Hobbs Day 5 7-08 # 711. by TomnKeyLargo
At the pilots meeting today, the CD pushed back grid time to 12:30 and the pilots meeting in the front of the grid to 12:45. This is a big help to all as we do not launch so early and grind around for several hours with 100 degree cockpit heat before the start. Yesterday the high alitude was around...

Release from Tow by Hal
Doing a electronic declaration for a 300/500k cross country flight is it possible to have the starting point be "Release from Tow" or does that require a written declaration. I use the 302.

SOARING IS FUN by Vorsanger1
One of the new posts on RAC which awaited me when I logged in was "Beastiality Masterbation" (sic). Who knew that soaring could be so much fun ? That alone should attract new members (no pun intended) if we could only let the word out. Cheers, Charles

Hobbs Day 4 7-07 # 711 reporting by TomnKeyLargo
Well, what the blipmaps have been saying and what has been happening are too different things. The last several days it hasn't been anything like the forcasts the blipmaps have been giving. We started launch at a little after 1 pm. Our tasks were for good soaring conditions. Well, the tasks were...
