just wondering... Kirk 66

How is it to fly in this club? Thinking becoming a member. What are line chiefs? is it require to help the line? Is the club open every Thursday, as well as week-ends? Thanks!

Hi, The new brighter Oudies will start shipping from Naviter on Monday, April 23rd. I have ordered many and will have extras in stock after I ship the 55 pre-ordered units - probably by next Friday. They are also now accepting original model Oudie units for upgrade. I will be sending batches...

Iam trying to persuade the syndicate to buya lx 9ooo, does anyone know about inputting tasks via the sd card, is it straight forward via a laptop or even a pda. I do know it is the same as the 8000 but that leaves me none the wiser

The "conv-lxn.exe" application I previously used to convert .LXN files to .IGC does not work with 64-bit Windows. I was unable to find any kind of upgrade or update at http://lxnavigation.si/. I am BACK IN THE AIR and have no way to prove it! ~ted/2NO

Posted on MedPageToday Did my MD thesis on high-altitude pulmonary edema - so follow med info on it. This might be something for glider pilots to consider - note the study was conducted in the Whites - I've been higger than the study altitudes when flying out of Minden. "If you long for a "Rocky...

With the explosion of PNA's/Tablets on the market and the availability of powerful soaring software that can run on them, it would seem that some sort of air-data pack could be developed that would allow a PNA to get pitot/static information for accurate wind and STF info. I know this is available...

In his lab at Penn, Vijay Kumar and his team build flying quadrotors, small, agile robots that swarm, sense each other, and form ad hoc teams -- for construction, surveying disasters and far more. If these things can keep from running into each other, why is it so hard to design and implement a...

What are the Pros and Cons of a soaring club becoming a 501(c)(3) operation? Our club has 25 members and growing. We own 3 gliders and a Piper Pawnee. We rent 2 hangars at a public airport for our equipment. Thanks for your time! Randy Teel Tulsa, OK

here is a video I took yesterday in ridge and wave lift. I am flying my Tetra-15 (HP-24) Brad http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpsqUJlBqLw&feature=youtu.be

Our Rowing Club here in Wichita has purchased a single place rowing shell in Murfreesboro, TN and are trying to figure out a way to get it here. Like Sailplanes, rowing shells are oddly shaped and a little difficult to transport around the country. A cartop rack is included so if your vehicle has...

Anyone have a source for flexible solar cel that would fit on /over a glare shield? Al

I'm interested in this relatively new transceiver (available since Oct 2011). http://mglavionics.com/html/radios.html Besides the usual features of active/standby frequency switching, 6 to 7 watt output, 10 to 30 volt input, you can label the memory channels with names and have ten groups with...

Did anyone happen to notice the OLC flights logged by Mark Rebholz in the WWII vintage Liaster-Kauffman glider out of Arizona on the 21st and 22nd? Great flights for such an old machine! Congratulations! Steve PS
