After the definitive spanking these two new models gave to the previously dominant ASG-29, there has to be a superiority. So, what is it? (And yes, the pilot matters...but look at the results in 18m Worlds competition)

I have an opportunity to buy a 1988 ASW-24 which is in beautiful condition, good electronics and great trailer. The glider is equipped with M&H winglets. The asking price is $45,000 US. I would appreciate any feedback regarding the winglets and/or the price. Thanks

The last few threads I initiated were preambles to a discussion I don't think we've sufficiently explored. Those of you who keep track will recall that I've asked first, whether we are sufficiently well-trained (Dear Burt), and second, if some of the models we use to understand flight couldn't...

Does anybody have a clue where I could get a "Whiz Wheel" for a Standard Class (ASW 19)? I can't believe that everybody has absolute faith in the reliability of their electronic glide computers. Last week my computer lost its 3-D GPS fix and I was forced to use my wits...not a very useful tool. ...

Thanks for all the private responses. I don't have everything needed for a legal installation yet but I am now relatively certain it is possible. Neal Pfeiffer was kind enough to put me in touch with Charles Pate at Cessna's Structural Engineering Department. Charles directed me to the FAA's...

Is there anyone using a Tesla Model 3 to tow his/her glider regularly? Curious about the impact on range and usability to go on (European) gliding holiday.

Who knows details about this? http://www.mlive.com/news/annarbornews/index.ssf?/base/news-32/124507681859170.xml&coll=2

Just saw this advert in Barnstormers.com The nicest gliderport in the USA in my opinion. The swimming pool makes it so. http://www.floridaairparkhomes.com/property-for-sale.html Rich Owen: Please reply if anything about the advert is not true.

Hello, I am glider pilot and looking for a good navigation software running on Ipad. What would you propose? Many thanks, Bruno

I finally got around to watching this 1967 movie which I bought on eBay more than a month ago. It was surprisingly well done. Not that Walt ever put out a bad product, his production values were always top notch. However, when the popular media shows soaring, I often see realism and accuracy go...

I googled a bit but came up with nothing very useful as of yet. Does anyone know of a (preferably US...) supplier of Interglas fabrics? I only need a few yards of both 92125 and 92145, for which I can find no direct alternative equivalents for. Alternatively, if anyone has some of this stuff on...

David Grah The flight had been arranged for Wednesday out of my home airport at Bishop, California, but the weather didn't look good enough that day for the flight I hoped for. The weather forecast looked better on Thursday, 10 July 2003, so, the flight would be that day. The main impact of the...
