Anyone using an Aviat Husky A1-B, 180 hp, as a tow-plane? I just purchased one w/ tow hook and would be interested in hearing the experience of others. This Husky also has an 80" Hartzell for improved climb (stock is 76"). * * * FS, beautiful 46' Aeronca Champ 7AC "tow-plane" . . . ah, er, doesn't...

I flew gliders (1-26 and LS-4a) between 1976 and 1996. I have a virtually complete set of Soaring magazine from that period. All issues in good shape. Probably no more than three or four missing. They are free if you will pay the UPS shipping from Zip Code 18947 Thanks, Bill

The Buena Vista, Colorado Pawnee had a partial gear collapse and nailed a runway light with the aileron. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Yet another potential source of lift? http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2007/11oct_undularbore.htm?list812469 The question is how long do they last and how far they propagate? And, of course, how do you catch one? -Tom

I can't find it now, but there was an add in for Google Earth on here last month that would replay an IGC file; it was so real to watch the tow from our gliderport, just like a regular video. Does anyone have the link? Thanks, Fred

I just spoke with Charlie Spratt, he is at home and doing OK. He is going back for more surgery mid-June which will cause him to be unable to make the contest scene for the rest of 2005. He is in good spirits and I said I would post this. His search for a kidney is still going on, but he has some...

In Arizona we land on runways with lots of rocks. Rocks probably help to create some of our awesome conditions but they really do a spanking on the gelcoat. My LS-8 has a fiberglass tail fairing....compound curves and part of the tail overall. The rocks are thrown into it from the front and...

Looking for good condition back issues... any dates. Email me approximate dates and # of issues you are willing to part with. dave32 @ gmail dot com

Hi again, I lost the link for an LS4 user group. I am looking for a group of LS4 owners. Jeff

Casey, The AOPA is a mixed blessing for glider pilots. It is by far the best aviation advocacy group (perhaps in the world), and they appear to provide beneficial services to individual members. But they advocate selectively. And glider pilots are so far down the list, it would be easier to...

There are certainly enough 18m ships around to support an 18m class at regional contests. Anyone want to fly 18m configuration at Perry and/or Cordele? So far, I know of at least 5 guys who want to...... the usual answer is, "yeah, sure.....uhmmmm, if there's about 10 guys." So, speak up, ...
