Our intrepid billionaire on his way? by
Stewart Kissel
http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/02/28/fossett.branson/
Any news if he launched succesfully?
If you got rid of the jet engine...what sort of L/D
might that thing have? And what would you use to tow
it?

Microair M760 Intermittentent Transmit by
Dan Marotta
Reception is good and, until recently, transmission has been good, as well.
Lately, transmission has been intermittent. The radio transmits carrier,
but no modulation. I have gotten a few false starts since one time moving
the boom microphone caused it to transmit again. Thinking of frayed,...

S80 issues by
[email protected]
so I made the ultimate dumb move - I updated a working IT device right before I went to a contest. It has not worked since.........
To be fair - I did not update the firmware correct off the bat (should have ready the Manuel better)
Now - on the ground it looks like it will work fine - as soon...

Ultra light Glider regulations by
Denis G
Hi !
The european regulation precise that "gliders with a structural mass
of less than 80 kg when single seater or 100 kg when two seater,
including those which are foot launched" shall stay under national
responsibility, so to say, out of EASA.
Could someone tell me what are Regulations for...

"Marfa Report" by Wally Scott by
Burt Compton
Written in the early seventies about soaring at Marfa - in big wing (open
class) sailplanes. Map enclosed with green/red landable/unlandable areas (for
big wings at least), and known "sink holes" and lift areas. I have copies
available.
I also have DVD copies of "The Sun Ship Game" movie.

Rudder Cable Systems Used in Modern Sailplanes by
JJ Sinclair[_2_]
There seems to be a fair amount of confusion about the springs used in almost all modern sailplane rudder cables. The springs are there to keep the pedals upright (pulling forward) and to facilitate rudder pedal adjustment through the use of an 'S' tube. Each rudder cable enters the top rear of its...

Short review of the Dell Streak with XCSoar by
Max Kellermann
Hi,
I have decided to buy a Dell Streak 5" for XCSoar, replacing my old
iPaq hx4700. It runs with Android, not Windows CE. We will release a
"stable" version of XCSoar for Android in March or April 2011, and
this switch to Android in my own glider will give me...

Takeoff distances by
Kilo Charlie
Has anyone done calculations for takeoff distances for various density
altitudes, weights and winds for their sailplane-towplane combination?
Every powered plane POH has a table but there are none in the glider books
for obvious reasons (HP of towplane for one).
The Arizona Soaring Assn flies...

Random thoughts 2 by
Bill Daniels
Is it legal/possible/reasonable to install just Mode A transponder (No
altitude reporting)?
Whenever I hear "Traffic 12 O-clock 3 miles, altitude unknown" I look
EVERYWHERE. ahead. Might this provoke more visual scanning by aircraft
crews which could spot gliders without transponders in the...

Using an iPad mini for soaring stuff by
Eric Greenwell[_4_]
I decided traveling with a tablet computer in a touring motorglider
would be easier than lugging around my 6+ pound Windows laptop, so I
took advantage of a good deal on an iPad mini. I thought it's wealth of
aviation apps, including soaring apps like iGlide, and others was a plus.
