Spinning (mis)concepts by
Arnold Pieper
1) "The spin is caused primarily by the position of the controls" - True,
but spins can also be cause by external factors.
2) "...Stick in the aft stop is the 'Stall' position" - Not exactly true. It

Define penetration. by
Bruce Greeff
Hi
I was recently challenged to define Penetration.
We failed to find a suitable definition - although I have my own opinions.
Views presented on the subject include:
Glider penetration is represented by the polar curve.
Penetration is proportional to wing loading.
Penetration is the "real world...

Chuck
First off, I am an A&P, but not a pilot.
I have a relative that has a glider and needs to put "wing wheels" on his
glider. He said that they want some pretty decent money for them.

them together and see if he can make...

I do not practice landing with water ballast but I have landed both my
ASW-19b and my ASW-28 ballasted. All cases were landings for contest

Question for any commericial airline rules experts out there by
Ted Wagner
I took the last half hour to read all the FARs, FAAs, PDQs and XYZs, and I can't find where they say that I can't wear my headphones when the airplane is coming in for landing. (And no, I'm not flying the airplane!)
I don't use my headphones for listening to anything but silence; they're the Bose...

How to fill out a logbook. by
Scott
How are you supposed to fill out a logbook? I get many different answers at
the club. I have my ticket and am I now only supposed to log my time as PIC?
Or is it that when I fly by myself I'm supposed to log it as solo and only
log PIC with another pilot in the plane? Then what happens when I have...

spins and vintage gliders by

In the early 60 s , a kind member at MASA more or less gave me carte
blanche to fly his unmodifed LK 10 when ever I wanted; as I was BGA
trained and spin aware, I expored it's stall behavior; it dropped a wing
so viciously that I did not let it autorotate. It had Clark Y section
