Sean F (F2)
Subject: the lowdown on Korean pilots
After I retired from UAL as a Standards Captain on the 400, I got a job as a simulator instructor working for Alteon (a Boeing subsidiary) at Asiana. When I first got there, I was shocked and surprised by the lack of basic piloting skills shown by most of the...

Oudie for sale by
Russell
I bought an Oudie a few month ago, and promptly broke the screen by
leaning against a glider with it in my pocket. I replaced it with
another computer, and now am trying to figure out what to do with this
one. I have been told that for $200 I can get my busted Oudie
replaced, so I am offering it...

Old Contest Letters by
Mhudson126
I know this has been visited before, but it did not concern me, as I had no
glass airplane to adhere a set of letters too. As it stands, I am trying to
remove some painted on contest letters from both the wing and tail. I know
Acetone does the trick...But any suggested methods to apply it would...

Cirrus collides with Glider/Towplane by
Jody
This doesn't look good for our sport. It seems that the Cirrus hit
the towline and the towplane and Cirrus went down despite the
ballistic chute on the Cirrus. The glider released and landed
safely. But guess where the blame will...

January 2007 pic in SSA calendar by
[email protected]
Are my eyes playing tricks or is there no wing tape being used on
Ventus 2 "GV", which is quoted as competing in the Sports Class
Nationals. I've heard of circling in sink to mess with the competition
but no wing tape?

Flying a sailplane is like... by
Roger Worden
Seen on a trailer:
Flying an airplane is like drinking champagne
Flying an ultralight is like drinking moonshine with a kick
So... what do you think flying a sailplane is like drinking?

Gliders Performance Data by
Carl Buehler
I am putting together on one of my web-sites some glider
performance data for some gliders I fly.
Does anyone have the performance data for a Lark IS-29D2?
A search of the Internet does not turn up much.
I am planning to fly this ship soon. And wanted to find as
much info as I could.

Trailer tire pressure remote monitoring systems by
Eric Greenwell
After a trailer tire blowout last year, I installed a remote monitoring
system that displays the trailer tire pressure on command, and alerts me
