Alby's journey continues (attn: EPSS/El Paso!) by
Mike the Strike
Thunderstorms blocked attempts to fly Alby from Tucson, Arizona to
Moriarty, New Mexico all weekend. Drier air eventually cleared a
southerly route east and Tuno and his ASG-29 set off into blue skies
around noon on Sunday bound for El Paso, Texas. Once he was east of
Tucson, conditions improved...

little website that publishes US airport information that has been

formats including SeeYou .CUP,...

SeeYou Wind Calculation by
Ken Kochanski (KK)
Good Morning,
How does SeeYou calc wind speed and direction when you are reviewewing
flight logs.
I notice the wind shifts direction and velocity ... even while running
ridges ... so I assume it is not using some measurement of drift while
thermal-ing ...

Vertical stabilizer wont come out (Asw-19) by
[email protected]
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone experienced anything alike before and
might have any useful insights:
My vertical stabilizer on the Asw-19 has always been a problem when
being disassembled and has always required little more force to remove
than it was called for. Anyways, today I have assembled a...

Vertex VXA-150 troubleshooting by
JS
Does anyone on the group know the button combination to press to
unlokc the radio from "E 121.500"? An odd combination of buttons
pressed in flight with an elbow has locked it up.
David Jansen's wife unlocked it once, but I was in the middle of
launching 50+ gliders and don't remember her...

Short field glider ops by
[email protected]
Hi I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas on how to calculate
short field operations for takeoff on hot summer days.
2400 foot runway, with a supercub at 95 degrees for a single place
glider seems like it would work fine. Your pucker factor does get to
you as you cross the trees at 30-40...

The idea is to make it insensitive to "uncoordinated" flight.
I've never flown that probe myself, but I've heard good critics from
other pilots.
That makes much more sense than claiming the a...

Soaring in the Swiss Alps by
[email protected]
Hi all,
I'll be in Switzerland (Lugano) from 6/20 through 6/23 and I'd love to
go soaring when I'm there.
Does anyone know of a site near enough to Lugano that I could go
soaring one day that I'm there (checkout w/instructor and rental)?
Thanks,
Dave

FAI triangle records speed question by
Bruno
How much faster do you need to fly any FAI distance for it to count as
a new record? For example, if my current state's 300km triangle
record is 72 miles per hour does someone just need to fly it 73 miles
per hour or is there a certain percentage to improve by?
Thanks,
Bruno
