Did we decide if ballasted pullups are higher???????? by Lars Peder Hansen
OK, here we go, just to exite trolls, believers, non-believers, math fereaks, the lot: Off course wet pullups go higher. In the end, a pullup is conversion from kinetic energy (speed) to potential energy (altitude). Soaring is all about trading one of these for the other. Picture two identical...

Ventus 2CT or 2CM or DG 808b or ASH26E or LS8t by John Mason
I intend to buy a state of the art new glider and I was looking at this choice. My main priority is to enjoy the flying and so I want good performance, nice handling and safe behaviour (no incipient spin tendency to keep me on edge). I am not sure if I will loose a lot of climb performance if I go...

Looking for old movie (chase) by Dr. Elmar Jobs
Hi! I'm looking for a rather old movie (I've seen it about 18 years ago). It's about a glider pilot living in his hangar who is being chased every day by a glider that looks like his own. It has some really good acrobatics in it. But that's almost all I know about this movie. Any ideas? Thanks

MacCready in the Mountains by JJ Sinclair
I fly a lot in the mountains and find MacCready speed-to-fly information, completely worthless. Let me explain; Before crossing a ridge, I will fly slower (below MC), so that I'm assured of making the next ridge. After crossing the ridge, I may fly faster than MacCready. If I set the proper MC...

Volkslogger flight log problem by Bill Staley
The past 2 times I have flown, my Volkslogger seems to have not recorded a flight log. I have the Volkslogger driving an SN-10 – the SN-10 has a flight log. I cleared the Volkslogger memory before both flights. I am using SeeYou to download the logs. The prgm shows a connection but doesn't show...

Cleaning TE probe - is this a good idea ? by JJ Sinclair
Good luck on getting high enough, this time of year, to generate enough pressure to dislodge the pesky little critters. Seriously, I have used an air bottle with about 50 psi in it to blow out the TE probe hole. Give it very short bursts, like sssttt, then wait and hit her...

1-26 chase 1-26 movie.... where can I get it? by The Stick and Rudder
Hello fellow glider/sailplane pilots... many years ago I had the opportunity to see a movie that featured two 1-26's chasing each other around the sky, down a mountain-side, thermalling, etc. I have looked for a copy of this movie a few times but have never been able to find it, save one time and...

Up, up and away ... by Bill Gribble
Since July, when I cashed in a "trial lesson" voucher at a gliding club in the Black Mountains of Wales and had my first experience of gliding, I've been lurking here but otherwise stranded on the ground staring wistfully at the sky. I'd warned my wife continually of what she was in danger of...

Cobratrailer&brakes by Greg Arnold
