It takes a lot of dedication to be a private pilot with a current license. More and more rules are trying to keep the private pilot from enjoying the sport of aviation. In addition of the requirement of staying current there is the added burden to keep up with the ever changing air security regulations. Then there is the cost of operating an airplane. With or without power, it is getting more and more expensive to keep an aircraft airworthy. So, is there a future for private aviation? Is there a future for the sport of soaring?

Just a quick note... Yes, we are back! I am not sure why we have been the target for attacks, maybe because our website is so awsome? I don't get it. I really only have one question to the individual who hacked our site: WHY??? Is it for your personal pleasure to destroy something? Or are you just bored out of your mind and you need something to do. If it is the former, I suggest join the army. They always blow up something. If it is the latter, learn how to fly! You will never be board again. Come an join our group, I could use your talent building a better site! 
Anyway, we are back for now and I have a ton of more material to publish, stay tuned!

After a long hiatus, the PW-5 Team is back. Joe Cool has returned and will be reporting the latest events in the PW-5 class and the latest achievements on OLC. Our staff reporter will go out on a virtual tour and report from anywhere in the world about the latest PW-5 achievements, and me, JC, will try to coordinate it all.

 The following is a story that relates to the sport of soaring in general. We the glider pilots depend on tow pilots to get us in the air. It is important that we all make sure that we do this very important portion of a flight safely. The other portion of a flight of course is landing, but for that we do not need a tow pilot.
Joe Cool filed the following story.

Forwards or Backwards – How do you tow?
 Our contributor from down under, Mark Kerr is suffering under the "winter blues". Soaring is not happening down there, but the PW-5 team from Australia is getting ready. Here is his article on how to get the glider to the take off spot.
By the way, does any one know if there is a one person rigging tool available for the PW-5? If you do, please let us here at the PW-5 headquarter know. We had some inquiries asking if there is such a thing as a one person rigger.
