Hi,

I thought is was a good convention, but I was busy working in my booth

most
of the time.

If you missed my talk comparing soaring software and complete soaring
instrument systems, you can view it as a PDF file at:
http:///www.cumulus-soaring.com

The big news in my little world was that both SeeYou and StrePla announced
Pocket PC flight software. They both looked very impressive with
topographical maps and many other nice features. Of course, as the person
who sells and supports Glide Navigator II, I would have to suggest that

they
are more complicated to use than GN II.

I very much enjoyed meeting many of the pilots that fly with Glide

Navigator
II, Cambridge Aero Instruments products, and the other items I sell.

The soaring flight simulator Sailors of the Sky was also a big hit. I
haven't played with mine yet, but it looks fantastic.

I particularly liked that my booth was next to the Schempp-Hirth booth so

I
got to drool over their nice gliders all week. Some day I'll own a
DuoDiscus... I liked the Duo they had on the floor. The contest number

was
6B and the open airbrakes had "Six Beers" written on the orange blades in
large letters. Cool.

I'm already looking forward to the 2005 SSA convention in Ontario,
California.

Good Soaring,

Paul Remde

Well done

Soar Point

The fact that he comes out with his points just once in a while,
makes it very interesting!

BUT.......for us who could not make it to the Convention, could we have
some reports, stories. What gliders were on the floor, Talks, lectures,
items?

Thanks!
