It looks like I'll finish this batch a bit ahead of schedule. If I can finish making and adding the shank fittings this weekend I will start mailing them out Monday 28 November.

Steve Fossett is being haled by Richard Branson as "the greatest aviator in the world, he's also the greatest gliding pilot in the world" I hope via a miracle they find him alive. Given the technology he was carrying I find the chance of him being alive remote. I also noted Steve Irwin passed...

This week I had the pleasure to fly with a couple of freshly minted 2nd Lt.'s from the US Air Force Academy class of 2006. They were converting their glider time from the USAFA soaring program to civilian CFIG's. To say this young lady and gentleman are "good sticks" would be an understatement. ...

I am holding in my hot little hand a letter from Jacqueline Jambor, a Manager with the FAA's Project Support Branch, ACE-112.

After a long (12 year) absence, looking to get back into soaring, although I've been an active power pilot and have owned a variety of airplanes. I used to own a Ka-6, but am thinking of a a Ka-8b that is coming up for sale. Any thoughts on the Ka-8? Things to watch out for? Difficulty rigging?
