Have a brand new still in the plastic wrapping VHS of The Sun Ship Game starring George Moffat. Apparently these are hard to find. Will donate all proceeds to the US Team fund. Kindly email me with offers - reserve price is $200 (remember, folks, its for a good cause!) Thanks DJ

Hello everyone, Now that we are done with the Seniors I am looking for volunteers to help me with the SSA booth at Sun-N-Fun April 4th through the 8th. If you volunteer for a morning or afternoon shift you receive a pass for the entire day. This is a great chance to share our great sport with...

Is anyone else going to Sun-N-Fun in Lakeland, FL, Apr 4-110, 2006? I go a few days early to do some soaring and seaplanes. :-) My schedule at Seminole Lake Gliderport is Monday, Apr 3, 1-3PM in the Grob-103. It usually takes a few minutes of paperwork and logbook review, 2 pops and I'm checked...

Hi, all. I find myself with a week in late February, and a lot quite near to Santa Fe, NM (and she who fills my life with delight loves the art operations in Santa Fe as well). The casual observer would note that a trip to Santa Fe is warranted. Alas, the lot is undeveloped and requires only a...

A 3 hour MAT with two mandatory TP's was called. CD wanted everyone to get going early as winds were forecast to be 20-30+ on the ground after noon. At 11:30 the official practice day was called off due to the strength of the wind and gusts, 25-30+, and the direction, 90 degree cross. The 03/210...

Want to purchase suitable sunglasses for the upcoming season. Search of old threads turned up info several years old. What are the requirements for a good pairr of good pilot's sunglasses.Tx.

Hi, I have been flying with Serengetti sunglasses for many years in a sailplane with a clear canopy. I bought a LS6 with a light blue tinted canopy which make my cockpit to dark when in the shade of cloud. Suggestion are welcome to solve this problem. Regards, S6

I have heard from time-to-time that Sun Tiger sunglasses work well for soaring. Since I fly within 30 miles of the 1/10th busiest airport in the world, anything that will increase my chances of seeing another aircraft is something I want to take advantage of. It also turns out that Sun Tigers are...

I would like to see a new class in soaring competition in the future. I am thinking of a class where one is allowed to utilize electro-solar energy beside the usual ways to generate lift. As things goes today we use slopes, waves and thermals to keep us flying and that governs the way our...

Does anyone have any data on whether the iPhone X OLED screen will be more sunlight readable than previous iPhones? The brightness spec looks the same (625cd/m2), but I see no data on the screen reflectance.

Hey group! We are very excited to announce that a Sunlight readable Oudie will become available shortly (mid April) and maybe even more significantly that we went into considerable trouble and will be be able to upgrade your old Oudie too! Full news announcement is...

There is an interesting discussion here at http://www.postfrontal.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5589&whichpage=6 with a lot of pictures I have taken out of new PNAs with 800-900 nits displays. This PNA has also a spare RS232. I am searching for a Dell Streak to compare, but it is was gone out...

Dear all, On the internet there are plenty of announces concerning 5 inches PNAs for flight, expecially on Alibaba. People should be warned that these units will not currently report a correct position while turning in the air with an aircraft. It is a much worst problem than the HP31x, because...

Qualcomm's Mirasol products and supposedly project were discontinued in July, rumored difficulties with production (yield cost etc ?). Fletcher imported a Mirasol PDA from Korea and it looked good running XCsoar (well, the replacement for the first unit that died looked...

Does anyone know the status of the Solar Flight 'Sunseeker Duo'? There was some fanfare about it on one of the past Aero-shows in Friederichshafen but their website https://www.solar-flight.com/sunseeker-duo/ hasn't been updated for a while. Sent an email but that went unanswered. Looks like an...

Surprising lack of conversation on the revolutionary Sunseker Duo, cover story of August Soaring. 22 meter two-place glider, covered with solar cells, able to cruise all day long above the clouds on just solar. George Bye would be proud. At 470 kg max gross weight, not a lead sled like some of...
