"10km / only once" amendment by
K.P. Termaat
Thanks to people like Ian, Robert, Herbert, Jack, Ruud, Janos and other
respectable guys, I am very much convinced now that it cannot be that an
excellent 1000 km performance is japordized by an FAI rule of which the true
intention has been fulfilled in a very convincing way.

"Hands off" decent from altitude with spoilers? by
MHende6388
I was taught during wave training that all sailplanes, properly trimmed, when
you let go of the controls, will seek a gentle banked circle to one direction
and maintain that attitude, even in light turbulence.
There must be great variation from one a/c to the next with varied CG and...

"Pan turbulence" by
Martin Gregorie
Some time back I saw a magazine article about something mysterious

somewhere in the middle of the USA.

JFK gave Barbara Pierce a lesson in life in the summer of 1944 (making
her a "Cape Cod heiress"), and to her eventual husband, JFK gave a
personal motive for revenge. Perhaps if George and Barb had announced
