Right after I win the lottery, I'm going to buy a Stemme. I've never flown a glider with either a GPS unit or a gliding computer, and I see that the Stemme comes with both. What do you get with one that you don't get with the other, and vice versa? Any information would be appreciated. Mike

Please send me an offer.

Does anyone have any experience wintering their rv and glider at Pleasant Valley Airport, formerly Turf Soaring which is located north of Phoenix AZ? I would be interested to hear your experience. Do they fly in the winter? RV hookups? Noise from the nearby racetrack? Recommended? Are their any...
