New Home Required by
Ged McKnight
Many thanks to those of you from the US of A for the
interest shown in my friends Skylark 2.
He has made a decision and would like to see his Syklark

He has asked me to contact the potential future owners
direct, all who have shown they will use the Skylark

SeeYou 2.51 vs. StrePla 2.4 by
Bill Daniels
I have searched the archives for opinions on these flight
planners/analyzers. There's not too much current data. They have progressed
a lot in the last year. I need some opinions and comparisons to make a
choice.
Which do you use and why?

Glider Toy by
Stephen Yaldwyn
Today while shopping, I came across and purchased a toy Ford f150
truck and what appears to be a Schweizer 1-21 (The toy car is marked,
but not the toy glider) on a trailer. The glider can be "rigged" and
appears to be reasonably to scale. The whole lot is made by RealToy
and is part of the Action...

Soaring simulations by
Mike Lindsay
Is anyone using SFS 4 during these long winter unflyable days?
Our former CFI recommended it as partial substitute.
And does anyone know of any source of non German scenery? Or non German
user groups come to that?

Spinning the SZD 50-3 by
Tim Shea
I love to spin. It's exciting. I took aerobatic training with Wayne
Handley and was taught spin recoveries by him.
I have direct experience spinning the Puchacz at Minden. This is what
I remember from my experience. Your mileage may vary.
With friends (usually lighter than me) in the front, I spun...

SOARING IN FLORIDA by

I just came back from Florida and flew at Seminole

be held there in early March. See their website. Just

hours from where you will...

Tow pilot killed, but reported as a glider crash! by

Having seen a couple of posts regarding 'tug aerobatics'

tow,' this comes as a rather tragic and timley reminder..........

Best time of year? by
Wendy W.
I got a soaring certificate recently, good for one year. I live in
Houston, so I'm wondering if there's a good time of year, as opposed
to a bad one, to use it? I.e. are there times when the thermals are
better, therefore more fun, etc?
I've never done it before; done some hang-gliding and a lot...

Proper stall recovery technique by
Chris OCallaghan
Thought I would unearth this note as it appears apropos to several
concurrent spinning threads...
This was in response, primarily, to the notion that the proper
recovery to a stall with dropping wing is to "lift" the lower wing
with rudder concurrent with stick forward, leaving the...

FLASH! U.S.A. Rules Committee to Address Rules Complexity? by
SoarPoint
The U.S.A. Rules Committee are rumoured to be polishing off the
details of a multi-prong program to address the much-ballyhooed topic
of Rules simplification. Recent sentiment amongst pilots indicates
that the Rules for U.S. comps--as codified in a proliferating document
that has spun off multiple...

Another First Glider Question by

Let me first apoplogize for posting a first glider question. What the
heck, there's not much soaring weather out there to distract us this
time of year.
A Ventus A is up for sale at a very attractive price in the local
club. I currently have about an hour on my brand new ticket. I think
