Can multiple flights made in one day be broken into single flight files to be downloaded and used for OLC flights?

Has anybody been following the proposed Fallon airspace expansion? They want to launch long range weapons through some of the airspace that a lot of us have been using for long flights. My fighter pilot friends say that they fire the new guided weapons a long way from the target, less likely...

I was looking at the FES manual, and I was curious what climb rates (in ft/min) people are getting in 18M gliders at the recommend sustained climbing power of 15-18kW? Are you getting over 3,500ft of total climbing? I have a JS3 on order with FES sustainer option (because I don't plan on...

We are insured by Costello. We are already paying our rent but we just received pages of complicated...

Given the record setting soaring weather in the mid-south and southeast this year, does anyone have any experience inflating their water ballast bags so as to be used for a flotation device? Seems like the only way to use them. That's what they're for right? By the way, how do you thermal in the...

I searched the Naviter site and their forums, and didn't find any information as to why you might want to buy the Vector Map product. The description of v4.01 of SeeYou clearly...

I am curious if any one knows what just the fuselage weighs for their single seat sailplane. Cheers, Brad

The first edition of the new magazine, "Gliding International" has an article on the 2 seat self-launch super glider, the EB28. I would have thought that a glider of this class would have automatic hookups, but it uses l'Hotellier connections. Do other current design open class ships use...

I am not covered while flying my ASW-20 because it is in the Experimental Category. The intent of the restriction is to deny covereage to pilots flying homebuilt aircraft. The fact...
