Hi,
I have a link on my Soaring Links page "Theory, Equations & Spreadsheets" to a site in Melbourne (link below) which includes a program to calculate and plot a Stocker final glide calculator as described in Helmut Reichmann's book Cross Country Soaring. http://www.gliding-in-melbourne.org/resource.htm More interesting links are he http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/soaring_links/theory.htm Good Soaring, Paul Remde "Bob Gibbons" wrote in message ...

There are several versions but the one I have has a side to place a sectional chart (or portion of one) and a spiral set of lines to show glide distance into a headwind. You twist the correct line over your current location and I think it indicates the correct altitude for final glide, or some combination thereof. If someone is really interested I can post pictures on my website. m l b ( at ) m i k e b a m b e r g . c o m (remove the spaces, replace the at) drop me a line and I'll go through the effort. Mike I presented a paper at the 1991 OSTIV meeting detailing a software program, written in HP BASIC, to compute the required parameters and plot the graphic overlay for this type of final glide computer, which Helmut Reichmann called a "Stocker" calculator. On my copy of Reichmann's "Cross Country Soaring", the descirption of the computer is on page 120. The program I wrote was designed to drive an HP plotter which generated an overlay what would be printed on a transparency and overlaid on top of a sectional map. If anyone is interested in ancient historical artifacts, send me an email and I'll forward a copy of the paper. Bob |

If the person with the rights to the movie would like, I can take the
original, remove any music that he doesn't have rights for, replace it with music we can get the rights for, and put it out on DVD. I distribute a lot of stuff already, I would love to help out if I can. TJ Johnson PIK20 FN www.simplytj.com |

Taking away the original music would severely damage the weirdness quotient. Taking the Bee Gees out of the film would be akin to telling the Horse Child that there isn't going to be any breakfast. Unthinkable. Jim Beckman |

I have since picked up where Daddy left off promoting his beautiful fashion images from 1950-1968 and am currently working on his book. As an artist dad was always focused and difficult. He did however put his kids 2nd at all times. And that's ok with me. He left me many great memories and lessons I cherish. and the Sunship Game which has introduced me to many great pilots and his admirers! Best, Andrea |

WD Gleb still lives outside Durango... being the first owner of the Sisu I have (s/n 101, N6390X) I contacted him some years ago to talk to him about that (what a great excuse!) and visited him there a few years back, still keeping in touch. He raced a Std cirrus through the 70s, and continued to soar and instruct into the 90s before getting really frustrated with somebody at the club there, after which he tore up his ticket (literally...) never to fly again. I told him to please send stuff like that to a museum or at least to me next time, and one day shortly after that he sent me the compass from Charlie Item (visible on top of his cowl in Sunship) which was given to him by Schreder (who 'liberated' a bunch from the Navy and gave them out to his friends) which needless to say is a very proud piece of my collection. I also talked with a fellow that was given a glider ride by Gleb- 260 miles in a 2-33! with a 55 mile final glide! said he didn't look once at the ground but rather kept his eyes glued skyward, although the fellow riding with him was white knuckled looking down for most of it. This guy was really in awe of his stick skill and soaring intuition to say the least. He's not soaring or flying anymore, but he also had a power ticket w/instrument rating. In addition to other of his achievements mentioned, he was a serious top bicycle racer before WWII, played piano in Canagie Hall at age 9 while his mom danced, is the son of a famous sculptor (forgot name, but made the bronze Roosevelt bust in DC for instance, other sculptures visible in Sunship are his...), is the grandson of famous Russian classical composer, made the first known carbon fiber bike frames- which were then bought by the US olympic committee and reverse engineered forming the foundation for more to come, made seargent at age 19, field promoted after laying a road through un-passable mud for Patten while in an army engineering team in Belgium after the 3 previous teams failed, while a top fashion photographer in the 50's he went on that first round-world trip on the new 707 as such in addition to the many covers of Harpar's Bazaar and other pubs his pics were on/ in, raced for Ferarri, and much much more. Apparently he was quite the life of most any party he was at, and was a heap of fun to be around. Truly an amazing person, and obviously a personal hero of mine. Oh, and just about every woman around him had a big crush on him... BTW, a lot of these are things I learned from others that know him and did not come from his own bragging, although he really does have a lot to brag about in my opinion. -Paul PS. Sunship Game is a very special movie to me, and I too think the mangled youtube version is a travesty to that work of art, but I'm glad others have gotten to see/appreciate it that otherwise may not have. PPS. when/if Robert Drew gets things straightened out with the Beegees, there may be extra scenes included in the real DVD release since a little birdie suggested it to him and he was warmly receptive to the notion HI Paul! I would love you to contact me. I am working on Gleb's book of Fashion images. and using quotes from Friends and former co workers. Dad as you may already know passed in a car accident with Wally June 9th 2011. You can email me or find contact info on glebderujinsky.com. I pray you receive this message and contact me.

I have a "bought copy" of the Sun Ship Game, I love it as well as others that have seen it. My family condolences to you & your family on the passing of your parents. Your father sounds like a character (in a good way). Best to you and your remaining family. Charlie..... my son is the "3rd generation" glider pilot in our family..... |

while Gleb had a lot of domestic issues to deal with, while going through a divorce, that ran over into his contest flying. Not to mention chain smoking at the high Marfa elevations. i think he took a flask with him too, didn't he? |
