I sense someone shining a laser against the wall for the cat to chase.

Tried that once, won't do it ever again because I think it dazzled the
poor cat: so not at all a kind thing to do.

Why pay for a subscription to a "struggling" magazine just to get one article? Why not just send it to him?
or "waremark" can get a copy by sending me her/his email.

Why pay for a subscription to obtain one article when there are better soaring mags around (e.g. the British Sailplane and Gliding)?
Send me your email and I'll send you Mr. Nadler's article.

Nicely done article Dave. Very a accurate from my experience over the years of transitioning from a 1-26 to the self launch Slilent-IN, and then to the DG400.

Another culprit that can get you that is on most it not all instillations, is the blasted micro switches that got me not time after some maintenance.

Because you are paying for membership in SSA. If you live in the US membership in the SSA helps all US based soaring pilots.

The readership of this online group isn't exclusively from USA, and this time the query wasn't.

Even if the version in Soaring might be copyright SSA (I haven't checked; I'm also abroad), the author has helpfully posted a link to his own website.
