for a change of pace. Fly sailplanes that is...
It's the weekend. Please go out and fly.

Re still-air times:
Suppose that you can launch to 600 feet (pretty good for still air with
a 600 foot line). If your plane's loading is 9 oz/sq ft, at a CL of 0.9
it will fly 23 ft/sec. Therefore if the L/D at that speed is 23 the
sink rate will be 1 ft/sec. That's 10:00 from 600 feet.
BUT --
Simon, any more word on an all out speed competition in your area next year.

Hi
I'm not a vender or anything. But I think its time to stop bashing Sal,
Karlton etc... They are both pretty good guys, and try their best to keep us
supplied with toys. It has got to be a major pain in the ass to run a
business with such small profit margins, and to have us hammering on them
Would anyone happen to have plans for building a
winch? I have a starter motor and am able to weld thanks to one of my other
hobbies-- offroad vehicles, but I can't see spending several hundred dollars
for a premanufactured item.

First, I'd like to thank everybody who recommended the Kenai slit finger Glacier
