Bob,
I started the hearing thermals thread, which started off when I asked if
anyone had ever tried to "see" them with infrared viewing equipment - in the
interest of improving my understanding of thermal activity and furthering my
soaring skills. The Tungsten one started off because someone was interested
in using it instead of lead because it's denser and therefore you can get
more weight in less room. As for Utah, go ahead and post something about
Jersey......if you dare...
The forum tends to be more on building techniques, suppliers (wait until you
see Sal or Karlton getting flamed), locations to slope, etc. than actual
flying techniques. You will find LOTS of interesting information if you hang
around.
As for the 8 posts about winches, perhaps you don't understand the media.
One person posted a question, lots of people saw it, numerous people
replied...that's just the way it works. If you're looking for flying
lessons, you ARE in the wrong place....you should check out the TPG at
http://www.torreypinesgulls.org/ and the Charles River crew at
http://www.charlesriverrc.org/ - they have some excellent articles on flying
and building techniques. http://www.fatlion.com has some very good general
articles as well as a superb collection of links to the manufacturers of
almost every sailplane out there.
When you need information regarding a plane you're building you'll be very
glad that you CAN tap into the knowledge available here at RCSE.
Matt
PS. Where in Jersey? You can come fly with us in Long Island if you'd like.
