Chris Davison
Anyone know of any software that will take a downloaded

Ted Wagner
Is there an FAQ or list of How-To's somewhere for the LX5000?
I've RTFM'd, but while the manual gives a decent overview of the user
interface, it doesn't go into much detail at all on how to do things like
prepare tasks and then use the LX5000 to fly tasks. When I google this I
only get references...

A thought on BRS by
Martin Gregorie
New Scientist just picked up on two cases where Cirrus SR-20 drivers
pulled the BRS trick and 5 people came down safely and walked away

1000K Questions by
Brian Iten
When doing 1000K, how many turn points are you allowed
during the flight and how far away from the last turn
point do you have to be to turn at the next point?
I know, hopefully really far but is there a limit?
Thanks

John Jones
Anybody have information on the Themi thermal locator?

along with some math to determine which direction you
are currently turning, and then to 'guess' where the
thermal core is. The device then lights a...

John
Added a similar comment when I filled in the SSA soaring survey.
Want to grow soaring? Market soaring as low-cost entertainment to
generate mass appeal. Develop a commercial gliding site that focuses
