Interesting "old school" sailplane construction. The Dart was originally designed to Standard Class rules and first flew in 1964, winning the 1965 OSTIV prize at the World Championships at South Cerney, England. This notwithstanding, a disappointing competitive performance led to the development of the 17 m. Open Class Dart 17, which had a wood and metal bonded spar in place of the Dart 15's all wood spar. A retractable main gear was added as an option (Dart 17R), and later production examples have an all metal tailplane. In 1965 Dick Georgeson of New Zealand set a world Out & Return record of 730.6 km./ 453.98 miles in a Dart 15. Slingsby History The company was founded in nearby Scarborough as Slingsby Sailplanes by Frederick Nicholas Slingsby, a furniture manufacturer, World War I aviator and gliding enthusiast. Its first aircraft was a German designed Falke which flew in 1931. In 1934 the company moved to Kirbymoorside. In World War II, Slingsby contributed to the production of military gliders with the Slingsby Hengist. Slingsby's last glider, the Slingsby T.65 Vega, ceased production in 1982. The company is now a subsidiary of Cobham plc. Cobham has 3 main groups of companies; FR Aviation, Aerospace Systems (formerly Flight Refuelling Group) and the Chelton Group of companies (of which Slingsby Aviation is a member). Slingsby designs and manufactures composite structures, ranging from large marine structures, such as submarine rudders, to lightweight helmets for <b>...</b>

The pilots - Romanian FAI Qualifying Sailplane Grand Prix 1-8 May 2011. www.sgp2011.aeroclubulromaniei.ro On behalf of the Romanian Airclub and the Romanian Aeronautical Federation we would like to welcome all the Grand Prix glider pilots around the world to pariticipate in the Romanian FAI Qualifying Sailplane Grand Prix in May 2011. This is the first ever Qualifying Sailplane Grand Prix held in Romania thus opening a practically new gliding location for this type of event. The remarkable weather conditions in spring in combination with a hill / mountain area and the relatively short tasks of GP gliding can offer the outstanding gliding experience of our country for the first time.

Introduced by Mario Hytten, CEO Planetaire AB Sailplane Grand Prix is, quite simply, a glimpse into the future of eco-friendly competitive sport. Available on Blu ray and DVD: www.sailplanegrandprix.com
www.sailplanegrandprix.com The decision to film the FAI 3rd World Sailplane Grand Prix final in Chile was one happy consequence of the global economic downturn. The Vitacura club in Santiago had already demonstrated its organisational flair in 2009, and with other nations uncertain about whether or not they could host the 3rd Gliding World Grand Prix, it seemed logical to go with a venue that already had the infrastructure so freshly in place. And, with apologies to the world's other great mountain backdrops, what better place to showcase the pure natural beauty of gliding than the Andean Cordillera? The rest is history: a specialist film crew was assembled by Mario Hytten, and they recorded the glorious ups and downs of Sailplane Grand Prix that you see on the film. And if that's the history, just imagine the future. Blu ray and DVD out soon!

Date- 10th Mar 11 Source- www.nasa.gov 'On a cold and windy February afternoon 50 years ago, the late Paul Bikle, then director of NASA's Flight Research Center, soared into the stratosphere with one goal in mind - a world altitude record for unpowered sailplanes. Less than two hours later, Bikle and his Schweizer 1-23E sailplane had reached an altitude of 46267 feet - a remarkable record that would stand for 25 years.'

Unboxing and description of the Park Zone Radian Glider! This is a very large (78.8" wingspan) sailplane that is capable of long flights due to it's huge size and 'sailing' capabilities. Off the same battery my super cub gets only a 10minute flight on, this plane will get 25 minutes! If you want a relaxing, long, flight, this may be the perfect plane for you!

This vintage sailplane was at the Vintage Sailplane Association meet at Manning, SC many years ago. Converted from the original VHS to DVD. Then the VOB files converted to avi with AutoGordianKnot. File was resized from 720 x 489 to 320 x 240 using Virtualdub. Avi format then converted to flv using Adobe Flash CS3. Whew!

Roberta from The Vancouver Soaring Association was kind enough to take me up for my first sailplane flight at the Hope Regional Airpark in Hope, British Columbia. Hope Airpark is also the new home of Fly Gravity Sports - a hang gliding operation new to BC. Enjoy the fantastic views of the Fraser Valley, Hope Mountain and the Cascades in the distance. Special thanks to Roberta and Frank from VSA for helping Fly Gravity Sports experience the joys of flight from a different perspective.
