I tested ReliRescue which transmits SMS messages with your location to the phone of the person following you (or not). Seemed to work fine. MapMyTracks still doesn't work on the Blackjack II. Mologogo doesn't seem to be working with the Boost phones (at least near Casa Grande).

You'll find the polars as published by the manufacturers (and massaged a bit by me) in the article above. Given that FlyChart (http://flytec.com/Products/Software.htm) has a great little create-a-polar-from-a-test-flight application, I thought that I would go out early in the morning and do a flight to see if I could... mehr

One of the big problems with competition is having someone to do the scoring. You need a geeky guy who knows how to use the GPS download and scoring programs. These skills are in relatively short supply, and certainly almost none of the pilots want to have these skills.
Also downloading GPSes is a big pain in the butt. You have to deal with... mehr

Is the Francisco Grande Golf Resort a good place to hold a hang gliding meet? I think so, but it takes a whole bunch of pilots thinking so to make for a well attended competition.
First off it is a great idea to hold a hang gliding meet at a small resort so that everyone can be together and socialize with everyone else before and after the... mehr

Oh and yes, if you are reading this Mr. Oz Report, we had a northerly wind and quite a bit of rough air sometimes.
