Joe, that sounds like fun. I am trying to arrange my schedule so I can attend. I have a couple of questions; Is it a one day event on Saturday September 8?...
John, I'd guess that "event" might be a bit strong for a description. My goal is to impart some XC knowledge to some people that are getting into XC. I'd...
A small group of mostly first time cross country pilots(exept for Joe W and myself) met up at California Valley this last Saturday. The weather was really...
June 13, 14, 15. Three day event. Friday-complete the coures in the fastest time. Saturday not sure, perhaps slope soar Willow Creek Mountain and glide back...

It looks like the XC soaring website has been updated. A new article by Dan Edwards has been added. He did some very thorough testing on the SBXC using...
I just came across a website by Dan Edwards. The website describes his project on using an SBXC as a platform for autonomous soaring with an autopilot. I...
hey john! Dan and his pilot Adam, do test flights at our field in Wilson, NC. They are some really nice guys and the SBXC is super sweet. The work that has...

Maybe two Taboo Gt's might get you a good one. There might be a few types out there under $1000. I have an SBXC and an MXC. Would recommend the MXC over...
Anyone ever done a coastal XC trip from a boat? T ... From: regis To: xcsoaring@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, November 30, 2007 10:58 AM Subject: [xcsoaring]...
Now Tom, just as you do not need an Icon or Supra to fly TD (or a Taboo to enjoy HL), I think you can do a little X-country with something less than a SBXC or...
Regarding a ship to start flying XC: The first XC I did was with a Mark's Models Wanderer (in 1982)! About 6 miles on that flight. I have flown everything...
If you just want to get a feel for X-Country I'd find a good used F3B plane. They will be reasonably priced. Will have a good L/D but cannot spec out like...
Mike and/or others, For the airfoil for a scratch built XC ship, would the S3021 be the best choice or would something like the higher speed MH32 be better? ...
John, Glad to hear from you. I was specifically trying to describe a simple beginning XC ship. The S3021 is very good in that aspect as there is no need for...
