Hello everyone. I just upgraded my PowerFlarm firmware from 6.42 to version 6.60 this past weekend. After flying I uploaded my .igc file to the PowerFlarm Range Tool to see if anything had changed for the better or worse. Interestingly, the 6.60 generated log file shows zero FLARM data points of...

Looking for a well cared for APIS 13 meter ship. Contact Ted at

I am looking to purchase a new (to me) XC ship. Which ones have the largest/roomiest cockpit? Not for a tall person, one with broad shoulders, about 5'9 and 200lbs. Discuss and Thank you in advance!

I have a share in a Peg 90. I feel that over 65/70kt the LD really drops off, though, I don't have evidence for this and hope it's higher :) What do others think? Mark

Has anyone had the opportunity to play or fly with both? Wondering about the pro's and con's of each. Both same price, any features that would set one apart from the other?

There is an infobox in tophat CRUISE GR Which given achieved L/D in last cruise. I cannot find equivalent in SeeYou. Does it exist? S

After the Arcus rudder failure in Nephi this summer, and the Early JS1 rudder failure in Moriarty, both resulting in bailouts; I've been wondering.....

This change spreads the schedule and allows pilots with 15/18 gliders to consider flying both. Hobbs will still hold 18 and Open as originally...

My avier battery does not want to take a charge. Can the battery be replaced?

Have there been stall spins during an aero tow? Today, I had a very scary aero retrieve. From being towed to fast to-to slow. Anyways the scaries part was when, the tow plane started to climb and to slow. The indicated speed on the glider was 50 knots and decreasing. The glider kept slowing down...

I've done four Canadian Nationals now and paid the Transport Canada fee each time. It's not really very difficult (they take credit cards over the phone) and it's easier than complying with the requirements of some other countries (France made me get a full medical exam for example). This is all...
