These is nothing too impressive in this evening flight, but I thought some of you might like to see a view of our close call with fire this summer. There was just enough ridge lift from a slope to the east of the burn area to keep us aloft. The darken hillside to our east, up and under the power...

Given a NANO attached to an Oudie. Can you move the IGC file to the Oudie and then Bluetooth same file to a telephone?

Winner was Kevin Wayt, who landed at Burns, OR after amazing 587 mile flight from Tehachapi. Second and third were Garry Dickson and Danny Sorenson. 22 pilots flew, congratulations to all. Weather was beautiful if you were ahead of the thunderstorms, interesting if you had to dodge...

Hi We have recently bought a Phoebus C for the trailer, so do not need the glider. It is EASA transitioned & was flown 5 years ago, it will need someone looking for a project as the gel has discoloured & has had a repair to the rear fuselage above the skid, some of the instruments may be ok....

Anyone use one of these? I bought one and am pretty satisfied with it, but it has this "feature" that requires it to send the flight to a website to get a "sign"/validate the G-record.............half the time I can't get my flights signed and this means they are not OLC valid. Thanks, Brad

I am a new pilot with a few hours of solo time. The head instructor told me to get a handheld GPS and it was hard to decide which one. Finally I bought the Garmin Etrex 20 ($200). It is easy to read in sunlight and has some glider functions like "glide ratio to destination." It is not a real...

Hi all, My father and I are looking for a room, this weekend. Reno air races are calling last minute and we want to attend. Both glider pilots(one has 30+)years of experience. Thanks

I'm traveling on business to Torino Italy 9/12 - 9/26 (12/9 - 26/9) and wish to fly the Alps with a local pilot in a two seater. I would greatly appreciate help contacting an English tolerant member of the glider club at Aosta. Thanks, Bruce

A 2012 VW Golf is rated to tow 3000 lbs in Europe and 1000 lbs in the USA. Why? I'd expect that a Golf towing a 1800 lb trailer at 60 mph would be no problem, until I had a wreck and the insurance company tried to deny my claim. Here's a guy towing an AirStream trailer with a Golf...

Does anyone know where to get an extra heavy tail wheel to move the Cof G rearwards?

This looks like an interesting Delorme product that has Spot like features. http://www.inreachdelorme.com/. I assume it uses the same underlying (overflying) satellite system. As I don't have a Spot, I cannot compare and contrast if the Delorme device is better/worse/same. Anyone have one? Are...
