This is worth a look. Most of it is nice aurora shots, but at around 1:45 there are wave bars with lennies in front of a nice bright aurora. http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap101124.html -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |

The latest satellite tracking device is the DeLorme PN-60w which can do text messages along with position data via SPOT. It does this but it is not user friendly. The text entry process is not easy (although you can put in 14 preselected messages and send the one that is appropriate like "Task...

Does anybody know a news server (NNTP) that is hosting the uk.rec.aviation.soaring newsgroup? I so far only found servers that host the uk.rec.aviation group, but none for the soaring sub-newsgroup. I know I can get to the newsgroup content through http://uras.gliderpilto.net, but I would...

Happy Thanksgiving all in USA ! From Oz, where the days are long and warm, the Jacaranda trees are in full bloom, there are sunbathers in the parks, and the skies are kinda like Uvalde. Today I got my ASH-25 familiarization and local checkout. A friend here has lent me an ASH-25 equipped with...

The current issues with the L-13 Blaniks has our club looking at alternatives and developing a plan for the future training gliders we will need. We would be very interested in other club's experience with other trainers, and what you are using and planning to use in the future. Our evaluation...

Years ago there used to be a website that would provide a thermal index for the day, by typing in info for an individual's area. I can no longer find it. I've recently been reading my old soaring magazines from the '80's and saw an article by Senn on the SOAR thermal forcast program. Are either...

Hi, I have just updated my videos web page with more detailed information about the extra features that will be included on the new Sailplane Grand Prix in the Andes DVDs and Blu-ray discs. I like that they added several new additional features that were created just for us glider pilots. You...

I am trying to help a friend find a glider that he can fit into. He is looking for a club class glider or slighty higher cost. What gliders would he be able to fit into?

On the Swedish glider association home page there is a verry nice video on display. Young Johan Gustafsson became the new World Champion i in glider aerobatics much to the glider communities astonishment. I think this lad is a fine exampel for young glider wannabes. Please have a...

Need some advice for stopping a drip (once per 20 seconds) from a tail tank. I’m aware of using Vaseline / Chapstick / beeswax on under wing dump valves, but what about on a tail tank? How would you even reach it to goop it up (the seat is way up a 8 mm tube)? The tank in question is a 5.5 liter...

Hello, I created a flight data recorder during my dissertation - and am considering the feasibility of turning this into a usable product. The unique feature of my device is that in addition to the usual parameters - it also records attitude information (roll, pitch, yaw) and does so in an...

Anyone out there get this to work properly? I've got my 310 and computer on the same COM/baud... even got them to connect (COM connection, not headset). Sorta got it to work with my 3.12 installation (accepted the NMEA stream from Condor and thought it was in Slovenia...), but corrupted it in the...

Hello all, I'm a power pilot transitioning to soaring. Before I starting flying gliders this summer I was on the verge of purchasing a Garmin 500 GPS for navigation in rental airplanes. Now that I'm starting to gain a little more experience in soaring, I've noticed that many of the...

A friend in my club built a pair of winglets for his Standard Cirrus. His glider is expirmental, mine is not. The total cost for him was just a hundred dollars for supplies, and some free guidance from a local IA/AP. The finished product looks fantastic! The mold came from an American Spirit,...
