During the last several years, and more so recently, I have heard it said many times that the Sports Class is the fastest growing class in the US. So, I decided to look at all contests that included Sports Class in the last seven years. This data includes Sports Class Nationals. In 2002 there...

You need to register to read this article about an amazing migration by the Bar-tailed Godwits, flying 5-9 days without rest to cover over 7000 miles. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/21/AR2008102102685.html

Our club is considering purchasing a second 2-33 (hold the flames please) as a primary trainer. Our main reasons for these are 1) we are small and have limited budget and 2) the cost of maintaining a 2-33 is minimal thanks to their tank-like construction. I've seen a couple of K13s on the market...

We are pleased to announce that the Craggy Aero Ultimate will now be offered with SeeYou Mobile software or WinPilot PRO, ADV software. We have received the SeeYou beta software and have begun testing. We are very excited about being able to offer these two excellent software programs with the...

http://711reporting.blogspot.com/ Information on AMT's new Titan UAV 88 lb thrust engine. Also, seems to be alot of talk on the Club Class. Just my 2 cents, Club class should have its own scoring, but can still be run within the Sports Class Nationals, as their seeding scores will then come from...

In a couple earlier threads related to a proposed Club class, I asked pilots who don't compete now, but would if we created a Club class, to reply either on line or to me as RC chair. I indicated I would report the result. The response, surprisingly, was no replys. The element we are looking for...

Sorry for posting aircraft-specific questions in here, but I haven't received any responses from my queries in the Kestrel401 forum. I recently bought a Slingsby T59D Kestrel 19. Love the ship :) Okay, it's big and heavy, but so am I. I need to get my hands on the Addenda for the POH,...

Looking for a Compaq 1550. Thanks, Sam

I recently bought a 1972 ASW-15B. I am on a budget to fix this up. I'm looking for stuff that works, doesn't look flashly, but fits the need. I need a: 1. GPS data logger thats contest worthy 2. PDA device and connections

All, I have been flying with Evergreen Soaring in Seattle, Wa for the past year but will be moving to Tehachapi, Ca for work at the end of this month. At Evergreen I have been developing a local knowledge soaring map using simple google map tools. The map has proven very valuable in documenting...

I plan on installing a tempeture guage inside the cockpit of my glider. I think it's a good thing to have that can add to safety. For instance, it's nice to know just how hot it is during those summer days on a short runway. Also, to know if your in potential icing conditions at altitudes. I've...

Hi, I'm a french glider pilot, flying at La Montagne Noire, near Toulouse; I also bring up with a glider museum on the airfield. In our collection, we have a two-seater Breguet 904, a Breguet 901 and a Breguet 905 Fauvette; those gliders can still fly, and we would like to collect some...

Our club here in the States is considering purchasing a tow rope reel for our Pawnee. We have roads at both ends of our runway, requiring us to land very long to prevent dragging rope/rings over the road. We read old posts on this subject but nothing was very conclusive. Am most concerned...

Does anyone have any experience driving SeeYouMobile from an SN10B, using both the GPS data and the vario/wind/air data that the SN10 can now transmit to a PDA? Wondering if it is worth the trouble to have a new SN10 wiring harness made to work with my PDA. TIA, Kirk

A fellow instructor and I were just musing today that this is the perfect weather for students. We live and fly in some of the most dynamic soaring conditions in the world, where half the year you're being battered by thermals from 11:00 am until sunset, and a good part of the rest of the year the...

Hi All, Recently some CFIGs in our local club have really gotten skittish about sharing their knowledge. They seem to be getting all amped up about the legal liability issues of instructing in today's court system - even to the point of being reluctant to talk in our club's online discussion...
