I have a question for the group, will a glider pass a annual if the glider is equipped with a Transponder that is past it’s 24 month certification?

My LS8 came with a factory installed Roeger Hook. I removed the receiver side (machined bracket and spring latch) this winter to do some work and put it back in. Now, however, it seems a little "sticky" when opening the canopy. Anyone have a detailed picture of the fuselage showing the...

The May 2012 AOPA PILOT magazine has a very nice 6 page spread on soaring, including a 2 page-wide shot on pages 2 and 3 (the contents pages). Short article, large photos from Omarama. This is good PR for soaring with the rest of the flying community. Bob T.

Is there a practical limit to wing loading? I'm looking for aero dynamic information, not statements about max gross weight. Can you load your glider up to the point that, even with strong and reliable lift, you're at a disadvantage to lighter ships? I was just thinking of the old days when I...

Hi, I have been selling the book "The Handbook of Glider Aerobatics" by Peter Mallinson and Mike Woolard for several years. It is a very nice book. I learned a lot from it. Unfortunately, the publisher in the U.K. says it is out of print. Therefore I'm trying to reach the authors to...

A few of us put the new SSA Let's Go Gliding logo on the sides or our trailers on a rain day at Perry. While driving home we noticed a number of camera flashes as folks photographed the 10 foot logo on our trailer. Let's hope some or these folks go to the web site and give it a try. Cost is a very...

Did anyone happen to notice the OLC flights logged by Mark Rebholz in the WWII vintage Liaster-Kauffman glider out of Arizona on the 21st and 22nd? Great flights for such an old machine! Congratulations! Steve PS

I recently updated my Nano and now can not declare tasks with XCSoar. Anyone else have the same problem? Worked fine before the upgrade. 3 out of 4 declaration attempts it fails and when XCSoar notes the declaration is valid, there is no declaration in the Nano. I tend to think the problem is with...
