Friends, I had the good fortune of interviewing Mr. Lanier Frantz today. He spoke on what a contest needs to get it going in the right direction. Then demonstrated his sole responsibility at the contest. A must see for all racing pilots and fans. Sincerely,

Well I brought the Cherokee down to Littlefield, TX on Saturday hoping for some good soaring. Ended up making it 2/3 around a 200 mile triangle and most significantly got a 10,700 ft gain so my Gold Badge should be complete after a little paperwork. Guess I'm alright to start flying in the back...

Evan, I have had the USAF altitude chamber training x 5. I'm not a doctor and I don't play one on TV. Glen

Does your club/operation use anything on the tow rope to make it fly higher after release and on landing? i.e. wiffle ball, plastic funnel, etc? (if you use a funnel, what size, which way does it point and where positioned on the rope?) We currently use a wiffle ball but maybe some have a good /...

I have started this thread to keep the soaring community informed of soaring.aero developments. I have been asked: What is the purpose of soaring.aero? The purpose of soaring.aero is to promote the sport of soaring. While there are many soaring sites out there, many of them excellent, I think...

My CFI recommended I pick up an FAA publication, and study it to prepare for the written test: "Private Pilot Test Prep 2006 : Study and Prepare for the Recreational and Private Airplane, Helicopter, Gyroplane, Glider, Balloon, and Airship FAA Knowledge Exams (Test Prep series)" Now, some of these...

If you look at the OLC scores from yesterday (1 May) you will see 1050, 945, and 800 KM flights out of Moriarty NM on the first of May. The Albuquerque Soaring club blows the competition away every year in the OLC because of consistant year-round soaring with wave in the winter and great thermals...

I've been tracking auctions for copies of Soaring Magazine for the past few months. Something comes up for sale about once a week, which is more than I would have expected for such a minor periodical. The biggest surprise I have seen so far is the bidding war over a 1949 issue; the price went to...

I am looking into purchasing Klaus Ansorge's 1984 Ventus B, formerly owned by George Sanders. I would appreciate any background info anyone may have so I may feel as confident as possible with my purchase.

Has anyone tried to run the old Cambridge software PocketNAV-CE3 on an IPAQ 3800 ? I do not want to use it for flying (I fly with Winpilot), but only for sending tasks to and downloading flights from the Cambridge GPS-NAV 20. My Ipaq is a 3870 with Windows CE 3.0/pocketPC 2002 operating system and...
