Excellent presentation on what these little mobile sensor/computer packages can do. I've had mine a couple of years. I knew it beeps when going up and records flights, but the other functions were really hard to grasp from the manual. I think we went about 3.5 hours today to get a good feeling for h...

Jonathan: Not surprisingly I've had this asked several times and the response is in my platform (remember, "no more surprises"): -"After the meeting I will place how I voted on a website set up for our region. What other Board members do is up to them; you will know how I voted"....

Doug: Thank you. I wasn't deleted; just didn't respond fast enough to a request. Candidates had 2 days or so (if they check the account USHPA was mailing to) for the submission of a final statement. To be fair, we had been told early on that there would be a second mailing. The late timing was the s...

Yes, it's that time again ... Two of the three USHPA Region 3 Directors are up for election this year: ... I am running as the only other candidate....Bob Kuczewski Bob, You are off to a poor start as you are not the only other candidate. Please read the materials that were sent out to nominees mor...

I always recommend the Windgrams or RASP model over the basic Soaring Predictor data. Windgrams are here: http://www.soaringpredictor.info/windgr ... ain_es.htm

RASP here: http://www.soaringpredictor.info/raspta ... table.html (pick "Entire Area").

Fly safe!

Vrezh: Ok, so the infamous November 4 files are gone. They were leftover from the time change. But all is not perfect. If you click the "North Area" and current day, you will have no issues. But if you are using "Entire Area" and/or Day+1 or Day+2 you will have some "Image n...

Vrezh:

First I've heard. I'll check, but I'm thinking time change from the description. The run times change by an hour at the spring and fall time change as they are all based on GMT. One of the scripts may not take that into account.

Are there other odd dates/times?

Thanks,

Alan

If you have been having trouble getting the Soaring Predictor Skew-T plots from the table (note, I always recommend the data from RASPTABLE as it is a much better predictor, but...) then you have seen some of the Internet implications of the recent issues with Java security ( http://articles.latimes...

I upgraded the RASP machine this fall so the models run in about half the time. With a little prodding from our new RD Dan, the run schedules have now been changed. Forecasts are available much more quickly which should improve the accuracy. See the new Run Schedule page http://www.soaringpredictor....
