Empty Towball, Ca to? by sisu1a
I dunno... where do you need your glider towed? I typically can cover up to 1000mi/day, so it ain't no 1 week trip to get your ship to you on the east coast and vice versa. Paul Hanson paul at eaglebrandproducts dot com (51owe) 2two7-nine5two3

Contests the end-all? by Morgans[_2_]
As a student pilot, thinking more about gliders lately, I started reading this group. I can't help but notice that talk of contests seems to dominate the subjects here. I think I would enjoy gliders just for the fun of flying, and seeing what you could do individually, and for the beauty of...

How Does it Work at Mifflin? by ContestID67[_2_]
I don't quite get how things work at Mifflin. According to http://SSA.org and a google search the only soaring activities there seems to be during contests. There seems to be no commercial operation there nor any club. If I was to show up wanting to fly the ridge, how do I go about getting a tow...

"Sound" request of vario designers, manufactures, and dealers. by Ben[_4_]
In 30 something years, I have yet to hear a "pleasing" audio. Why designers and manufactures insist on duplicating sounds heard in, God forbid, a Level 1 trauma ER is beyond me.
