Here is some information from my good friend Wes Lineberry that I am relaying at his request. Wes is acting as Contest Manager for the 13.5 Meter Regional at Seminole Lake Gliderport.

Hi felows. I have a Volkslogger and are finding the selection of places, in which I can download my flights, growing more and more narrow. I most use the Volkslogger for documenting the flight, as I has pressure altitude and engine sensor. For navigation and final glide I use my Android HDC...

So I decided it is about time to get one. I figured before I spend the money on a new one I'll check if anyone has one for sale, preferably Koerner Wing Rigger. You can email me directly at ryanetz at yahoo.com. Thanks, Ramy

Within just a few weeks we completely sold out our glider racing / cross country camp. We then reevaluated the possibility of adding 5 more participants through the use of extra help and creative planning. Then filled those 5 slots up almost overnight. ALL entry fees have been received so we...

I've been flying WinPilot PRO V12 in Condor for a while now, and I'm trying to make sense of its ETE (ETE To Final Destination) NavBox parameter. I have 'Time Left' and ETE displayed on the map screen, and one would think that the difference between these two numbers would equal the time...
