Filser ATR-500 by
Roger Fowler
I am thinking of buying a Filser ATR-500 comm radio
for our club. Does anyone have any experience with
it, especially reliability and repair-wise?
I like the idea that it just plugs in where the previous
ATR-57 was. But I am concerned because the ATR-57
has to go back to the factory for repair...

Static ports and Irving TE probes by
Jim[_33_]
I am trying to understand how TE probes are connected. I've searched the literature but apparently have not found the description I'm looking for.
Are the fuselage static ports connected (used in any way ) in an Irving TE probe is installed?

Gone West... Bill Seed by
Steve Leonard[_2_]
The soaring community lost a colorful character on June 3, 2017, when Bill Seed passed away at his beloved Sunflower Aerodrome and Gliderport near Hutchinson, Kansas. He was 73 years old.
Bill was known to many in the soaring community for various things, but he was known most to me for three...

Soaring across US Canada border (and back) by
son_of_flubber
The FAA posts the relevant rules and overview http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/ifim/airspace/
but there must be some good stories. It would have been easy (from a lift and wind perspective) for a XC pilot to cross over and back today in Vermont. It must be tempting.

U-2 conversion thoughts by
Martin Gregorie[_5_]
A friend reminded me, again, about the films of rookies landing U-2s and
not knowing to do with the rudder on roll-out or (in some cases) the need
keep the wings level as long as possible.
This reminded me that both are things all glider pilots understand and,
by extrapolation, to wonder why...

one day of flying, I wonder how the families loaded
up for a week or two of competition, back in the day
when families went to the competition. From the book

Baro/GPS disagreement by

I'm a little baffled at the huge difference between my GPS altitude
and the pressure altitude when I get up high. Yesterday on the
ground, I showed around 10 feet difference between the GPS altitude
and the pressure altitude. Up around 17000 feet, the GPS indicates
over 1000' higher. I also noted...

At 7:26 PM Mountain Time there are no flights for July 3 shown for the US on

WX says: SW U.S. Deserts/Plateau - Excellent Soaring peaking 07/04-06 by

A large high pressure aloft (500mb) is expanding over the SW U.S.
This typically causes high temperatures (in this case near record max
high temps), a suppressed marine layer and excellent soaring weather
to the Mojave Desert, Owens Valley and Western NV.
