Just a few months ago, many of us around the world enjoyed the coverage of the 3rd FAI World Sailplane Grand Prix from the Club de Planeadores de Vitacura in Santiago, Chile. Any word on how the club and its members have faired in the recent earthquake. Our thoughts and prayers are with our...

Eager to hear how the first practice day was.

Did anything happen at the Lausanne meeting?

Is anyone blogging Sabina Glide? The information on the official website seems a bit stale. -Pat

What's happening? I see one logged flight on OLC, but I know some don't log and post.

Hi all, anything new here? Did they build the wings?

New season starts in a couple of months and this is the time to make any panel changes. The "brick" version was supposed to be here in time for the season. Is it delayed again? There have been no updates on the "brick" arrival date that I am aware of. Anyone from PowerFlarm team would care to...

Not heard much lately about this new glider development or certification. Anyone have one delivered? Interested pilots want to know :)

From Omarama? So there is no tracking, but I haven't found not even one line of news anywhere on web. Grand Prix should of started today. I hope those estimated 10000-15000 spectrators (yes for sure...) has better info at the field. Wake up New Zealand...

Hi, I flew a 300K flight yesterday (Friday) that I tried to submit to the OLC. They keep denying my flight. I will give some facts below so we don't have to go through them. If you think you may know the answer, I will E-Mail you the flight and let you have a look. 1. Yes, it is a Cambridge 2....

All the articles I click on return the message; "The page cannot be found" (Yes I am an SSA member and I am logged in.)

Looks like Alex's Sailplane Directory is no longer available. Are there any others that have all the info? I know a CD or magazine can be ordered from SSA, but Alex's was convenient and free.

I need some suggestions on how to handle a problem. I've had my sailplane in for repairs now for 4 months. Person I took it to was recommended and told me it was about a 10-15 hr job-gear up mostly scrapes, couple of dings, one small crack. I told insurance, they did okay repair, sent check to me....

I'm considering buying a GPSmap 96 or 76s as my starter GPS. It will be used exclusively for soaring, initially, near my home airport of Hollister, CA and later for developing my cross country skills. Does anyone have a GPSmap 96? If so, could you share some thoughts on using it as a navigational...

Looking for first-hand accounts of anyone towing with or towing behind a Stinson, especially with a 200+ hp Continental or Lycoming. Tow speeds? Rates of climb? Types and weights of gliders pulled? Anything else interesting or unique? We fly out of a 1900' MSL mountain field and pull heavy (1000...

I flew out of Logan, UT yesterday, and unexpectedly landed out on Big Piney airport (KBPI) in WY. Since Logan is hosting a contest now, they can't aeroretrieve me until they launch all gliders, possibly until 5pm or so. If there is any towplane nearby which can give me a tow sooner, please call me...

How's the suit against the county to allow glider operations to resume from Himmitt Ca. going? Any closer to settling? Gary

Any recent user experience with the XCOM 760 radio ? It has been 2 years since the last postings on RAS. I am interested in the "Dual Channel Watch" . I know the Becker AR6201 has it, but at significantly higher price. I also know the latest Microair version has it, but I don't want to start...

The Inreach unit has been out for awhile. Anyone using it in gliders?
