    • Speed Recording Issues in High-Speed Dynamic Soaring
      A technical treatise exploring speed differences at various points within the dynamic soaring loop.
    • Adaptable ballast spreadsheets using array formulae
      F3X pilots love ballast. The problem is knowing how much to add, and where to put it. One method is to use a weighing scale and CG balancer. It’s far more productive to use a spreadsheet!
    • A non-programmer wades into Taranis
      It’s powerful but not easy.
    • Test Flights of 4-Meter Size Contemporary Scale Gliders Fitted with Homemade Winglets
      Properly designed/installed winglets are known to minimize the wingtip vortex strength effectively and thus the efficiency of glider wings can be improved.
    • Some pictures of our PSS meeting at Cap Blanc Nez (France)
    • 2018 AWA State Thermal Championships
      Perth Australia is the scene for this event.
    • Trippp Report: Jumpoff Mountain Part Deux

      A Sam's Dirty Rdige (SDR) experience.
    • PSS Candidate - Boeing B-47 Stratojet
      Every large jet aircraft today is a descendant of the B-47, the United States first swept wing bomber. The design offers an exciting alternative for the aeromodeller looking for something different.
      (Strategic_Air_Command_(film), rvs)
    • AI gliders, cartoon by Trevor Ignatosky based on a story from www.theverge.com.
    • Researchers conduct first real-time flutter analysis
      The aircraft manufacturer Embraer, the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR), the Netherlands Aerospace Centre (NLR) and German–Dutch Wind Tunnels (DNW) have succeeded in analysing the flutter behaviour of a wing in real time.
    • Plus several additional items of interest.
