I have a LNav / meter that has worked fine in the past. Sunday the meter pegged out at 10 knots and stayed there. I cycled the LNav a few times and it kept doing the same thing. Does anyone have experience with this, and if so, what was the fix? The LNav itself seems to be fine. Thanks Kurt

I am looking for non Internet history, photos, stories and anecdotes about the factory Schweizer 1-20, NX91840, between the years 1964-1994. Any info would be appreciated. Guy Byars

Let me know if you have one for sale. Thanks, Marcin

We had a wonderful week+ of fun flying mixed with racing at the 2017 Nephi OLC Games. Thanks to all the pilots that attended. Nephi has been chosen to host the 2018 Sports Class Nationals. We are again honored to host a Nationals in Utah. We will also host a regional sports class contest...

Hello to everyone on the forum. I'm fairly new to gliding - finished my ABC in Australia in the beginning of this year but I'm originally from Bulgaria where I live at the moment as well. I'm looking to buy my first glider at the moment and noticing a lot of gliders for sale near the 3000 h...

Looking at the Discus B's for sale on W&W. Before I drive out to look at them, can anyone tell me what size pilots will fit in them? Don't want to make the trip only to find out I don't fit!

I am trying to understand how TE probes are connected. I've searched the literature but apparently have not found the description I'm looking for. Are the fuselage static ports connected (used in any way ) in an Irving TE probe is installed?

The soaring community lost a colorful character on June 3, 2017, when Bill Seed passed away at his beloved Sunflower Aerodrome and Gliderport near Hutchinson, Kansas. He was 73 years old. Bill was known to many in the soaring community for various things, but he was known most to me for three...

For some reason, I cannot see any maps to download on SETTINGS MAP DATA in iGlide (latest version according to Apple App Store). I wrote to Butterfly and they wrote back: "iGlide is not able to establish an internet connection. Please retry and make sure your iOS device is online an iGlide is...

I see a tab on the OLC Plus, beside "Standard", for "Advanced" information. There is no indication of what that is, or why it would be worth subscribing (The Canadian Soaring Association already pays $1000CAD/yr to OLC). Does anyone have a screen shot of what that looks like, or a link that...

See letter from General Aviation and Commercial Division, Flight Standards Service dated 24 April 2017: http://indocap.com/FAA/FAA-AFS800_Palmer1.pdf This is the solution for certificated pilots who wish to add a Glider rating but cannot solo because they have no current Flight Review and...

How often should the mylar be redone on a horizontal stab/elevator? The glider is always stored indoors in its trailer,and everything looks fine with the factory installed tapes, etc. There is sometimes a quiet air sound that changes pitch with elevator deflection especially when cold.

I know the SSA Rules have allowed for a while the ability to split classes in a regional by pretty much any criteria. A few contests have split by glider type or handicap range. Have any split by pilot skill? If so how did they do the split? Volunteers? Pilot Ranking? Combination? How does the GTA...

How did it stack up against the K6e, SHK, etc.? How are it's flying qualities? What's your thoughts? Thanks so much! -Nick

Thought I would share an interesting experience from this weekend flying rides. Most Sundays I fly rides at the local glider FBO. My last ride of the day was a former military air traffic controller. When giving her the safety briefing I clearly explained the jettison handle, and canopy release...

Of course all of our flights are aerodynamic experiences, but we can usually make some sense of what we experience. Here's one that was a mystery from the beginning, and I’m still surprised by when I think about it. A couple of years ago, I was flying in the front seat of a Grob 103 (nose tow...

Hello All, We are looking for another full-time CFIG to add to our already great staff for teaching and glider ride duties. We also need a full-time tow-pilot. I would also like to hire an A&P. It could be one person that can do all three, or multiple people to fill these roles. Business is...
