In this video, the guy is kiteboarding on the water. Normally when jumping, the max is about 50'. He gets caught in a thermal and ends up a few hundred feet up. Quite remarkable that he survived. http://www.kiteschool.net/mary_poppins.wmv Jim Vincent N483SZ

Hi all, I need your input on an issue that has led to an ongoing, heated debate ever since my son joined our soaring club at age 14. He begun taking lessons and soloed during a youth soaring camp organized by another club this summer. A small but vocal group of members are stricktly against youth-...

I am considering buying an AWS-17 - any opinions on this glider with regards to performance, handling, value for money etc? Comments will be greatly appreciated. Regards, Thomas Mærsk Copenhagen, Denmark.

Santa Claus, like all pilots, gets regular visits from the Federal Aviation Administration, and the FAA examiner arrived last week for the pre-Christmas flight check. In preparation, Santa had the elves wash the sled and bathe all the reindeer. Santa got his logbook out and made sure all his...

Our club's 1-34 (which we've owned since new) recently lost half the elevator when a wood piece broke on its open trailer. If anyone knows of a damaged 1-34 with an intact horizontal stabilizer, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks, Jeremy

I'll be staying in Chicago from Nov 5th to 8th (including the week-end). Is there any chance of soarable weather or would it be the same as northern Europe ? If yes, could anyone recommend a place where I could take a ride in a two-seater (I have a valid French license but I don't

I'll agree that a Private Pilot cannot be compensated monetarily for towing services rendered, he may log PIC time towards additional ratings while towing. I'll also agree that 61.113 is very confusing.. but para (g) says he can act as PIC, it does not say be can be compensated. The insurance...

Let's say for some reason I had stored in the FR three different declarations made on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. As far as I know, it is impossible to have different declarations in one FR! What you can have is different flight plans, tasks or whatever you wish to call them. But the only...

The maintenance manual for my ASW 20C glider says to be sure to only use "mineral oil" based brake fluid for the hydraulic brake system. As far as I can tell, DOT 3 and DOT 4 brake fluids are glycol based, and DOT 5 is silicone based according to my 15 minutes of research on the internet. The...

I'll be taking my first glider ride this week (not soaring, just gliding) and was wanting a description of what to expect. I've never flown in anything but a passenger jet, so that's my only frame of reference. We'll be using an ASK 21 model. I've been told gliding is like floating down with no...

Any ideas where I can get a ring tone for my mobile phone that sounds like an electric vario. I have heard one, but was not quick enough to ask where he had got it. -- jorgie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted via OziPilots Online...

Looking for a cradle for 1500 series Compaq PDA. I have two, but both went bad during a power surge. AC adapters are OK.

If you want to make a flight to a "goal" the sporting code says that the "goal" is a "finish point" and the definition of "finish point is defined as the end of the flight (for simplicity). Either a landing, a declared "finish point", or engine start location. My question is why does the goal...
