Just Curious... by
Walt Connelly
I was wondering if all the shares in Seminole Lake Glider Port
have managed to sell? As I recall it was to be March of 2021
when things were to be finalized. Anyone out there in glider pilot
land jump at the opportunity to own a piece of the Green Swamp?
I think it would make a fine place...

Discus b lead ballast plates wanted by
Dan Cannon
I am trying to locate 3 of the 2.2kg Schempp-Hirth Discus lead ballast plates. Rather unlikely someone is going to have the set and wanting to sell but I figured it's worth a shot.
I drilled automotive lead ballast to 10mm but underestimated the limited space up in the nose of the Discus. Turns...

The Yellow Triangle by
Nicholas Kennedy
On many German gliders on the ASI is a yellow triangle.
This Yelloe Triangle on my ASw 20 and my LS3a is the factory recommended approach airspeed. This speed is 49 knots.
This has bothered me for a long time now, I think the factory did alot of pilots a disservice by putting this, to me anyway,...

SeeYou by
Waveguru
As soon as my subscription runs out, the program starts acting up. This really ****es me off. I paid for the program and the fact that they sabotage it to get you to purchase the upgrade is very disappointing. If I don't want the "improvements", the program that I paid for should still work. In my...

An early-season accident in Germany yesterday (Feb. 27, 2021), with a happy outcome: an ASK-21 ends up hanging among trees close to the Burg Feuerstein Airfield (Bayern); no injuries to the pilot reported.
I like the way the rope is used to secure the pilot by recovery. Watch the...

Another way to replacing instrument panels by
ben soaring
Why bother chasing a new instrument panel? They are very expensive, hard to get, and a blank "factory" panel is difficult to cut properly and get "spot on".
This alternative method works great and actually offers "easier to service" benefits. The concept is to cut a new panel from redi-available...
