Hi, I've updated my RAM web page with some suggestions for mounts for a few GPS flight recorders. http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/ram.htm Good Soaring, Paul Remde

Ok Dave, if you watch this sight as you say. I sent a reply to your e-mail twice, and it was returned as undeliverable. What gives here? Brian Glick

Common knowlege about Glider wing designs says that a high taper ratio will lead to Wing tip stalls. However in our flights and research we have found that a straight or forward swept flying wing will not stall a wing tip despite the very narrow chord ( renolds numbers of 325,000) and lack of...

Friends: I'm getting near the point where I need to start thinking about hearing aids. I would like to get any information from instructors on this list as to what aids or systems they have found to be best when instructing from the rear seat of a two place glider. TIA Roy B.

Hello, Does anyone know a resource where i could find airfoil coordinates for (more) modern composite gliders. I understand that many of the currently competetive sailplane manufacturers would have very closley guarded data on their airfoils but i may get lucky. The most modern data i can find is...

Congratulations Doug. This is an important step for all glider pilots. Enjoy the ride.jeff

My dual input ( 12 VDC & 115 VAC) battery charger died on me last summer. Does anyone know of a replacement? I would be satisfied with just a 12 VDC input for a 12V 7-10 Ah Powersonic Battery. Mike Green _____ | `-----------( )-----------'

Someone please help me identify and locate the fellow whose glider's instrument glare shield sported PepBoy Mirrors. This glider was displayed in Atlanta near the doors -- to the right side as you leave. Thanks!

Not sure where the message got to that pointed out the link to the video "A Fine Week of Soaring." Just got my DVD. Very nice, especially for a novice like me to sit in the back seat with a real pro in a wide range of soaring conditions. Removes some of the mystery about competition as...

I know it's not of much interest to others but I had a blast ! Today was my first flight in a single place (G102). Actually first two flights. First flight was 3000' foot tow followed by slow flight, stalls with and without spoilers, turning stall, slips, etc. Second flight was about 1.5 hours...

Hello, One of our clubs members just bought a PW-2 Gapa. He is one of our clubs (TBSS-Tampa Bay Soaring Society) CFI-G's. Weather did not permit soaring last week. But we are hoping to get the Gapa soaring this weekend. Any of the Pilots on R.A.S have any stick time in the PW-2 Gapa? We would...

Has anyone had experience using a Cessna 172 XP with either the 190 or 210 HP engine as a Tow Plane? How about the Cessna 150/150? Tom Idaho

After hearing some hair-raising storied of difficult spin recovery on the Siren C30S Edelweiss, I would like to ask this forum: Does anyone have the official (or otherwise) procedure for exiting a spin in this aircraft. Just a hint: with the V tail and mixer, full rudder with stick forward is not...
