</div>The Soaring Safety Foundation (SSF) presenter has asked us not to record the presentation.
Everyone’s best option to attend this presentation is to be at the hangar no later than 10AM on Saturday, Oct 10. The hangar will be cleared of most equipment and we will set up chairs for social distancing. Be sure to bring your mask. It should be good weather on Saturday but cool so we will keep the doors closed and run some heaters. If you can arrive at 9AM to help with set up this will be most helpful.
However, we understand that not everyone will be able to attend in person. Therefore, we will be providing a Zoom meeting link by Friday afternoon via email. Keep an eye out for it. To optimize the Zoom meeting video performance we will be temporarily turning off our Wi-Fi system and our security camera system.
Let me know if you have any questions.
– John DeRosa
John L – Additional cones seems like a good idea to delineate our safety boundaries. Why are you thinking of removing them?John H DeRosaKarl – I have been out of town for two weeks just returning today. When I
heard of your incident I was so very worried for your well being and so
very glad to hear that your injuries were minor. I immediately thought
of our talk before I left town about your concerns for your wife and I knew that you would
be more worried about her than yourself. Happy that there were many people at the field to get you the help you needed at a critical time. Things can be replaced but people are the most important in your life when the chips are down. Take good care of yourself.John H DeRosa(OHM Ω)“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”– Albert EinsteinThe LXNav Nano 4 is a very cool device. Certified IGC* recorder with a color display about the size of a deck of cards (display = 3.5″). Audio vario, terrain maps, thermal assistant, audible airspace warnings, etc. About $700. https://www.cumulus-soaring.com/store/lxnav-nano4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-0klhqw2-w
======================
Here are some other certified IGC recorders;
Naviter Oudie IGC – About $1100. Runs SeeYou Mobile. Largest 5″ display. Larger battery than the Oudie model 1 or 2 which is the exact same as the official IGC* recorder but just with an unofficial recorder. The PW-5 has an Oudie 2. I had an Oudie 2 in my old DG101 and loved the SeeYou Mobile software. https://www.cumulus-soaring.com/store/naviter-oudie-igc?search=oudie%20IGC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAMV61n7C5E
LXNav Nano 3 – About $600. Identical in function to the Nano 4 with a smaller “matchbook” color 2.4″ display. I currently use this as a primary flight recorder and a backup navigation device (if the lights go out in the cockpit). https://www.cumulus-soaring.com/store/lxnav-nano3?search=nano%203
LXNavigation Colibri 2 – About $495. Very similar in function and size to the LXNav Nano 3.https://wingsandwheels.com/lx-navigation-colibri-ii.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_pl9iLpxAc
LXNavigation Colibri X – About $750. Very similar in function and size to the LXNav Nano 4. https://wingsandwheels.com/lx-navigation-colibri-x.html======================
There are some other certified IGC recorders for sale on the used market from time to time on http://glidersource.com. Warning – They go FAST!LXNav Nano earlier models – The original did not have a display. Nano 2 is identical to the Nano 3 but with a slower processor and less bright display.
LXNavigation Colibri earlier models – The first model did not have a display. I owned a Colibri II which had a display size like that Nano 1,2,3.
======================
* Certified IGC file – Is needed for silver/gold/diamond badge flights, national contests and record setting flights. Non-IGC certified recorders can be used otherwise. The difference between IGC and non-IGC recorders is the incorporation of a pressure altitude transducer. There is free recorder/navigation software available that runs on you phone like XCSoar (https://www.xcsoar.org/). The Oudie model 2 is a very nice standalone non-IGC recorder and moving map display with the same functionality as the Oudie IGC. About $625 – https://www.cumulus-soaring.com/store/naviter-oudie2?search=oudie%202 http://aviation.derosaweb.net/Oudie/John H DeRosa(OHM Ω)

Wish I could be there on Thursday. Skysight says lift up to 4300+ with CUs starting at 12:30 and no OD. I will take a flight on Wednesday and cross my fingers that I will stay up.

John L,
Sorry I didn’t get all your turnpoints written down yesterday. You rattled them off so fast I got dizzy and dropped my pen.
Is all flying in August like this? We can only pray it is so.
– John D.I can be there on Wednesday with shovel in hand. We have a flat tamper in the hangar. I assume later than buying top soil we will find dirt “lying around”.I will also bring out a sprayer but two sprayers will be better if someone has another.
Time?? 9AM??John H DeRosa(OHM Ω)

http://derosaweb.net/matrix_codes/DeRosaweb_URL_MC.pngNice barrels but I am unsure what we might do with these. Trash cans? We have quite a few of them already.
