John Bentley
With the Duck Hawk now having won the 15 meter Nationals and with an
outstanding performance in the open class nationals, and now looking
to win the 18 meter Nationals you would think that the US Soaring Team

small US company...

Practice Day
First, I would like to say sorry for the delay of the practice day results. As any of my fellow contest managers can attest to, the first day of the contest is hectic. However, if you saw the smiles of the pilots returning from their flights, it was worth it. Trailers had been...

Becker AR 4201 by
John Foster
I purchased a Becker AR 4201 out of a European glider, but it didn't come with a wiring harness. Any leads on a reasonably priced one? Also interested in a more detailed installation guide/electrical diagram of the output and power supply for this radio, as I may be able to make my own wiring...

motorglider engine test by
[email protected]
I need to do a short test run on my ventus 2cxm engine. The fuselage is on its cobra dolley in my garage, and I can wheel it into my driveway and tie the tail to a post. I'm nervous about this, in case there is some pitfall I haven't considered. Has anyone done an engine test run like this?

Hello all,
My old portable PC packed up definitely a few weeks ago and
when I started looking around for a new one I found that
none of them have the old traditional serial port anymore !?
This rather leaves me in the lurch with the Filser GPS-logger

Position Recorders allowed the US for Silver badges? by
Bastoune
I spent a bit of time on the SSA website trying to find out if
"Position Recorders" (not an IGC Approved Flight Recorder) are allowed
for Silver badges. The info from 2010 seems to indicate that Position
Recorders are not allowed for Silver badges, unless someone has in
addition a barograph. Did I...

Minden: Best part of season for XC flights? by
NF
At what time of year should one go to Minden for long distance XC?
Should i expect thermals or wave? I prefer thermals due to the fact that my
wave experience is minor.
Would early to mid august be a good shot?
And finally: Are there any statitics available on the net?
TIA
