Soaring apps for iPhone by
kirk.stant
Just got one of these Apple gizmos and I'm curious what apps other
glider guiders are using. So far I've found some nice non-aviation
weather and mapping apps, so now I'm looking for a good NOTAM and
aviation wx brief app.
How about SPOT, XCskies, DrJack?

runs the theme of the difficulty of avoiding overspeeding
and/or overstressing some modern designs in accidental

advocate that when gel-coat starts cracking up, it is essential to remove
it ALL.

2-Batteries by
[email protected]
By all means a second battery should be installed in our electrically
driven modern sailplanes. After many years of quickly flipping my
3-position battery switch, and trying not to have my logger to
momentarily dropout, I have concluded that is best to use 2 single-pole

Shameless update from Dale Kramer by
DaleKramer
Some of you know who I am and that I have not had a real sailplane since I sold my Ventus2CX a few years ago. I am still waiting for Flarms to be mandatory in all contests before I try to find a way back into competition.
What I have been doing is flying my electric Lazair and RV8.
A lot of you...

the wings. The 17.6 Meter wing extensions are completely fine. The Masak winglets are fine. (one has a small crack, easily...
