I am in need of the control hatch cover for the top of the fuselage for my '20. I have put a plea out on the ASW-20 Yahoo group as well. Anyone know if the cover for a '19 would work as well? Any leads appreciated. Gary Adams 'GB'

Looks like surface winds at 6 kts up to 47 kts at 18,000' MSL, all pretty much perpendicular to the mountains. Hope there's enough thermal activity to climb into the wave... ;-P

These amazing vehicles really are undersea gliders. Link to NyTimes article: http://nyti.ms/17Q0j7V Quote from the article: "There are several models of submersible research drones on the market, but the Gliderpalooza fleet consists of propellerless Slocum Gliders, designed by the Teledyne Webb...

Time for a new laptop and it looks like many of the desirable choices (for me) include Windows 8 64 bit. Are there problems running any of the legacy apps we use in soaring. I tried searching here and on Naviter forums but found little useful information. So, any experience, good or bad will help...

Hello All, Been off RAS for awhile dealing with work stuff (instead of glider-flying, darnit). Now that we're entering the buying/selling season I am cranking up my efforts to acquire an ASW-27. If you know of a good bird that's not being flown, please let me know! If you have a '27 and need...

Seems to me, that a safe and fair way to start a glider race is to climb out the top of a start cylinder. To make starting out the top an option that most pilots would choose, the top of the cylinder should be about 1000 to 1500 feet below cloud base and 2000 to 3000 feet above release height. I...

There has been some speculation on RAS in the last few days about an IGC approved Oudie. Today, Naviter announced the new Oudie IGC at: http://www.naviter.com/2013/11/announcing-oudie-igc/ The Oudie IGC is based on collaboration between Naviter and LX Nav and features the large internal battery...

Does anyone know a good thorough A&P in northwestern PA that knows gliders? I'm looking to purchase a glider and I would like every nut and bolt checked. Thanks!

Just a few summer memories playing in the Duo near Tioga Pass in the Sierra. Now that the cold wx is upon us, something to look forward to for next summer. Best watched in HD. Gordo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpEmWs-2SIE

I advise you to go to the FAA website and look up your N-number to see when your aircraft registration expires. Then set a reminder for yourself 4 months before the expiration date to download form AC Form 8050-1B, fill it out and mail it in with the $5.00 fee The FAA is not sending out the...
