If you go to Hull mountain (Lake Pillsbury), then it's a nice trip up to Woodrat in OR. After that you can go on up to Dog Mountain WA where you can sample a fun ridge soaring site with an impressive evening glass off when it occurs. Just break down quickly because the black cloud you see when you l...

How wings really create lift
Interesting article documenting how lift is actually created. It's not via the common explanation of air moving faster across the top of a wing than the bottom because it has to meet at the end and the top is curved. http://www.physorg.com/news/2012-01-wings.html This explains why flat wings create ...

About a year and a half ago Kathy (my wife) spent a great deal of time putting together emergency contact information for nearly all the pilots in the club. Joe was included. Unfortunately, it appears that it was either misplaced or the location was forgotten. Previously it was in a folder in the ph...

I can't be sure, but my guess based on the pictures, is that the zipper is not completely closed. Then, depending on which way the wind blows, the sail either inflates or deflates. However my guess is that it's high pressure under the sail and the opening is allowing the sail to inflate somewhat inc...

It's not always as simple as it seems and large aircraft behavior under the layers of automation present make sometimes basic flight procedures not as transparent as we would like. There's a long and interesting discussion on the Airline pilots forum discussing many of the issues, for example: "...

Lost Dumbbell
My wife (Kathy) left a training dumbbell on the field about two weeks ago.
If anyone saw it, just reply to this email with its current location.
It's a wooden retrieve dumbbell something like the ones pictured here:

A couple of suggestions -- 1. Use what we have so we can start using the deck, then start a search for a permanent solution. I agree that using crappy wood will only lead to problems downstream. That's from personal experience. 2. Think about using Trex for the top railing. Trex is expensive for a w...

On this particular issue I respectfully disagree with the proposal. Even if cell phone service in the LZ had improved, and I don't find that to be true lately, the LZ phone provides an important service to the members. 1. It is a SINGLE, RELIABLE point of contact. That is, there is no ambiguity as t...
