Hey Robb, I have a Sport 2 - 155 (The mid size). I am going to be away for a couple of months and then I want to fly it to get the rust out of my wings. After that I will consider selling it. It's a good ship too. You just have to be patient. If another one comes up...go for it. I won't mind keeping...

Can you remember who held your nose wires on your first solo flight? Most all of us can of course. For me it was Erwin. There I was. Thought I was gonna die! I looked to Erwin for reassurance. He smiled and cleared. I settled down and launched. For that moment I will be forever grateful. Thanks for ...

This is one of the reasons Greblo urges pilots to be alert for changing conditions. Getting behind obstacles may be OK for awhile and then, in the same flight, it is not OK. In fact it is unsafe. Andy's advice is best. Rome's emergency plan seems reasonable but risky and a hard retrieve. Half a deca...

I can confirm that the accident did indeed happen. I spoke with one of the pilots. An eager new pilot who is getting his training and equipment in the least expensive ways. Even he is confused about what actually happened but it is clear that neither pilot cleared his turns. They collided head on an...

You're welcome Mike. It's gratifying to have some knowledge to offer. I hope you share this with your fellow new pilots. Lately I have been trying to become more sensitive to what the glider is trying to tell me about the air I am in. I go to trim and hold the base tube with my finger tips. Is a win...
