Glider books or movies? by
vic20owner
Are there any good stories (books & movies, fiction or nonfiction)
which include a lot of glider flying?
A book about cross country gliding would be perfect... a documentary,
etc.
Thanks

to find the rule in the Federal Register...

Kestrel 17 Polar by
Jim Archer
I am curious as to why the Kestrel polar is not included in any of the
flight recorders/flight computers. I have one loaded into my SN-10 from
the polar data in the manual so it's not a burning issue, but I'm
feeling a bit left out!

clubs ... I had my shirt tail trimmed on my first solo flight quite
few years ago ... but I seem to notice a higher frequency of wet-
downs these days ... just wondering if it is a widespread trend.
Anyway, here is a neat photo of a...

4-blade Pawnee Performance? by
noel.wade
Can anyone out there with experience behind both 2-bladed and 4-bladed
Pawnees give me an idea of what the performance losses are?
My club has debated this off and on, but I was recently at a field
with a 4-bladed Pawnee and was much impressed with the lower noise.
Problem is, I've got club...

$50 SPOT rebate by
Eric Greenwell
I notice SPOT is offering a $50 rebate until the end of the year. I also
noticed it was $200 at Costco, $150 after rebate, but the online stores
still show them for sale for at less than $150. I don't know the
specifics of the rebate offer - I have a SPOT already, and my wife loves...

Grob 103 Twin II Brake Master Cylinder by
Mike McCarron
My club has a 1983 Grob 103 Twin II that needs a new master cylinder. Over
the years the Grob factory has made changes to the system without full
documentation and as a result the US distributor can not be sure of how I
go about purchasing the proper master cylinder for this glider.
If you or...

Xcsoar site problems , IPAQ 314 by
PCool
Does the Xcsoar website always give problems or is it a temporary situation?
Most of the times it does not answer, or it is painfully slow.
I found Xcsoar a great product, not to mention it is free, but mostly
oriented to developers for embedded instruments such as Altair, than to
end-users. I...

Silver Badge! by
[email protected]
Got an email from Judy today, my Silver Badge is in the mail! yippee,
only 2 years worth of goofed up barographs and missed opportunities to
get it too. I should write a book "Silver Badge...Made Hard!"
On to the gold I suppose.

Glider Video Facing Backwards by

Our club (http://skysoaring.com) owns a ex-military L-19/O-1 "Bird
Dog". Nice and powerful two seat-er.
It has one other interesting attribute. Due to it being an
observation plane, the rear stick can be removed and the rear seat
back repositioned so that the passenger can face backwards. This...
