  • The Do's and Don'ts of Contest Flying by Richard Schreder the Subject Of
    The Do's And Don'ts Of Contest Flying by Richard Schreder The subject of my talk this morning is the Do's and Don'ts of contest flying. I'm going to work from notes that I've made over the years since I've been in soaring. I've had lots of happy experiences, a few unhappy ones, and I've tried to write down all of the reasons for having the unhappy ones. This is what I'm going to dwell on principally this morning. They are not organized in any special way. I'm just going to run through them and read off the note that I made at the time, and I made these notes right after I was down on the ground sitting and watching everybody going over with beautiful cumulus in the sky. So some of these may sound sad or they may not make good sense, but they made awfully good sense to me at the time. First of all I would like to say that to go into a contest you must have a good sailplane, a good car, a good crew, and a good trailer. Of course you're already committed when you decide to go. You have your sailplane, but a little thought ahead of time will save you a lot of trouble. A good sailplane in a contest will save you a lot of headache. You want something that you're familiar in and here again I say don't do like I do but do as I say, because I've gone to several contests, as most of you know, with sailplanes that have only been flown once or maybe not even flown at all in one case and this certainly doesn't help you to do well in the contest.

  • Free Flight Vol Libre
    3/96 Jun/Jul free flight • vol libre Liaison CANDIDATE WANTED SAC representative to the board of the Aero Club of Canada • Lives in SW Ontario to minimize travel cost for SAC • Wants to pitch in and contribute to the wellbeing of our sport by representing the views of SAC to the other air sports • Reports to the board of SAC Very, very low wages but high perceived value Apply by contacting the National office (fax, mail, phone, Internet, carrier pigeon, etc) Approximately 130 SAC members are currently on the Internet. If you just recently got hooked, please let the office know your address as we plan to use this cost–efficient route more and more. SAC now has its very own web home page ( http://www.pubnix.net/~rmacpher/sac.html ). This net address is temporary and we are routing email through the Carleton freenet. It will be easier for our staff to manage this communication channel when we get a permanent SAC address. We are getting soaked! All of us by various governments, but in eastern Canada at least by Mother Nature. This probably explains why few clubs have sent in the membership fees. Remem- ber, the insurance requires that you be a registered member to be insured, be it your own glider or a club ship! If you have any doubt, ask your treasurer first if your SAC membership has been sent to the National office. On the topic of rainy weather, how would you feel if you had spent serious money to practise at the site of the 1997 World’s and experienced the worst weather that area has seen in 18 years.

  • Optimal Dynamic Soaring for Full Size Sailplanes
    OPTIMAL DYNAMIC SOARING FOR FULL SIZE SAILPLANES THESIS Randel J.

AFIT/GAE/ENY06-S04 GAE 06S OPTIMAL DYNAMIC SOARING FOR FULL SIZE SAILPLANES THESIS Presented to the Faculty Department of Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering Graduate School of Engineering and Management Air Force Institute of Technology Air University Air Education and Training Command In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Aeronautical Engineering Randel J. Gordon, BS Captain, USAF September 2006 APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE; DISTRIBUTION UNLIMITED. AFIT/GAE/ENY06-S04 GAE 06S Abstract Dynamic soaring is a unique flying technique designed to allow air vehicles to extract energy from horizontal wind shears. Dynamic soaring has been used by seabirds like the Albatross to fly hundreds of kilometers a day across the ocean. Small hobby radio controlled sailplanes have also used this technique to achieve sustained speeds of over 200 miles per hour from just a simple hand toss. Dynamic soaring, however, has never before been studied for use on full size aircraft. The primary goal of this research was to prove or disprove the viability of dynamic soaring for enhancing a full size aircraft’s total energy by using a manned sailplane as a demonstration air vehicle.

  • Free Flight Vol Libre
    3/02 Jun/Jul free flight • vol libre Priorities Air Cadets I would like to start this column by offering greetings to the cadets enrolled in the 2002 Air Cadet Gliding Scholarship Training Course who are receiving this issue of free flight. Free flight is published by the Soaring Association of Canada (SAC), a volunteer organization dedicated to promoting the sport of soaring in Canada. Virtually all soaring in Canada, outside of the Air Cadets, takes place at SAC clubs. In a typical SAC club, more emphasis is placed on post-licence flying than on flight training and issuing licences. Most clubs have modern composite single seat sailplanes available for their members. Pilots are encouraged to soar, to fly cross-country and pursue FAI badges. There are a couple of programs that SAC offers to assist Air Cadets who are interested in flying with a SAC club. SAC sponsors a number of continuing flying scholarships through the Air Cadet League. SAC membership is free for any active cadet who joins a SAC club. Cadets interested in finding out more about SAC and soaring as it is practised at SAC clubs, can look at our website <http://www.sac.ca>. There you will find a list of clubs and their locations, back issues of free flight in electronic format that you can download, and other soaring-related pages. There is also some good information on <http://edmc.net/ soar/cadets/>. SAC members who wish to learn more about the Air Cadet League of Canada can visit their website at <http://www.aircadetleague.com>.
